Well…have just been feeling off the past couple of weeks and I’m not sure what is going on….I know part of it is being broke and having some big decisions to make over the next month or so but there have been little things that are happening that just keep highlighting the precarious position that I find myself in…like today, the damn bike shifted down to the center front sprocket and wouldn’t shift back up and I had to figure that one out…and it just pointed out that the bike is just about done and I can’t afford to buy another one….that is the one thing that that keeps me sane and I just can’t have it go away right now….and I should be having a drink right now but I can’t since I have to show some discipline and think about my liver….and that’s a pain, too…I’m tired of thinking of stuff like that…I guess I’m just basically tired….oh, well….tomorrow will be better…or it won’t…who knows?

Well…wasted another day yesterday and I’m not sure why…okay…I did get dishes and laundry done so I guess it wasn’t totally wasted….and I did a long bike ride so I guess that counts, too….my back was okay until I got back from the bike ride but then it hurt the rest of the day and that was pretty annoying….it was pretty warm yesterday but I kept the air off and I am going to try to do that again today….still haven’t gotten the electric bill down where I need it…only down 80 bucks and i need it to get down 100….not much to do today….just can’t get started so I think I’ll just ease into the day…more later….

Well…running a little late today…just can’t get started and I think my internet has the same disease….it has been pretty iffy all morning…trying to watch the moto gp race and it wouldn’t start….and my website has been slow, too….oh, well….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will probably be the same but I do have to do my kitchen…I think I said that yesterday, too….my back has flared again this morning and it hurts like crazy….won’t keep me off the bike but it will hurt…going to take something for it in a minute…didn’t win the powerball last night but someone in Cali did…so I think I’ll be depressed for the next couple of days….I do need more coffee so I think I’ll do that and watch the race…more later….

Well….trying to get started early today since the boredom has started early, too….waiting for the coffee to finish and I really need that this morning….oh, I did win at pool….and it was a nice ride out and back but I got a little burned even with sunscreen on…might have to buy some new stuff since the bottle I’m using is a couple of years old….not too sore today so I think the bike ride should be a good one…and I can get out as soon as I want with the temp already over 60…..didn’t get anything done yesterday but I do have to do the kitchen and cook today since I am out of leftovers and have some fresh green beans I want to cook…and a pork loin….and I do need some calories today with being under a couple of days….more later….

Well…running early today and I’m not sure why…slept okay last night and even had a few dreams that I don’t remember…and they were the first in a long time…darn….it wasn’t a bad day yesterday and today will be okay, too with having lunch with T and then out for pool…there will be a gap between them so I think I’ll just take a little drive and enjoy a top down cruise for a while….if it’s not raining…I do need to wash the car this morning since the pollen on it is quite thick….not going to do a lot else today…just the normal Friday stuff…will have to clean tomorrow and Sunday but that’s okay…there’s a heat wave coming and I will be able to run the air with no guilt….more later….

Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run and then reading a real newspaper….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but trying to stay in shape and the bike ride was a good one….I am going to try some ibuprofen this morning since I can feel the pain in my forearms this morning….but still no back pain and I am still confused about that…it should be hurting…guess I shouldn’t bitch too much….I didn’t win the powerball last night but no one else did either so it is over 400 mill for sat….will have to come up with 6 dollars for that one…but I did win 4 dollars so I guess it’s only 2 dollars that I need….not much to do today…I do need to get on the bike early today since I am going to watch Comey’s testimony at 10…nothing is going to happen so maybe I won’t…just the live commentary on Kos…more later….

Well…had a pleasant surprise today when my oldest brother called to ask me if I wanted buy his mountain bike since he is unable to ride it anymore with a knee replacement he had 18 months ago…if I wasn’t so broke I would have considered it since it is a nice one…and then we talked for about an hour and that was pretty cool…not sure what is going on but I’ve talked to two out of three of my brothers in the last two weeks…and it had been years since I had to talked to them….okay…so it was only one thing…don’t want to pollute this one with talk of politics…I’ll do a separate one on that…

Well….running early today and I think this may be the new normal since I seem to be up by 6 every morning…feel okay today and don’t hurt too much so I’ll take that…my back has been okay for two days now and that is a surprise with how much it has been bugging me lately….I did get some work done yesterday and I had to…the cobwebs were everywhere and that is a creepy feeling when you wake up and walk out of your bedroom and get one across the face…and I cleaned the bike pad and carpet from bike stains so I feel okay about that…need to do more today and the kitchen is the target…but not yest…have just started the coffee and need to have a couple of cups to get me moving…more later….

Well….running a little early today and it’s because I’ve been up since 5:30…another night of crappy sleep and I am feeling it right now….didn’t get a lot done yesterday since I didn’t feel that great most of the day and I’m not sure why…had no energy and a cough but the cough is gone today…so far…so I’m not sure what the heck is happening….maybe not eating enough again? Just don’t feel like it…but I will try to do better today…I am going to get the motivation to clean some today after the workout and bike….but I need more coffee and to work out the kinks first….it’s a bitch being creaky in the mornings….more later…..

Well…just can’t get my brain working to do some political stuff right now so I thought I’d just do another one on some weird trail stuff from earlier in the week…a few days back, while I was riding past one of the retention ponds along M-6 I noticed a pair of muskrats pushing rafts of some kind of vegetation across the pond…not sure why they were doing it but it was strange to see…maybe food? Who knows? At least it took my mind off the idiot in the WH for a few minutes….
