Well….it was pretty much a wasted day yesterday but that won’t be the case today…I have work to do around here today but am having a really hard time getting started…I did get the grocery run in an now I have my first cup of coffee that I need quite badly….I am sore everywhere today and I know part of it is riding the bike….but the other part is sleeping wrong…my neck has been cramped for the past few days and that is getting annoying….I may try to get a bike ride in today but the wind is blowing over 20 already and that would make it pretty brutal….might have to take the day off….and just veg out to get my brain straightened out……and I need to come back to do three more of these today so check back to see if I do….more later….

Well…feeling a little worn out after the busy day yesterday so it looks like a low key one today….really don’t have much to do so that will work out…the bike ride soreness has started to hit today and my thighs are just burning so I think I’ll take something for it in a little bit…going to try to get out today but the temp needs to come up so the ice on the trail will melt….don’t need to fall off the bike and break something….I do need to clean the kitchen floor today so that will be a project for later after the workout….and I just can’t get moving so I don’t know when that will be….have had a pain in my shoulder for two days now and I do need to sleep on the other side so it doesn’t happen…okay…need more coffee and some couch….more later….

Well….have been running most of the day today and can’t remember one where I have been this busy in quite a while…and, I made some cash today, too, so that was cool….had a taste for some new recipes so I had to run out to two grocery stores to get what I needed….made the first omelet in the new pan yesterday but forgot to put cheese in it…so I am going to try it again tonight…and I am making chicken pot pies…without the crust in the next few days…I like to make the filling and put it over noodles…tastes better than any of the factory made ones I have had and it is low calorie and easy…I even did a bunch of work around here that I was trying to avoid but needed to be finished…and I figured out why my compressor stopped working…oh, talked about that earlier……so, it looks like I’m done for the day and am going to watch some rugby…starting to like that sport….I will have some science stuff for tomorrow since I am so far behind for the month….

Well…just got the first cup of coffee from the new coffeemaker and it seems to work okay…still can’t figure out the timer but that will be something I can work on today…it was nice to get out on the bike but my air compressor broke so I have to get a new off/on switch for it…or just buy a new one from Harbor Freight….the switch will probably be more than a new one…slept okay last night but I am sore and I’m not sure if it’s from the bike or not….the legs felt good but the lungs didn’t….might be able to get out again today but with all of the water on the trail, it might be a little iffy….the coffee tastes pretty good so I think I like this coffeemaker….going to make some cash today so I need to get going and get the workout done before that….more later…

Well…it was such a nice day outside today that I had to make up an excuse to put the top down on the car and drive it so I ran some errands to pick up some new equipment…went out to ABC Warehouse to pick up a new coffee maker for only 10 bucks and bought one of those weird non stick pans for another 10…the coffee maker appears it is worth 10 bucks…but it doesn’t need filters so that is cool and will save some money…and, I just used the new pan to make an omelet and it is just as non-stick as advertised…kind of weird to have eggs just slide out of the pan…and it appears to made pretty well with a stainless steel inset in the bottom of it so it can be used on induction ranges, too….certainly worth 10 bucks since all of my pots and pans have plastic handles that can only take about 375 degrees….we’ll see how durable it is over time…..oh, I also got a 10 mile bike ride in today in shorts and with no gloves….that allowed me to have a second meal today…..

Well…it was a slow, easy day yesterday and I heard from all of the kids so that was cool….I did get a little work done around here but no cleaning so that will have to happen today….feel really crappy today and I know I overdid it last night so the coffee will be needed….I found a 20 dollar bill on the floor by my counter yesterday and that was a pleasant surprise…kind of knew one was missing and it was nice to find it….that will buy me my new coffee maker this week and I do need one…I am sore again this morning and I know it’s from sleeping wrong…with the rain, I may be able to ride the bike around the complex later today and that will be a good thing…need some exercise to get back into shape after being off for the past three weeks…and I may be able to get to 3K if I go out today and keep at it….more later…

Well….since I didn’t have a lot to do today, I thought I’d screw around with the remote for my DVD player and see if I could make it work…and, to my surprise, I got about half of it to work…enough so I could play my Steely Dan dvd for the first time in a couple of years…but the thing sounds like it has a rod knock so I guess I’ll have to replace it..and, here’s the thing…to get a replacement remote would cost about 30 bucks and I see that ABC warehouse has an entire player on sale for $17 bucks…and a coffee maker for $12.99 so it looks like I may be making a trip out this week to spend 30 bucks for both….can’t pass that up….

Well….I think I’m in the 15th year of not celebrating christmas and it feels pretty good to not have anything to do today but a little work around here…I am doing one of the traditions still, though…A Christmas Story is on and I have to watch it at least once in the 24 hours it’s on…didn’t do a lot yesterday but cook and today will probably be the same without the cooking….don’t have a lot to do so I won’t do it….I am running late today and the reason escapes me…was up early enough but just idling and can’t really get started…..I may even be able to get out on the bike in the lot here tomorrow since it is going to be around 50…will put the top down on the car, too since I do need my December top down time….I am looking forward to the all day soccer marathon tomorrow and the Doctor Who christmas special that is on tonight…that will give me something to look forward to…more later…

Well…I just noticed that I only have 19 more of these to do to get to 5K since I started this thing…that’s a lot….had a nice day yesterday but I lost at pool…finally…and Tom baked the best banana bread I think I’ve ever had….going to have more of it in a minute with my coffee….didn’t sleep as well last night as I have lately and that is a little confusing…so, that leaves me a little worn out this morning but I don’t have much to do so that is okay…no soccer this morning and that is a little irritating…I like to start my Saturdays on the couch with a match but I guess doctor who will have to do….I am going to cook my big meal for the holiday today and I am curious how the experiment is going to come out….with one roast marinated and the other just rubbed…whatever happens, I am going to have some nice pork sirloin with mashed potatoes and gravy for lunch….don’t have a lot to do today but clean so I really don’t have to start yet…just need more coffee…more later….

Well…had a pretty good day yesterday and made some cash so that was cool….had a nice lunch with T and we laughed a bunch which made me feel a lot better….but, the rest of the day was just a waste and I didn’t get anything done…not that I had to but one of these days I’d like to get something done….feel a little crappy this morning but I know why and I did it to myself so I shouldn’t complain too much…I have really busy morning this morning so I should get at it…need to wash the car and then run a bunch of errands and I may even make more cash today but, I need coffee first….don’t want to be in the stores tomorrow so I need to get that done today….it is weird waiting for it to get light enough to go wash the car but I guess that gives me time to have some coffee….more later….
