Well…here it is the 2nd and I’m already behind for the year…just couldn’t get motivated to come back yesterday…part of it was that they released a bunch of “Dexter” that I haven’t seen yet on Netflix so I watched that…oh, and the Wings game and the State game so it was busier than I expected…slept okay last night but I think there is another bug hitting me since I was so warm last night…hope not…when I took the rent check up to the office yesterday I forgot to clean the snow off the air intake and it was snowing inside the car made a pretty big mess but that cleared up this morning….it was pretty cool that State won yesterday…hmmm…nope…going to use that for another one later….not much to do today…might meet up with T to see her before she heads out to the Bahamas but that is about it…I do need to do some laundry so that will be something anyway…more later…

Well…here we go again…another year starts and I do want to use a Pink Floyd quote…”…the sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older…shorter of breath, and one day closer to death…” okay, I know…a little bit of a downer to start another year of these but it’s how I feel some times…not sure if that is the theme for today, though,…slept okay last night and it is still neat that the upstairs furnace is quiet…I think the constant noise was adding to my stress level and the peace is doing the opposite…had an okay day yesterday with hockey all day and then just vegging for the night and it looks like more of the same today…the Wings play outdoors and then State is in the Rose bowl so I will have some things to do…other than that, just going to cook and hang out…and do one more of these today…don’t want to get behind….more later…

Well..sitting here waiting for the second alumni game to start and thought I’d get to the last one for the year…most people would do a look back at the year and have some deep, reflective thoughts to share…but, that’s not me at this point..I can sum up this year pretty easily…I turned 60…still unemployed…still healthy…car’s still running good other than the wheel bearing…and, it still makes me smile when I drive it…it’s been an okay year…would like to be working but I am taking the day off from worrying about it to just enjoy a day for the first time in a long time….so, I think I’m going to do that, head for the couch, open the spinach dip, and just watch tv and veg…may be back later for more but don’t count on it….after all, I did over 700 of these this year and you should be getting tired of reading them…if not, that’s pretty cool…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I already updated you about the interview so I won’t do that again here…one good thing that happened was that the furnace in the unit above me stopped making the howling noise that it has been making for the past year…I can even sleep without ear plugs again…and with the constant background noise being gone, my place seem peaceful again….slept okay last night but was up at 5:30 again…not going to complain about that, though, since I really don’t have anything to do today but stuff around here and that means this aft will be a prime nap time while the Wings alumni games are on…I do have the other front wheel bearing going bad…started last night…but I won’t fix that until next month since I want to keep the record of only 20 bucks for an entire year of car repairs….not much to do today…I guess the only thing I really need to do is 2 more of these to make the goal for the year so there is going to be some filler….just being honest…more later…

Well…did the interview this morning and it was a little confusing to say the least…the folks that were doing the interview just sat there like lumps and really didn’t have any pertinent questions to ask…I tried to draw them out with comments that should have steered them to the questions but no luck…and then, at the end of the interview, they basically said that they wanted an engineer with an engineering degree…so, why the heck did they call me and waste my time? Oh, well…it was okay to get out and have an interview for the first time in a long while…and I got to wear my suit and looked good….oh, well…

Well..it was just another boring day yesterday that I spent prepping for the interview this morning…have to be there in an hour and a half so this one is going to be short…slept for crap last night but I expected it so no surprise….the furnace in the unit above has stopped making the howling noise it has been doing for the past year and it is just weird that it is quiet…might even be able to not wear earplugs anymore….other than the interview, not much to do today…going to stop at the grocery store to pick up cocktail materials for the Griffins game outdoor tonight and have some relaxation…more later…

Well….it was another boring day yesterday and I didn’t do much but wash the car and run some errands…didn’t sleep well at all and again, not sure I need to talk about that….I did get to watch a lot of hockey and the start of the Michigan game but didn’t make it very far since the thing didn’t start until almost 10:30….and, what I did see, looked pretty poor…haven’t seen the score yet but I’m sure it was a bad loss…I do need to do some interview prep today but that is going to wait while I get the brain working with coffee and couch….not much to do today…just Lions and prep so it looks like another boring day…it was nice to have some of the snow melt yesterday but the temp has already started to fall with highs in the teens for the early part of the week…I am really tired of the cold and snow and we have 2 1/2 more months to go…more later…

Well…just realized that I fell another one behind yesterday so I do need to do a filler since tomorrow will be taken up by interview prep and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do more than two…I did get the chance to wash the car today and put the top down running some errands which was fun…didn’t get anything else done, though, so that is a little depressing….man, just can’t think of anything to say right now….maybe in a little while…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I lost at pool for the 6th week in a row so that was not good…but okay…slept okay last night but the cocktails last night were a bit much and I feel a little crappy today…okay, maybe I didn’t sleep too well…I am really tired still so I guess it wasn’t as good as I think…didn’t do much after I got back here as you can see so I’ve gone farther behind and need to get it done today….part of the tiredness is the fact that I haven’t gotten the calorie intake right without being on the bike…I think I was under 1,000 cals yesterday and that is not enough…not much to do today..going to do laundry but that is about it…more later…

Well…it was just another normal day yesterday…didn’t do much and slept okay…but now that I sit here and think, I really don’t remember much about the day….didn’t even clean at all and it looks like that won’t happen again today…since it is pool day and I’m just not motivated to start a project this morning…I do need to take some ibuprofen in a couple of minutes since my elbow seems to be getting worse again…and I have other random pains that are annoying me…not much to do today..pool, but then not much else will probably just veg with the tv later and then go to bed early from boredom as usual….maybe something exciting will happen to change that but I’m not holding my breath….more later…
