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..

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….

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…

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…

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…

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…

Well…it’s been a pretty normal day so far today and I did get a few things done…didn’t snow much overnight but the came through and plowed the streets again so I had a foot and a half of snow in the mouth of the alley I had to clear and then I did the front sidewalk just for the heck of it…got the cleaning in the living room almost done to get ready for the tech coming tomorrow…and ate a way too big lunch so I may leave that as the only meal today….going to warm up and get ugly tomorrow through Thursday and then back into the deep freeze…going to need to do the grocery run Wed since the 8 inches of ice in the alley are going to turn into 8 inches of slush and I don’t think even the new tires can cope with that…but I guess we’ll see…

Well…I don’t remember being this sore in quite a while as the two day rule kicks in…just had to take an ibuprofen since I can barely move…everything hurts so I’m going to have to take a day off but I still need to shovel the 4 inches of snow we got last night…and that makes almost 20 inches in the past 3 days and I am getting tired of it…it’s pretty damn depressing to have this crap piling up every day…I do need to clean this place up with the comcast tech coming tomorrow to figure out why my internet is screwed up…up at 4am today but stayed in bed til 5:40 but that is still too damn early to be up every day…don’t have a lot to do today but clean and I’m going to ease into it…just need to rest and have some coffee before my old body will get moving…more later….

Well…after the move yesterday and then shoveling the 8 inches of snow that fell yesterday and overnight, I am so damn sore that I can barely get up off the couch…and I think I tore something in my left bicep since I can barely move it and it hurts like fire whenever I move it…and my right hip is sore and stiff and I can barely walk…so there will be more ibuprofen later…and then I’ll be back out shoveling again since we are getting another 4-6 inches today…okay, so now my right bicep hurts, too…crap, it’s going to take me a week to heal up from this…too damn old for this but I know we are committed to moving large appliances in a couple of weeks…darn…

Well…up and moving at 5:14 this morning and that really shows that no matter how much work I do, I won’t sleep much…I should have poured myself into bed early and then slept in but that was not ever going to happen…I’m sore everywhere so today will be a take it easy day after I get the weight work in, the rides, and then shoveling the snow that piled up yesterday…my internet is screwed up and comcast is coming Tuesday to take a look at it…it freezes up constantly and that sucks…it’s only 10 degrees out there right now and it is supposed to warm up this week and were forecast to get an inch of rain Thursday with the warm up…not much to do today…have to start cleaning this place up but I really need a day off so I may wait til Monday for that…it sucks that I can’t watch soccer with the internet really bad so I’ll just read I guess…more later…
