Well….it was an okay day yesterday with getting the new phone and getting my life moving again…slept okay but no dreams again and that is normal, really….the rest of the day was spent getting back into the routine of working out and the bike ride…hate doing it so late in the day when there is traffic so crossing the street is kind of dicey….and it was cold with it being only 55 degrees but I guess I have to get used to that, too…not much to do today….may have lunch with T before pool but that is kind of iffy at this point….other than that, not much to do today….grocery run…darn…just remembered that, need to get going and get that done….more later….

Well…just wanted to do a quick update on the phone trials I have been having for the past few days…got the new one less than 24 hours after I put the order in and that was pretty cool…and the new one has the latest software which is  a little different but okay…and all of the switches and the screen works like it’s supposed to for the first time in a year….we’ll see how long this one works…I did change my plan, too that will save me over 40 bucks a month so that is cool, too more later…

Well…it was a really crappy day yesterday…my phone died and I spent the entire day trying to get it fixed…a  new one is supposed to be here today…and it is on the Fedex truck…but with how the phone is the primary way I connect today, it has been a royal pain in the butt…I did manage to get my contact list and photos downloaded from the old one so all I have to do is get my apps reloaded when it gets here…slept like crap with being good an no sleeping pills so I am tired today…don’t think I slept more than 3 hours total all night…and it is cold outside…but, the biggest pain is that I have to sit here and wait for the truck to get here….they won’t leave the phone without a signature…so, the rest of the day will be waiting…more later…

Well…not running as late today but I’m not sure why…my routine is always the same so I should be here at the same time every morning but that never works out….slept crappy…and no comment…but there were some dreams that were not satisfying at all….I did get some stuff accomplished around here so that was something…but, not enough, so I need to get more done today….it looks like the bike ride will be between the raindrops today if I go out at all but the radar has rain and storms backed up all the way through Illinois so I may just take the day off…not much to do today…still feeling crappy so I think I’ll kind of take it easy unless a surge of energy hits and I get some ambition…more later….

Well…I am starting to have hope that my hands and feet are getting better…I have stopped itching all over so that is a good thing…but, that’s not what this is about…after I replaced the rear shock on the bike, I was having problems getting comfortable on it…something had changed and I was just not able to figure it out…it got to the point that I was thinking I was just getting bored with it…but, after I replaced the new shock after it failed with the old one…the bike feels good again and there is no squirming around in the seat trying to get comfortable…and I think I figured it out that the old shock has a different ride height than the new one which puts me more over the pedals than behind them and gives me a more direct pedal stroke….all I know is that today’s ride felt good and the bike feels more solid that it has in a while….it’s funny how an inch of change can have such a huge effect…

Well…running late again this morning and this time it’s because I feel like crap…pretty sure it is a bug since I feel like I have a bad cold with fever and coughing now…not sure how it ties into the sensitivity in my hands and feet but the hands seem to be getting better so that’s a plus…slept crappy…nope, not going to talk about that….the Lions won last night but I’m not sure if it was that they played well or if the Giants just stunk but a win is a win….not much to do today…don’t have a lot of energy so it’s going to be a low key one today with just getting some stuff done around here…more later…

Well…have been feeling a little pensive on the bike lately and had some thoughts about the trail that I thought I’d talk about for a minute….one of the weird things I saw today was a frog jumping onto the sidewalk from 60th street today…and I wondered “where the heck was he coming from?” Across 5 lanes to get to my side of the street? What immediately came to mind was the old video game Frogger where you had to get the frog across traffic or get him squished. Yep, my head goes weird places sometimes…the second thing is the proliferation of wooly bear caterpillars…so many of them that I now have to try to miss them…but what I wondered was why they are crossing the trail at all? Especially when I saw two of them going in opposite directions today crossing in the middle…what are they heading for? Just a thought that I’d put down before I forgot it….

Well…running late this morning and I didn’t get back for a second one yesterday so I guess that means I need to get it in gear today…slept crappy again last night so I’m back to that again….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…so that means that I’ll have to today…along with the normal stuff…still have the burning on my hands and feet and it is starting to concern me but I can’t afford a trip to the doctor so I guess I’ll just live with it…or die with it…whatever happens…not much to do today…going to try to get some work done around here and then get ready for the Lions game later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…still not sleeping that hot but I’m not going to bitch about it….both Michigan and State looked like crap yesterday and I am about done with them for the year…when does hockey start? Still having the problems with my hands and feet but they seem to be getting a little better…we’ll see after the bike ride this morning…not much to do today…going to clean some and then just veg a little….but now, back to the F1 race…more later….

Well….with the topics not coming too easily over the past few weeks, I thought I’d try to not get further behind and just put down whatever comes to mind…the new shock on the bike failed completely today with a godawful squeak so I had to put the old one back on until I can find a new one…at least it doesn’t squeak….and it makes the ride height where it’s supposed to be so I won’t drag the pedals in the corners anymore…it has been a slow, lazy day today as I recover from the problems with my hands and feet…they may be getting better…at least I hope they are….it is so nice to have the weather change to low humidity and cooler temps…everything in here was wet and I was getting really tired of it….now it’s just wait time until the games come on later…have to run out to meet up with someone later but I need to get home before 6:30 for the State game…more later…
