February 11th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done so that was cool…slept okay and had some really weird dreams that included cell phones, and me playing for the Wings but street hockey…pretty cool having a great dream for a change….and I feel okay this morning so that starts it out good…already have the grocery run done but spent too much money to get nothing…had to re supply all my cleaning supplies and that is not cheap….I did hear from T this morning for the first time in a while and that made me smile…her week has been extra crazy and I didn’t expect to hear from her so that was a pleasant surprise….my back hurt like crazy doing the groceries but that was expected…at least nothing else hurts and I’m not coughing…not much to do today…going to make chili and clean some but that is about it…it was nice to have the car start with no problem with it being only 12 degrees outside…takes a load off….more later….

Funny taxes…

Well…just finished up doing my taxes and I am still laughing at the absurdity of it….my taxable income this year was $271 dollars…yep, you saw that right…after my exemption and standard deduction my taxable was the lowest it been since I was in my teens…and I only paid $21 dollars in tax on that amount….just damn funny that I only owed that for the year….but, I don’t feel bad…there were years that I paid more than 20K in taxes…and I didn’t mind even paying that since I used to make a lot of cash….

February 10th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…slept okay and feel pretty good this morning with being good for the third day in a row so maybe I’ll have to keep that up…I think my back has plateaued with some pain that I may have to live with and I’m not happy about that….but, I’m not coughing too much anymore so I’ll take what I can get…I did get my printer working again yesterday and got my fed forms printed out so I can get that in today…and that will pay my car insurance but not much more since I took out less from my IRA than last year…a good and bad thing….I did want to get a new laptop but there is not enough money coming back to to that…oh,well….not much to do today…need to get the taxes done and then I need to work on the leaning tower of papers to get them recycled today but that is about it….more later….

February 9th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I felt like crap so I didn’t get much done….slept okay and feel better today so I hope that continues since I have some stuff to get done today….the bike ride was torture with no energy in the legs and I know it was from not eating enough…not sure if I rectified that yesterday or not but we’ll see when I get out on the bike today….and I was good last night so maybe that will help….and I will be good the rest of the week since I need some time off….my back seems to be better today but it was still crazy yesterday…no pain at all when I got up but the twinges are coming back as I sit here and do this….but it seems a little better so I’ll take it….not much to do today…I do need to start pulling the tax stuff together so I can get them in this week but that is about it…I do have some normal stuff to do around here but that may wait a couple of days….more later…

February 8th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that is cool…even got out for a while to have a couple with K and that was fun….but I feel like crap today and I am running late because of it….one good thing is my back doesn’t hurt and I’m not sure why…but I’ll take it….slept okay but not well if you can understand that….just can’t get started this morning and I think I’ll just have to write this day off and lick the wounds….back to coughing again and I am just so tired of it….I was hoping that it would be over but no such luck….I do have some stuff to do today but I’m not sure if I’ll do it or not….just want more coffee and more couch for a while…I will get out on the bike today once it warms up some but that will be a while…need to work out first and feel better…more later…

February 7th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….slept okay and don’t feel too bad today with the bug finally starting to clear but I am still coughing and that has gone on for a couple of weeks now and it is still irritating…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I didn’t need to so I guess that works out…and today looks much the same but I am going to get a bike ride in and wash the car before the Man U game this morning…I am going to watch the super bowl later today but that will be about it for sports….I am a little curious about the commercials this year and it might even be an okay game and I guess I wouldn’t be a good Ameruuurican if I don’t watch it…I am more excited about soccer since Man U has Chelsea this morning and I hope they come to play today…if they lose, I hope Van Gaal is gone….not much to do today…bike ride then work until 11 when the match starts but that is about it…and two more of these today since there have been a few things happen that I want to comment on….more later…..

February 6th

Well…it was a long, long day yesterday and I am feeling it right now…it started out with pool with Tom at 2:30 and I didn’t get back here after drinks with G until after 7….then cocktails here and that was just not a good idea….went to bed early since I can’t take the pace anymore…slept okay but still feel like crap today so, after the errand I have to run later, I will be doing a total veg today….I think I’ll start that right now with watching some EPL soccer and finishing my coffee….not much to do today…going to just lick the wounds for now but I may take a bike ride later…have to look at the trails to see how they are when I get out later…..more later…

February 5th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday…I wonder if I should change that up? It was a non descript day yesterday…just like the rest of them….nope…don’t like that….slept okay last night but the Wings lost again so that was not cool….I am still sore everywhere but the good thing is that the ibuprofen works to help that and I only needed to take one so I guess I shouldn’t complain too much…it is annoying, though, and for the first time I am starting to think I’m old…and maybe that’s how I’m going to feel from now on….didn’t get a thing done yesterday and today looks the same with a pretty busy schedule of errands, pool, and then out after pool…I’m going to need a rest tonight for sure…..and then tomorrow I have more to do but I can use the cash…..not much to do today….that’s not true…I will be running starting at 10 and going the rest of the day….it is going to feel good getting home tonight….more later….

Februaruy 4th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I spent the day sore and coughing…and now my tooth has even gotten back in the act and it hasn’t hurt in months….even my neck and shoulders are sore so now I’m hoping it’s not the flu…it could be getting back on the bike but I feel pretty crappy this morning so that can’t be it…and I was good for the past three days so that shouldn’t be it either….slept what is normal for me which is crappy and I am just exhausted this morning…I did get the grocery run done this morning but forgot a bunch of stuff so I may have to go back sat morning….and I have been skipping that the past few weeks and would like that to continue….all I know is that I feel like there is something coming on so I guess I’ll take some ibuprofen this morning and see if that helps…not much to do today…going to lay low and see how I feel but that is about it…more later….

February 3rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…had a really nice lunch with T that still has me smiling…it is nice to have a conversation that doesn’t have any land mines in it…slept okay and feel okay today since I was good last night…and the car didn’t leak a bit even with all the rain last night…must have been an inch of rain and I can’t wait to see the flooding out on the bike ride that I am going to take today…..it’s warm enough to go out by 9 so that is my plan so far…do need to work out first to keep up the fitness plan and not feel like a slug….I am going to listen to SD for the first time since I heard Donald got arrested and I’m not sure how long that is going to last….not much to do today….pool, maybe, but that is about it…..should do some cleaning but I’d rather ride the bike….more later….
