Well…it was a long day yesterday but I did get back on the bike so that is something…but, I was really stupid yesterday and will be paying for it all day today….oh, well….didn’t get the top sealed right on the car either so there was a small leak in it when I went out for the papers this morning….I am just not feeling this right now and I’m not sure why…I do have a few free movie channels on the dish today so that will help in the recovery process as will getting off my butt and onto the weight machine…may even get back on the bike if it stops raining…but, that will be later…I need to have the second cup of coffee and sit for a few first….more later…
Another day…
Well…I was going to update my day since I can’t find anything that gets the old outrage flowing today…I did get a 5 mile bike ride in and I feel so decrepit with the lungs on fire and soreness everywhere…oh, well…one thing that has made me smile a little is that the Koch’s have pulled their lying ACA ads from the air across the US…it looks like the Kochroaches don’t really do too well when exposed to the sunlight of the media and truth….maybe things are finally turning..I think their brand is being tarnished by the lies, lies, and more lies they have been putting out…it’s okay for their base since they are used to being lied to and eat that crap up, but the rest of the country is starting to get tired of it…especially since over half of the political ads run so far this year…something like 30,000 of them have been against the ACA…even though people are starting to like the law…hope it continues and the Kochs just go away…wouldn’t it be nice if they’d use the money to feed the hungry or house the homeless…430 million would have done a lot of good…geez…
March 18th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I was very good just testing why I have been feeling like crap lately…I do feel a little better today but I am still suffering from allergy-like symptoms that I will need to figure out…slept okay but tossed and turned again and I am sore from it….I am going to get out on the bike for a recon run today to take a look at the trails and see how much longer it will be for a full run…hope I can get to it later this week and get started losing the winter weight….feel like a slug without exercise and that may be part of my malaise…it looks like one more week before the summer wheels go back on the car…just not going to push it…not much other than the bike ride to do today and cleaning…have to put the trash out and do some cooking…more later…
Still not feeling well…
Well…still not feeling well today and I’m not sure if I did it to myself or not….don’t think so…but, I still do have to come back to do another one today no matter how I feel….I did just get the chance to go out and read Nate Silver’s new website Fivethirtyeight.com and it could become a place for some news that is as objective as it comes since he is a numbers guy and just wants to report the facts, not opinion…well…there may be some opinion but it will be labeled as such so you can tell….the repubs shot themselves in the foot, again, over the past few days…bitching about how people who qualify for food stamps actually use the program to eat…while applauding corporations not paying any taxes while using the laws/programs that allow them to do that….shouldn’t their heads be spinning yet? I guess “corporations are people my friends” and as such they are more equal than real ones….geez…
March 17th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and it did not go too well…nothing really to speak of but just felt so down and depressed all day and that has carried over into today…not sure what it is but it is bad…slept okay, I think, but back up really early again today…I did make corned beef and cabbage yesterday and that came out great but even that couldn’t lift my spirits….trying coffee right now and I hope something will happen today to make it better…not much to do today…if it gets warmer, I may take the bike out for a ride around the complex just to start sorting it out for spring…that is supposed to start later in the week but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen…more later
Just trying to keep up…
Well…it’s been a pretty veggie day today and the only thing I’ve done is cook the corned beef and cabbage…ate too much and now have to just be uncomfortable for a while….I have been trying to figure out what to write for today and haven’t been able to figure it out yet….no news, really, oh, but there are sports…Man U got their butts kicked this morning and the race has been delayed by rain twice…and Michigan is behind State right now…okay, I think I’ll just write this one off as a filler and quit here….
March 16th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a nice lunch with T so that made it better…but it is still too damn cold outside and that is making me a little depressed…I want to get the summer tires back on the car but there may be snow this week so I guess that will have to wait….slept okay but got up early to see the first F1 race of the season since they still haven’t shut off the channel that carries it…and, Man U is on that same channel this morning so that is pretty cool, too…didn’t get anything accomplished yesterday and today looks about the same with all of the sports on…Michigan and State, racing and then the Wings later so it looks like I’ll just write today off, too…making corned beef and cabbage today for St. Patty’s day even though it’s tomorrow…I like to cook big meals on Sunday and there will be enough leftovers for tomorrow….more later…
Just some stuff…
Well…in an effort to not get any farther behind, just thought I’d come back to talk about a few things that I read today…the first one is how petty the repubs are becoming since they are losing the battle for bigotry against gays and lesbians…in South Carolina, the repub controlled legislature there voted to cut funding for a couple of public universities because they put some books about the experience of being gay on the reading lists that freshmen could choose from…yep, you heard it right, now the repubs who scream “freedom” constantly are now showing that the only acceptable freedom is what is acceptable to them and their narrow little minds that are still living in the 12th century….what’s next? Book burnings? This is why we need to get out to vote these reprehensible asses out of office to keep them from legislating their religion based hatred of anyone who is not a white christian…oh, one more thing…Bill Maher went off on a righteous rant about religion the other night on his show….just frickin hilarious….
March 15th
Well..it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool for the second time in a row so that was cool…and I did get to put the top down out and back so that was even better…didn’t come back for another one, though, so today I’ll have to do better…I did get up early to watch F1 qualifying since I am still getting the normally blocked channel that has it on and that was cool but 6 am is pretty early…and now there is BPL soccer that I haven’t been able to see for a year…and the rest of the day is filled with sports with racing, basketball, soccer and more so I may be able to keep the mind occupied…not much to do today…might have a late lunch with T but that is about it….need to have the second cup of coffee and go back to the couch for awhile…more later….
March 14th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I made it a cocktail night last night so I feel a little low this morning…but, I think the bug is receding more so that kind of offsets the cocktails…and I had dreams last night that were pretty weird so that was a plus…the phone went dead in the middle of the night so my normal was a little skewed…it’s weird that I have become accustomed to having it even when I don’t use it…it looks like today could be a little busy with having some errands before pool today…I did win 2 bucks in the Mega drawing so that will be recycled into today’s drawing for 350 million…will give me something to look forward to…and maybe I can win a second week of pool…who knows?
