Well….another 5 am morning and I am really tired…and driving a hundred miles yesterday didn’t help…and the house I drove out to look at in Hastings was a dump so it was a total waste of my time…but, I have an appointment to look at one out in Muskegon this morning that just came on the market yesterday and looks pretty good…only 80K but I think I’ll go over that if it looks as nice as the photos…small house on a double lot with a garage and an immaculate basement…it’s an estate sale and the people who lived there were there for 50 years and took great care of it…and it’s only a mile and a half from Lake Michigan in an area where they are building new houses to replace the old ones…but, the whole thing is paneled and looks very 70’s…can live with that if the rest of it looks okay…so, obviously, I didn’t get anything done yesterday and it was too cold to ride the bike so I need to get out today when I get back here….my heel is almost done hurting and that is a relief after how long it has been driving me nuts….not much to do today…probably be depressed since someone won the Mega last night and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me…darn….could be a home owner today…wish me luck…

Well…damn, another 5 am morning and I am just worn out…and I didn’t sleep much and that doesn’t help, either…..but, my heel is better…good enough so I can walk on it again but it still throbs which is really weird but I can live with that….I am still re-training myself how to walk on it again since it’s been so long that I’ve had to walk on the front of my foot that it’s become a habit and I find myself doing it even when the pain is not there..didn’t eat much yesterday since I only did a short ride…think I only had about 700 calories all day and I know that’s not enough but I just don’t feel like eating right now…I do have a house in Hastings I need to go take a look at today and need to be there by 10 so that is going to be a lot of work with how I feel right now….but I can relax when I get back here before noon….spent most of the day yesterday trying to get my car started and looking for houses so I didn’t get any work done…need to pack today and get some cleaning done but we’ll see how that goes later….don’t feel like doing anything right now but have coffee and read the news…more later….

Well…finally, got the car started after putting my trickle charger on the battery for 3 hours and letting my battery box charge for the same time…so, I got my errands run today and can go out to Hastings tomorrow to look at some houses….and I did buy a new battery charger but not from HF…got one from Amazon that does basically everything…it’s a regular charger, a float charger, a 40 amp car starter, a battery conditioner, and an alternator checker…and it can be used on AGM batteries and it was only 5 bucks more than a normal charger at HF…only 45 bucks so I don’t think that is a bad deal…and I needed one anyway…the day has gotten better…and I got my 900 million dollar Mega tickets for tomorrow…now I need a nap after a 4 hour of sleep night before soccer starts…

Well…crap…when I went out to the garage to get in the car for errands this morning, the trunk was open and that means I forgot to disconnect the battery when I used it Tuesday….so, the battery was dead and I hadn’t charged my battery box so it wouldn’t start the car…and I don’t have jumper cables or anyone to jump it to get it started…so, my whole day has been a pain…if I ever get it started, I’m going out to HF and buy a battery charger…which I should have done when I moved in here…the only reason I bought the box was living in an apartment, there is no electricity to run a charger outside…so, here I sit waiting and hoping that my battery box will charge up enough to start it one more time…can get a 15 amp charger for 39 bucks so that’s not a bad deal…..still…crap…

Well…damn, up at 4:54 after getting to bed a little late last night so I feel pretty worn out today…my heel is making real progress but it still throbs as I sit here…no pain but I can feel my heartbeat in it and that is a little weird….didn’t get on the bike yesterday for the second day in a row since the temp never got out of the 20’s and that is just too darn cold…but it is 34 right now so I will be getting out after I run an errand this morning….and I do need to run down to Hastings to take a quick look at a house…running out of time so I need to just buy anything so I can get out of here…there are a couple of others in Hastings, too so I need to dig out the listings and make a plan…didn’t do anything but watch the news and soccer yesterday and enjoy the fact that idiot boy is gone…and Man U won which puts them in first place in the PL and it has been a long time since that has happened…so, all in all, a good day but I need to get stuff done around here….need to get packed up and start looking for apartments in case I can’t find a house…but, right now I need more coffee and to read the news before I get going….more later….

