Well…running a little early today with getting up at 5:30….and that means I am pretty darn tired today and the tossing and turning all night didn’t help either…the allergies really kicked in yesterday and I was and still am miserable and that may have screwed up my sleep, too…had an okay day yesterday but no pool and that wasn’t a bad thing….had no energy yesterday and I’m not sure why that was but I can guess the usual suspect…but I don’t want to talk about that right now…I did get out to change my car insurance and saved a bunch of money but it took a lot of cash to pay for the whole year…but I won’t have to think about it again until next year so that is cool…I do need to get out in the next two days to find a doctor and get the health checks set up and then find a house to buy…still waiting for my life insurance to come to use for the down payment but that should happen this week….not much to do today…I do need to clean some after I get the doctor thing done but that is about it….more later…

Well…forgot to make the coffee last night and it’s a pain having to do it in the morning…but I need it so I guess it’s not too much work…slept okay last night but still feel a little slow today so I am going to ease into it and let the coffee work for a while…I did get a good bike ride in yesterday and need to get out soon to beat the rain…it looks like we are finally going to get some storms tonight and I’m looking forward to that…this summer has been a bust..can’t remember the last time we’ve had a storm around here…didn’t get a lot done around here yesterday and probably won’t today…I do have to go out and get my new insurance paid for and get it started this morning and then pool this aft so I won’t have time to do much else…I did get out to have a couple with K yesterday and it was nice to get out for a while…and then talked to C by text last night so I guess I covered everyone….more later….

Well…trying to get moving this morning so I can get out on the bike before the fog is gone…it is too cool to ride when you can see the clouds moving in front of you….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning and that is even with only one cup of coffee so far…but, I do need to have at least one more before I go…it did rain some last night and it was about time…it has been so dry around here that the poplars are turning yellow already and that is not supposed to start for another month or so….okay, need more coffee….I’m back and I am wondering when we will get a break from the humidity…everything feels damp and I’m already sweating just sitting here doing this….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same with soccer on and the indy car race on later…so there will be some napping today…I hope….more later….

Well….politics with trump involved has gotten so tiresome that I am not going to write about it today….instead, I want to talk a little bit about trail stuff…haven’t written much about that lately since there really hasn’t been much going on that would be interesting…but today, there was a sad thing that I wanted to relate…heading up to the last water stop at the park this morning, I looked a little farther south along Eastern before I turned up the trail to the park and saw lump of something lying in the road…but it was almost 100 yards away so I just caught a little bit of the color…there are very few animals in the wild that are red and that meant it was probably a red fox that had been hit by a car…after I finished the ride, I had some errands to run and needed some tomatoes, and that led me right past where I had seen the red animal earlier…and it was a red fox that had been killed by a car….now, I know there are many more foxes in the wild around here than there ever were since I moved out here in 1980….and I have seen a half dozen of them in the past few years, but it is still a shock to see one lying in the road dead…just a little sadness temper an otherwise okay day….

Well…running about on time today…or a little bit late now that I looked at the time…slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning with just pouring the first cup of coffee and only having one sip so far…it is nice having soccer to wake up to but I don’t know any of the newly promoted teams so that will take some time to get up to speed on them…still think I am not eating enough with just two bowls of chili and half a chicken breast yesterday but we’ll see when I get out on the bike in a few….thought the same thing yesterday but the bike ride was okay and my legs had energy throughout the ride…but there normally is a lag between not eating and the legs being flat so today may be telling….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do need to vacuum and clean the kitchen a little today…I may need to cook, too, but I do have leftovers that I can use if I don’t feel like it….more later…

Well….feeling kind of lousy this morning and I’m pretty sure it’s from not eating enough yesterday….I guess half a chicken breast for lunch and then a sandwich for dinner is not enough to support my activity….slept okay last night, I think, but was up and down all night again and that is getting annoying….I would love just one night of good sleep like I remember when I was younger….I did get good news with the car insurance yesterday and I just need to go out and sign the papers Monday….640 bucks for a year is not too bad and is 500 less than my old policy….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I am going to make some chili today…after the coffee and bike ride….it looks like there may be a little rain coming in so I’ll have to check the radar to see how much is expected….I did splurge on a new bike bag with the good news on the car insurance…the old one has a bunch of wear holes in it and it is looking pretty shabby…more later…

Well…running a little late today and had a little problem getting the computer to start….seems to be okay now, though, so I guess I’ll just ignore it…slept okay last night but got up late today which put me late for groceries and for coffee which needs to work soon or it will put me late for the bike ride….I know, I don’t have anywhere to be so how can I be late for anything? I did have a nice lunch with T yesterday and that is always fun….I am a little worried about her and her health problems so I’ll keep her in my thoughts today and every day…didn’t do a whole lot more yesterday but lunch but will have to do more today…I am looking forward to the final Sharknado Sunday night…such a stupid movie series but it still makes me laugh some so I’ll be watching it with cocktails….I am going to clean some today and cook, too, but not until later so I’m going to get another cup of coffee and read some news…more later…

Well…running really late today…just can’t get started and feel a little crappy this morning so I guess I’ll ease into it and let the coffee work it’s magic….slept okay last night but still feel tired right now and I’m not sure if I’ll work out today….just want to go back to bed but I know I won’t….I did get out to have a couple with G last night and it went okay…had some reservations about that….I did get some quotes for car insurance out yesterday and should get them back today…it’s crappy that turning 65 costs you extra money….but, I guess I’ll just pay it and move on….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will probably be the same with having lunch with T….I do need to brine some chicken that I have thawing to cook tomorrow….okay, just not feeling this right now so I am going to end here and have more coffee…more later….

Well…up early and pretty sore this morning…slept wrong on my right shoulder and it hurts like crazy…hope that will work out after I get on the bike…might be a little hard to do the workout but we’ll see in a few minutes….had a nice day yesterday…and I won at pool but the drive out and back was a pain with more and more road work being done….and I’ll have to wash it to get all the dust off it from the fresh gravel….I wonder when they are going to re-stripe the lot here? Hmmmm….I do have to try to find car insurance today since my current company jacked my rates way up and there has to be a better deal out there…and I need to find a doctor this week, too, so it will be a busy week….and, I may have lunch with T today or tomorrow if she’s feeling up to it….more later….

Well…running late this morning…have been up for quite a while but just feel a little foggy that isn’t going away…it’s another one of those days when it would be easy to go back to bed but I won’t…have things to do and will get started on them here in a few minutes….slept okay last night and I wonder if my dreams are gone forever….haven’t had any in quite a while and that might be why I’m so damn tired every morning…I did get out to get some cheap bacon yesterday and  charged the battery up on the car doing it…but the bacon looks like someone just took a handful and threw it into the packaging…not like the orderly slices that you normally get…it still tastes good so I guess it’s something to just be amused about….didn’t get anything else done yesterday and it looks the same today….just have no motivation so I think I’ll just drink more coffee and sit here for a while….more later…
