January 3rd

Well…maybe this is a good sign…I remembered to come here this morning and part of it may be that my internet tv has been down since yesterday morning and I don’t have anything else to do….slept okay last night but feel a little fatigued today but I’m not as sore as I should be after beating on my body doing the snow yesterday….more stiff than anything and it looks like I won’t need any ibuprofen this morning…while I was sitting here yesterday, I noticed that I haven’t been coughing hardly at all since I shut down the downstairs project 6 weeks ago and that feels good…it was such a pain coughing constantly and having my head and lungs clogged up all the time…and it’s nice to know that I could fix that and there is no long term damage….didn’t get on the bike yesterday but I am going to try to get a short ride in today even though the roads are snow covered again…I just need to get out of here for a while and breathe some fresh air…reset the computer on the bike yesterday so I can get started on a new year and more miles…I can’t believe how much better the worn out snow tires are than my new all weather ones….went out to get the paper and never spun them once when I would have been all over the place with the other ones…I guess I can get one more winter out of them…not much to do today….just going to ease into it and have some more coffee right now and read the rest of the news….then look for houses…yay?  More later….

You would think it would be easy…

Well…with all of the crap that is going on with the idiot in chief still trying to overturn the election and his moron followers threatening violence in the streets if the hitler in waiting is not installed as president for life, you would think it would be easy to find a topic in politics to talk about…yeah, not so easy so I’m going to just noodle a bit to see what happens. Did you see where one of the idiot boy’s lawyers actually thinks he is the reincarnation of Jesus? Yep and there is a long rant out on the internet…I won’t link to it because…geez, of course not….there is enough crazy out there without me posting any of it…oh, and Louie Gohmert get slapped down for his lawsuit against Pence with the novel interpretation of the constitution the he says gives Mike Pence the authority to overturn the results of the election on the 6th? After he lost the suit, Gohmert called for trump’s supporters to riot in the streets and threatened the appeals court with violence if they didn’t take up the case…and that led to ole Louie getting a bar complaint lodged against him for multiple violations of the law…so, there’s that…oh, and the moron in chief is still calling for his brown shirt supporters to show up in DC on the 6th and burn the place down if pence doesn’t give him the election…I wonder if that is proper for a *president to do? Okay, yeah…that’s sarcasm….god I can’t wait til that asshole is gone…

Geez, I’m getting old…

Well….I must be getting old…for the first time that I can remember I had to stop and rest only 2/3rds the way through doing the snow….just ran out of energy and couldn’t go…I know I had just finished putting the snow tires on the car, too, but that’s not a lot of work and now I’m sore everywhere and just can’t do anything else but sit here on the couch and do this…and I hooked the shovel on a crack in the driveway and damn near tore my bad thumb off and that is really going to hurt later today…and I put lots of jarring pressure on my right shoulder, too, so that is going to hurt later as it does right now…that dull, throbbing ache that is always there until the ibuprofen kicks in….that reminds me, I need to take some ibuprofen soon…geez…I’m getting old….

January 2nd

Well…slept all the way through to 6:03 this morning and didn’t want to get out of bed but knew there was no more sleep to be had so I gave up…my damn heel still hurts and now it is getting really annoying…and this is a weird one since it runs all the way across my heel and that has never happened before….so another few days of limping around here is going to happen and I am not happy about that…still waitng to put the snow tires on the car but I think I’ll try it today…and I need to try to clear the sidewalks after the freezing rain last night but I’m not sure what I can do about it without some salt that I don’t have…doesn’t look like I am going to get on the bike again today but I am going to dig out the instructions and reset the computer so I can go when the roads melt off some….just don’t have any motivation right now but maybe that will change later…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I do need to cook today and I should clean some but that would take walking and I don’t want to do that with the damn pain…so I think I’ll just sit here and have some more coffee and read the news first….more later…

Looking forward…

Well….after doing one of these that looked back at the horrible year that was 2020, I thought I’d look forward today to see if the new year could be better…I sure hope it is. What do we have to look forward to? At least the idiot boy will be gone in a couple of weeks for a start and that in itself makes for a better year…I am still looking forward to finding and buying a house for my final landing place…unless I win the 400 million dollar Mega tonight, then I’d buy a 3 or 4 million dollar house with a pool, lots of cars and a huge garage…but, in reality, I don’t think that is going to happen so I still need to keep putting one foot in front of the other….the house thing is the foundation to everything that can happen this year and I can’t wait to get that done…I wonder if I can take one more day off and just enjoy today and put the stress off until tomorrow? I am looking forward to my granddaughter being born this month and that would be a good start to the year…I never thought I’d have grandkids at all and I am still adjusting to it…it would be a hell of a lot easier if I could see them without any precautions but that will come later this spring…I can’t believe that 60% of healthcare workers in Ohio have said they won’t take the vaccine…I mean that is the foundation for getting this country moving again and it’s pretty damn selfish of them…I don’t know where people’s heads are at with that…okay, this one didn’t work out as I expected but I’m going to post it anyway…just rambling thoughts…I thought I had more to say….more later…

January 1st

Well…running a little late today with tossing and turning all night and not crawling out of bed until 6:30 or so…I wonder why my damn heel hurts more after not walking on it overnight? I can barely walk at all this morning and that is getting old….oh, well…I guess I’ll just keep treating it and see what happens….even with not sleeping well, I don’t feel too bad this morning with just the normal aches and pains….I am going to try to get out on the bike today before the new snow gets here since I haven’t been out in a few days…I do need to remember to get a photo of the computer on the bike before I reset it to start a new year…a little over 5,900 miles isn’t bad for an old guy….I do need to get the snowies on the car today if my heel will stand being on it for a hour or so….but, we’ll see…don’t have anywhere to go until getting the paper Sunday so I guess it could wait…not much to do today…just soccer and football and taking it easy….happy new year….more later…
