Well…up at 2:45 and out of bed a little after 5 and I am shaking my head why that is happening…I mean this crap has been going on for months now and I spend my days just frickin exhausted…and today I have a lot of stuff to do…and it’s only 10 degrees out there and the cold is wearing me out…so, I’ll run the car again today before I head out for errands but need to get the weight work and a ride in first…skipped the bagel yesterday so that meant only two meals but with the 700 calories in the pizza, I was over 1K for the day…and that is too much…but today is going to be a lost day for my weight and that sucks a bit but I’ll just have to live with it and be fat…the coffee is not working yet but it needs to so I can get off my butt and get the day started…more later…

Well…just finished up the 8th book in this batch so that means back to the library tomorrow morning to get more…I really do fear I’m getting to the end of the books so I guess I’ll have to start doing something else with my time…I do need to stop at the city offices tomorrow to pay the water bill and get my beach parking passes before I hit the library but they’re only 3 blocks apart so no big deal…I did get to DD for bargains today and a couple of them were pretty good deals but filled my freezer completely…I mean how can you pass up breaded chicken patties for 6 bucks for 5 pounds? Going to be a lot of hot sandwiches with lettuce and tartar sauce…oh, and honey ham for 2 bucks a pound? Now I am going to have to eat out of the freezer for a couple of weeks…so the grocery bill for the next couple of weeks is going to be small…it is nice to have easy stuff in the freezer when I don’t feel like cooking”’it snowed again last night and I had to shovel again today…hope it doesn’t snow tonight..it starts to warm up Friday and we’ll be in the 40’s next week…outdoor rides!

Well…didn’t get out of bed til almost 6 this morning but woke up before 3 and struggled to sleep after that…and I’m feeling it right now…need to get on the weight work in 15 minutes or so and get my day started but I just poured the first cup of coffee so it’s not working at all yet…need to do the grocery run this morning and hit DD but I have no room in the freezer for what I want to get so something has to come out of it…not sure what but I think I’ll take a container of ham soup out…it will probably be a one ride day today since I can use the rest…my skin is healing up okay and I think it will be done in a few days…going to try shaving with a razor this morning after using my electric shaver for the past couple of weeks to allow my face to heal…no snow overnight and I think we may be to the point where I don’t have to talk about that anymore…yeah, that made me laugh, too…it snows here well into April and I’ll be shoveling for another month…more later…

Well…the wind has been blowing like crazy out here all day until it just stopped a few minutes ago and that is pretty weird…did two rides again today so I don’t feel guilty about having two meals with my breakfast bagel…going to have breakfast for dinner with eggs, sausage, and toast later to use up the eggs so I can get another dozen tomorrow…have 2 pounds of bacon in the freezer so I’ll have to thaw a half pound package later in the week…need to get reading right now to finish off the book I have going so I can get more Thursday along with picking up my beach stickers and paying the water bill…okay, time to read…

Well…another day of waking up a little after 4 and then out of bed a little after 5 and that just frickin sucks…haven’t slept well for weeks now and tonight will be the night I take something for it…it’s only 17 degrees out there right now and I’m tired of it being so cold all the time…but it is February in Michigan and at least it’s not below zero as it has been in the past…and there is a warm up coming next week but it’s going to be March so it should be warming up…not sure what I’m going to do today other than the normal stuff and reading but I should be cleaning something and I’ll have to figure that out later…I do need to treat my face again right now even though it barely hurts and I hope that means it’s healing…okay, the right side does hurt a bit and that means it’s been 5 days of hurting and that sucks…need more coffee and to get off my butt and get going…more later…

Well..even though it never got over 25 degrees today, he sun was strong enough to melt most of the snow we got over the past couple of days…I did have to shovel the snow after the rides but I did two rides today…going to try to keep that up the rest of the week…I did get a few things done around here today and I’m making progress on some little things…my face is healing and I’ll bet it will be back to normal in a week or so…I am curious to see if all of the keratosis are gone or if I’ll need to treat again…I did make one of the 4 cheese pizzas I got at DD and it wasn’t bad after I put pepperoni, ham, green pepper, onion, and green olives on it…and that will keep me eating for another two days…and I still have 4 more pizzas in the freezer…okay, time for a movie…

Well…damn, up a little after 4 and out of bed at 5:13 and that is getting to be just so damn boring…feel a little worn out today but that won’t stop me from getting the 2 hours of exercise this morning…was not successful eating more yesterday…I mean a bagel, bowl of soup, and a salami sandwich is under 1K calories and that is just not sustainable since I burn 600 on every ride…oh, well…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but with the Olympics being over, I’ll have time to get some cleaning done…need to hit the city offices to pay my water bill and pick up my beach stickers for the car but I still have a book to read before that so it won’t be til Wed or so…the coffee isn’t working yet so I’m going to pour another cup down to jump start this tired old body…and the get after the day…more later…

Well…it snowed enough and it’s cold enough so the snow won’t melt so I’m going to have to go out and shovel later…I did get a good start to the day today with getting the weight work and one ride in before the gold medal hockey game started…and we’re up 1-0 at the start of the 2nd…even got a good start on eating enough with a toasted bagel and cream cheese…but I’m not sure what I’m going to do today other than watch the game and the race later…I am going to try to make a pizza later for dinner…and go down and get the 2nd ride in….more later…

Well…I don’t know how I’m going to do it but I need to break this pattern of waking up at 4:30 and getting out of bed at 5am….it’s just not sustainable and I really do need more sleep…but I’ll dig deep and get things done…the men’s hockey final is on at 8am so I’ll need to get at least one ride in before that…didn’t eat anywhere near enough calories yesterday with just a bagel and two bowls of soup so I’ll have to fix that today…thinking of trying one of the 4 cheese self rising pizza that will add lots of calories…going to add pepperoni, green pepper, onions, and ham along with some extra cheese…should be about 700 calories for two slices so I’ll get close to the thousand calories I need for the day…not going to do much else today since the lack of calories has me in go slow mode today…edging toward March but it’s not going to warm up for 10 days or so…so I guess I’ll just hunker down and survive it…more later…
