Well…yeah, I’m getting pretty repetitive with the titles lately so I’ll do better tomorrow…it WAS an easy day after getting the normal stuff done…went over 3,500 miles on the indoor bike today and with the 5,283 outdoors it gets me to 8,791 miles for the year…with just a bit over a week left I’ll get probably another 100 miles in…not bad for a year that I had no goals…and that is a record for indoors for a year from 3,151 last year…not bad for an old guy…going into GR Monday afternoon to meet up with K for a bit…haven’t seen her in almost 3 years so that will be fun…and the car could use a good run out…okay, need to read more…it’s another one meal day today…but I think I need to stop that…could be one of the reasons I feel so worn out…I guess we’ll see…

December 20th
Well…still frickin exhausted this morning and I know it’s the cold but I can’t let that stop me from getting going…still want to get the weight work in and two rides done before 9 so that means I need to get going…out of bed before 6 and I know that sounds like I got enough sleep but I woke up at 2:26 and was up an down since then so that means about 5 hours and that’s been going on for a week now….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and with how I’m feeling right now, I won’t get much done today either…just going to be in survival mode and try to stay warm…not sure what the meals will be today but I have a lot of eggs and a green pepper to be used so probably an omelet…will probably stay with the one meal a day thing I’ve been doing but that could be why I’m so tired…700 calories is not enough but that seems to be where I’m at right now…more later…
Healing…
Well…it appears I’m healing up from the moving damage that affected most of my body…I was able to do the weight work with my left arm today and it really doesn’t hurt much…my right hip is a little better but still hurts right after I get off the bike…but I can live with that…my cold seems to be better, too…at least my nose isn’t running like a faucet and I only had a little bit of a sinus headache today…but I didn’t get anything else done so that will have to happen tomorrow…I did have to shovel the snow since it was drifting over the sidewalk on the east side of the house and that was about a foot deep…but damn, it’s been cold after the 49 degrees yesterday, never getting over 20 today…but it’s getting 40 tomorrow but then back down to 22 for a high Sunday…just weird, weird weather…
December 19th
Well…up at 5:13…again…and that was one of the crappiest nights of sleep I’ve had in a while…just frickin worn out from the cold and having my head plugged up all day yesterday…a little better today but it will probably take a week or so before I feel normal again…the wind is howling out here and we have a winter weather advisory in effect…4+ inches of snow so I’ll be out shoveling later even though I feel pretty crappy…radar shows there will be snow for the next few hours so I won’t go out until after lunch….it’s going to be a struggle to get the weight work and rides in and I may just do one ride today to give myself a little break…still working on the BAH but it needs to go in the freezer later today so I’ll have to make some room for it…not much to do today…just going to ease into it and see where it goes…more later….
Yep it’s a cold…
Well…after coughing, sneezing, and having a runny nose today, all I can say is yep, it’s a cold…but I don’t feel bad and no sore throat so I’m not going to waste a covid test…we are now under a winter weather advisory for tonight and tomorrow with up to 4 inches of snow forecast…ick…and that is going to be on top of the ice that is going to come from all of the rain we had and that continues right now and the high is going to be only 23 tomorrow…they plowed again up here since they did such a crappy job earlier in the week so I had to go out and shovel the slush at the end of the alley and my front sidewalk…don’t have to go anywhere until Monday when I need to hit the lab for another blood draw so it will be okay…man, I’m tired…but I did get the weight work and rides in by 9am today and I’ll try to do the dame tomorrow..
December 18th
Well…up at 5:13 this morning and didn’t sleep much at all…and I think I have a cold…had a mild sore throat yesterday and today my head is plugged up but I really don’t know how I got a bug other than the move last Saturday when I was unmasked around a dozen people…oh, well…don’t feel that bad so I’m not going to burn a covid test…it’s over 40 right now heading to 47 today with rain so we will lose some of the piles of snow that were getting high enough to make it hard to throw the snow over them….but we will be back in the 20’s Friday and then up and down for a week…I just need a break from shoveling every damn day and this may be it…going to take it easy today with just the normal stuff and reading and I’m not sure if I have the energy to do much else…I guess we’ll see after the coffee works…more later….
An easy day…
Well…it has been an easy day today…for me anyway…I did get the two rides and weight work in, did the grocery run, and two trips to the library since they had a staff meeting and didn’t open til 10…it did get to 40 here today so the 8 inches of ice in the alley turned into 8 inches of slush but I got through it…and we are supposed to get to 45 tomorrow with an inch of rain…ick…had this craving for cheese spread for crackers so I got some at Aldis and that gives me a conundrum of eating a second meal or having cheese and crackers later…didn’t have a bagel for breakfast so I guess I have calories to give…and I’m not really hungry anyway so I guess I’ll skip meal two…my left arm is a little better today but my right hip has been bad since last weekend and I could barely get off the bike this morning…damn, getting old is a lot of work…
December 17th
Well…up and out of bed before 6 again today and I am still longing for a day of sleeping in that I really don’t think I’ll ever see again…it’s 40 degrees out there right now so the alley will be 8 inches of slush and I’m hoping the new tires can deal with that…or I’ll bury the car and be shoveling for a couple of hours…don’t have a lot to get on the grocery run today and I need to make room in the freezer for the ham bone I’m still eating from…that will go in by Friday and I am going to make some pasta to get away from ham,ham, ham all the time…I do have eggs to make omelets but they don’t really appeal to me right now….it is so nice to have my internet fixed so I can watch tv again…just to have it running in the background to keep my tinnitus at bay really helps me stay sane..not much to do today…weight work, bike, and the grocery run will fill up my morning but I may only do one ride today…I guess we’ll see….more later…
Internet works again…
Well…the xfinity techs just left about a half hour ago and I have been streaming since then with no freeze ups, pixelation, or any other problems so that is cool…very nice tech that I talked to and he kept me up to speed on what he was doing and what was done…they replaced the cable from the house to the pole and then replaced the junction box since there was a problem with that, too…since it was all outside it didn’t cost me a cent and I have my fingers crossed the problems are all fixed…more later…
December 16th
Well..damn, up at 5:14 this morning an that followed waking up at 4am and I am so damn tired of getting up that early every day…everything still hurts and it’s going to be a struggle to get moving…had to skip curling the weights since my left arm hurt so badly but it might be a little better today…I’ll find out in a few minutes when after I have coffee and get this done…need to get the weight work and at least one ride before the comcast tech comes…I am so damn tired of my internet being so bad I can’t stream anything…so I’ll probably have to switch to frontier fiber and that is going to be a pain in the ass…oh, well…don’t have a lot to do today but the tech and I really can’t wait til he’s done…want my normal life back….more later…