Well…I am just so relieved that trump is finally, finally gone….I wonder if there are going to be other physical effects from today? Have been watching the news since around 9 this morning and I am getting to the end of news for the day…one thing I did do was follow Joe on twitter… and that is something I would never, ever do with idiot boy….just going to let this day soak in a bit and get ready for Man U to play in a little while….so this is going to be the last one for the day…I think….just going to let the peace flow over me and enjoy it for a while….

Well…running late this morning and I just can’t get started….for some reason my eyes are so dry they hurt today and that is weird..but, my heel is feeling better from the start today and I hope that means that it will be pain free later in the day…not big pain but I think I’m going to have to learn how to walk on that foot again since I’m still limping when I don’t need to….I think I’m going to have to put some eye drops in this morning it is so annoying and I wonder why that is…it’s sure not normal…I think I slept okay but I sure don’t feel like it right now…I did get my gas bill yesterday and it is the highest it’s ever been with how cold it’s been…127 bucks and I hope it doesn’t get higher….didn’t get a damn thing done yesterday and today is going to be the same with the inauguration happening at noon and then Man U playing this afternoon….I should clean today but my motivation level is so low right now it’s hard to even pick up my coffee cup but we’ll see how it goes in a few minutes….I wonder if I can take a day off to just enjoy what’s happening? I guess we’ll see since the Wings are on and I don’t want to move right now….more later…

Well…man, I feel like crap this morning and I think it’s from the stress from having to move…I did sleep all the way til 6:37 and had some really weird dreams late that had a gas station, my Fiat, sheep, and gamblers in it that was strange….and it had the same theme of not being able to find my car that I have quite a bit and that’s not pleasant…one good thing is that my heel has finally started to show improvement and I can walk a little better…it still hurts but it’s not the searing pain that kept me from putting any weight on it for weeks….and it’s usually worst in the morning so maybe I can go painless later in the day….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but the bike ride and I’m not sure of riding in the muck is good for me or the bike….have had to wash it down the past two days after the grit got in the idler sprockets on the shifter and started to make lots of noise and screw the shifting up…but I don’t think I’m going to ride today with the high temp of only 27 and that’s too cold for me…and I need to do the grocery run this morning…might go out to Hastings to look at a house but we’ll see….more later…

Well…not sure what is going on but I used to jump out of bed when I heard and smelled the coffee maker working and got on with my day…but lately, I just roll over and try to go back to sleep…and that worked this morning and didn’t get out of bed until 7:25 and that’s why I’m running so late today…I think I slept okay but don’t feel like it right now…just have no energy and still feel like I have a cold and it’s been about a week and I am tired of it…I did get a bike ride in yesterday but it was a short one…I am going to go back out and check the trails this morning with the rain yesterday…I do need to get more miles in since I’m gaining weight like crazy even with not eating much….spent most of the day yesterday trying new searches on zillow trying to find a house and that is really depressing since I didn’t find anything….looks pretty likely that I’m going to have to rent somewhere and that is depressing, too…oh, well…not much to do today….need to keep up packing for the move and get a ride in but that is about it…too depressed to do much else but I’ll get over that….more later…

Well…running about on time for a Sunday this morning…got up at 6 and I’m finally getting myself moving after going out for the paper and having my first cup of coffee…coming back I discovered a package on my front porch that my daughter sent me…a new facemask and a couple of Under Armour hoodies that were too small for her husband but they look like they’ll fit me fine…first new clothes I’ve gotten in the past 3 years or so and they will come in handy in the spring when it warms up some and I go to a lighter thermasuit on the bike….slept okay last night but the string of no dream nights continues and that is a little disappointing…my heel appears to be getting better in small steps since I could put some weight on it when I got up today…still hurts but not nearly as much as it did so there is a little hope that it will continue to heal…I did go out to take a look at the trails yesterday and got about a mile before I decided to turn around and go back to the streets…just too icy and that makes the ride uncomfortable and I don’t want to have to work that hard….but I did get almost 10 miles in so that felt good….the work I did on the car to free up the parking brake worked and it released just fine today…and the front tire has held air since I worked on it Thursday so I guess it was just the valve that was stuck…not much to do today…need to look for houses all day along with watching Man U play at 11:30…don’t need to cook since I have leftovers that need to be used….more later….
