Well…still not a lot of politics going on but I thought I’d just write about a few things and see what happens…first, I forgot to say Happy birthday to Robert Plant on Tuesday…I can’t believe he is only 5 years older than I am…I do feel better today and the bike ride was so much better today…it must be not eating enough since I gulped down almost 2K calories yesterday and I feel better today…there was one bit of political deliciousnous today that made me laugh….Colin Powell calling out the gov of NC for signing the new voting restrictions there…and in public, with him sitting in the audience…it’s about time one of the grown ups from the other side called out that nonsense…what else? Not much right now…so, I might come back later…who knows?
August 22nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday with the trip out to GH for some swimming and sun…and the car ran perfectly so that was a plus…and, I slept okay last night but missed the storms with the earplugs in…just have to compromise sometimes….felt like crap all day yesterday, though, and that makes 3 days in a row and that is without having cocktails…not sure what is going on but I do have bouts of coughing and a head that feels like concrete so I am going to guess it’s allergies…along with not eating enough…so, I pigged out yesterday to see if that would help…we’ll see…barely made it through the bike ride and my legs and lungs were just so flat that I almost cut the ride short…hope that is better today since it is the only fun thing I get to do…not much to do today…I am going to make homemade pizza for lunch so maybe the carbs will help….more later…
Strange days…
Well…will get back to the political stuff tomorrow but right now, I want to just update this day and the strange occurrences that were in it…first, the beach was fun and not strange at all…water was a little cold but easy to get used to and I did get a little color…and the screaming children were mostly kept at bay so it was relatively peaceful…and the drive was okay, too with the car being just perfect…but, the real strangeness happened after I got back and was waiting to make the left into the complex…lots of traffic and off to my left there is a youngster riding his bike coming up to the crosswalk…he has the light to cross but some idiot that was not paying attention turned right right into him…it is the same corner that I always assume people are either going to run the light or not notice that I am there…have been almost hit there at least half a dozen times…it looked like the kid was okay but the bike wasn’t…people are just idiots…geez…
August 21st
Well…running not as late today and there is a reason for it…still not feeling that great but I am going to go out to the beach this morning and lie in the sand and try to swim it its not too cold….but, that means I need to get going and pack up all of the stuff I need…it looks like the bike ride will have to wait for this aft or I may just take the day off…I was going to go out tomorrow but it looks like rain so today is the day…more later…
Feeling like crap…
Well…it has not been a good day today…have felt like crap all day and that has forced me to just hit the couch…stomach has been iffy all day with an elevated temp so I think that means I haven’t been eating enough…it’s hard when nothing even looks good and makes the stomach worse just thinking about eating…or, it may be a bug, who knows? I do know that thinking about political stuff is the furthest thing from my mind today so the chances are small I’ll do one of those…the bike has held up for the third day of riding today so that makes me feel okay…but, when I was out today…I felt like crap with no energy in the legs and I even was having problems getting enough air so maybe it is a bug…or maybe that I only had one cup of coffee before I went out…oh, well….I guess I’ll just write the day off and start again tomorrow….
August 20th
Well…running late again today and I am going to blame it on the soreness in my neck that just won’t go away…and I know it’s bad when I start taking ibuprofen before 8am….but, it may be that I’m sleeping better and hurting it that way…who knows? It was an okay day yesterday but an almost total veg out and that just can’t continue to happen when I do have things to do….so, I’m going to work on that today…cleaning needs to be done and I do need to drive the car since it has gone about a quarter of a mile since Friday and that is not good for it…I do need to get out to the beach this week, too since it is getting to the end of August and I haven’t been there yet…it is supposed to be about 90 on Thurs so that looks like the day if nothing else comes up….right now, I need to get on the weight machine and then out on the bike…more later…
Tennessee repubs are pricks…
Well…just had to comment on what happened over the weekend at a town hall meeting that was held by one of the repub reps from Tennessee…when a 12 year old girl whose father is an undocumented alien asked what the rep was going to do to help her father avoid deportation along with the other millions that are here, and this prick answered “nothing” and then went on the typical repub rant about they are here breaking the law so they should all deport themselves…yadda, yadda….but, the worst part is the crowd turned on this young girl and started to cheer this prick as she stood there crying….where the hell are these pricks from? Who taught them that it is okay to attack even children for political reasons? That is where the repub party is right now…just a bunch of hating pricks who don’t deserve to breathe the same air as those of us who have empathy for the plight of others…I’ll bet they went home feeling so smug and good about themselves that it makes me sick….I just can’t wait until they all die off…geez…
August 19th
Well…running kind of late today but it is nothing but just being in a lower gear to start my day…have had this bad pain that started in my left shoulder yesterday but now has moved into the center of my back and my neck…so bad that I have taken some pain medicine already today…not sure if I can get the workout in but I am going to try…it was just a normal day yesterday and I’m not sure if I hurt my back on the bike or not…there has been a grinding sound coming out of my lower back but that is pretty normal…didn’t do much yesterday…did cook some food that came out okay and then just watched the races….a pretty veggie day…not much to do today…just going to do the normal stuff and keep it low key until the pain subsides…more later…
Yep…this is cheating…
Well…as I said yesterday, with the clowns being out of Washington, I really haven’t had a lot to write about but I am going to continue to cheat so I don’t get behind and have to do a bunch of these in one day…I did take the bike out with the new repairs and so far so good….no cracks in the fiberglass or looseness so I guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed…it was nice to have a seat that didn’t move around and change every few feet…that just annoys the hell out of me….and I do like the way the chrome seat post goes with the polished aluminum swing arm…I did just notice that the seat has started to come apart at the seams so I do have to sew that back together…probably will do that right now so it doesn’t get worse…so, no political one today…I’ll really try tomorrow…
August 18th
Well…it was a day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done…even started to clean and that is something I’ll continue today…even going to cook today…pork loin with mushroom sauce, carrots and potatoes….but, first, I want to get out on the bike and see how the repair worked…it looks like it is a much better job than the last time and I hope it lasts more than a week….slept okay last night but still no dreams so nothing to report…okay, this one is going to be short for now since I am really want to get out on the bike and see how it works….more later…
