Well….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but the grocery run and today looks the same…supposed to have lunch with T but I’m not sure if that is going to happen….I think the dosage change on my allergy meds is working at night and I have been able to breathe and sleep so that is a good thing….but, I still feel a little crappy today with the cough still here but I’m sure it’s not a cold since I don’t feel bad enough for that….hmmmm…..I have been looking forward to the mini thaw that is happening…it is already 36 outside right now so there will be some melt today…so, the plan to wash the car tomorrow will work and I will have quarters to play pool…..man…even I am bored with this right now so I think I’ll quit here and go get some coffee…more later….

Well…not sure why I mark this day…it’s only significance is that today has the shortest amount of daylight of any day in the northern hemisphere…it’s not the mid point of winter…we still have the rest of December, then January and February to endure so winter has just gotten started here…and this year, it has started really harshly…the snow piles are now so large that I can’t see over them in the Miata…and that makes for some interesting driving these days….maybe some it will melt over the next week…it’s supposed to be almost 50 on Monday and with rain so that might help…and no really cold weather again until late next week…..I do need to wash the car Friday to get quarters for pool but I’m waiting til then so some of the salt will be off the roads…anyway…happy winter solstice….

Well….running a little early today and I’m not sure why….did the grocery run today instead of Thursday since I had the cash and I don’t want to be in the stores after today….have enough of everything to get through til Monday so it looks like I’ll be hunkering down after pool Friday…the weather has changed for the better and it is already quite nice outside….hoping for a big melt so I can wash the car and get some quarters for pool…feel really good this morning for some reason and there is no soreness anywhere so I am confused…have taken to taking the proper dosage of my allergy medicine (which is twice what I normally take) and that has really cleared me up at night so I think I have been sleeping better since I can breathe….I have decided I am going to make both the pork roasts Saturday but I am going to marinate one of them and not the other just to see the difference…for 4 bucks each it should be a fun experiment…going to clean and get some other work done around here today….not much else to do…more later….

Well…it has been a busy day today with getting my hair cut and running errands all day…well..all morning, anyway, and I got everything done I wanted to do this week so the rest of it will be left to cleaning…I did get two pork sirloin roasts from that weird little grocery store this morning…and at 4 bucks each, that’s a pretty good deal…will probably have one Saturday and then see if I want to freeze the other one….maybe for New Year’s day dinner? Going to try some new marinade that is going to include veggie broth, garlic, rosemary, and bay leaves but I need an acid to go with it so I may put in some soy, too…then, I’m going to make a crust of kosher salt, chopped garlic, olive oil and rosemary for roasting it….should be pretty good…I did get 4 new t-shirts this morning, too, since using them and getting them soaked with sweat has eaten away the older ones….kind of like acid…they don’t even last two years when I use them for riding….oh, well….I like how these fit better than the last ones so that is a good thing…more later…and no, still no topics that I want to write about…might take a while…..

Well…running a little early today since I was good last night and got up early…feel pretty good this morning but still have that pain in my back that is becoming annoying…I did make enough cash yesterday to get groceries this week and I am going to get my hair cut this morning since I am looking shabby and need to clean it up a little…have more errands to run again this morning and that will happen after the haircut…until then, I still do need coffee even though I feel pretty good….it looks like a little warm up over the next few days and that will be welcome…haven’t washed the car since it started snowing and it needs to be done…and I need quarters to shoot pool Friday….after the errands, don’t have much to do for the rest of the day other than clean and a few other little things around here…have to start figuring out meals for the rest of the week….don’t think I’m going to make anything special for christmas…will probably do the pork roast Saturday and then just have leftovers Sunday….do need to get some spicy mustard for sandwiches…more later….

Well…I know I’ve been off topic a lot the past few weeks but I am still depressed about the election and just can’t seem to accept the hellscape that Trump and his cronies are going to turn this country into….but, that’s for another time….right now, I just need to try to keep pace and not fall too far behind for the month…could talk about movies or tv shows and I think I will later…but right now, I am just going to noodle a little to make sure I don’t lose the ability to write…some might say I never had the ability to write and there are days that I may agree with that but not today….with not being able to get going this morning, everything was just a step behind but I did get out and run an errand…made a little cash and then went out to buy a new pair of gloves for cheap…they are really kind of strange since the have something in the leather that allows me to swipe the screen on my phone without taking them off…just needed a new lightweight pair that I could use driving the car since my last pair just wore out….not sure how much I like them but didn’t pay much so I can live with them…especially with how cold it has been..just not used to that yet…more later….

Well…running late today and just can’t get started….I think it’s from not eating enough and the damn cold I have…and it might be that I’m depressed from the unrelenting cold and snowy weather….and not being able to get on the bike….might have to just hunker down for a while until I get used to it….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but didn’t need to so I guess that’s a wash…I do need to clean a little today but that will have to wait until the motor gets running…I do have an errand to run this morning and I am not looking forward to it…but, it will mean a little cash so that will help…I am sore everywhere again and I am not sure what that is about…must be sleeping wrong again…it is bad enough to take some ibuprofen so I think I’ll do that right now…more later….

Well….feeling pretty crappy this morning and I think I have another damn cold…back to coughing and feeling slow so I think today will be a take it easy day…I did get out and have a couple with K last night and that was fun but it started my night too early and that might be part of why I don’t feel that hot today…oh, and a second day of only one meal is part of it, too….today will have to be different or I will just get worse….I really should get some stuff done around here today but it is looking like the couch may win…at least this morning since the coffee is not working…need to get back to soccer and get another cup so I am going to end here…more later….

Well….man, I’m exhausted this morning and the only thing it could be is way too few calories yesterday….trying to make up for not riding the bike and I think I went overboard….will need to fix that today….I did win at pool yesterday but it was close…and it was fun but I didn’t like the new bartender….it snowed more last night night and that is depressing…at least it wasn’t the 8 inches they were predicting earlier in the evening…I will still have to clean off the car sometime today but that can wait for later…I do have some work to do around here today along with cleaning but, feeling like I do, that is going to wait, too…..need to get to the coffee earlier in the morning….and I do need to come back for three of these today but my brain is not working well enough to come up with a topic….more later

Well…I think this cold is starting to wear me out already….had to warm the car up to go get groceries this morning and then before I ran errands later in the morning….and the car still didn’t get really warm until I had quite a few miles on it….and it is even cold in here today with the wind blowing  as hard as it is…it was a pain in the butt yesterday when they had the water shut off here from 9 in the morning until almost 4…when it was supposed to be done by 2…so, I was a little irritated…but, not too much….Man U won in the last few minutes of the match yesterday after I had turned it off with disgust…they dominated the match and then let CP back in it after they played that stupid strategy of trying to protect a one goal lead…oh, well….oh, and I bought a new pair of jeans today for the first time in more than 10 years….the old ones were just looking too shabby and that made me look too shabby….I’m better now…..
