December 21st

Well…it was just another day yesterday and I stayed in since Tom’s back is bad and there was no pool…didn’t mind, though, since I was not really in too social of a mood….so, that meant a day of tv and reading which was okay…slept okay last night but again no dreams to speak of and I was up really early…so, I do feel a little worn out today but I know some of it is from not eating enough…haven’t gotten the no bike calorie intake down yet and it appears it will be a chore….not much to do today…I do need to clean the bathroom and will get on that after I finish my coffee…just not too motivated right now…more later…

Well…it was another day yesterday but I did find the new battery for my Walkman buried over at the post office…it had been here for almost a month, came by registered mail so I had to sign for it…and, they were supposed to leave a notice if I wasn’t here but that never happened either…I am also here all the time so there was no reason for them to not knock on my door for the signature…just lazy I guess…but the guy at the battery company was really helpful in finding where it was so that was cool…and now, I have been playing it all day yesterday and today and it hasn’t used any juice…looks like the beat up, old thing will go on for another couple of years…not bad for 14 bucks…I did sleep okay and I may have found the reason for the constant stuffed up head…in cleaning the other day, I found some black mold that was growing on my bedroom window…so, I cleaned that up with a bleach solution and I’ve noticed that I am breathing better in bed…we’ll see…not much to do today…I did buy some ground chuck at the store this morning since I am craving burgers after not having any beef for the past couple of months and that will be lunch for the day…then, I need to clean to at least do something….more later….

December 18th

Well…it was another day yesterday and I only slept about three hours last night so I am tired and grumpy this morning…had some weird dreams that centered on the 4th amendment and police abuses of it that were troubling to say the least..and, I got an e-mail from the battery company that the battery was delivered here on the 23rd of November but it never showed up in my mailbox…so, I have to go up to the office in a few minutes to see if it was left there…and then, over to the post office if it isn’t…the last entry on the tracking said there was a notice left but that never happened so I am a little pissed about that…and the battery is so small that you could put 5 of them in a standard envelope so I’m not sure why they would put it in something that won’t fit in my mailbox…other than that, it was just another boring day in the apt with not a lot to do…I did find some mold that was growing on my bedroom window and cleaned that all up with bleach…wonder if that was why I am so stuffed up all the time? Not much to do today…battery searching and resumes but that is about it…more later…

Okay…here’s an update on the battery situation…finally found it buried in the distribution center over in Kentwood…had to sign for it since it came from Singapore and they think it might be terrorist related….have installed it and it is charging so, so far so good…and it has been charging for a half hour when the old battery showed full charge after 5 minutes…can’t wait to get it back in the car…

December 17th

Well…it was a kind of nice day yesterday with lunch with T and lots of laughs…and more trips down memory lane….we did have fun….slept like crap and up way too early today but there is nothing I can do about that so I won’t think about it…I did scrape together 5 bucks to get in on the Mega for tonight…586 million dollars would be okay and it is fun to have some hope for one day anyway…still feel like I have allergies or something since my head is still plugged up and I am sneezing..don’t feel too bad other than that so I guess I’ll stop complaining….I do have to get some stuff done around here today…need to get the summer wheels cleaned and put away to remove some of the clutter….not much to do today…resumes but that’s about it…only have a buck in my pocket so that keeps me in all day but that’s normal anyway…more later…

December 16th

Well…I was right…it was another boring day yesterday and the only thing I did was binge watch “Lillyhammer” to get through the 8 new ones…pretty good show and the last one had lots of tongue in cheek “Sopranos” references including the theme song…slept like normal and feel okay today but it’s only 3 degrees outside and that just adds to the layers of things to be depressed about…the car did start so that was a good thing and it appears that the heat works fine…we’ll see….might have lunch with T today but it looks a little iffy and, as much as I’d like to see her, I just don’t have the cash to be spending going out…not much to do today…I do need to work out since I can’t ride anymore and that is making me even more depressed…gaining weight already and that will be a nice set up for further depression…just full of laughs today…more later…

December 15th

Well…another day gone by and not really anything to show for it…and, I’m running really late today since I had to make two runs out to get the paper…wasn’t there at the normal time and that threw me off for the morning…didn’t sleep okay last night and I think part of it is that I fell asleep on the couch and I am sore from doing that…oh, well…didn’t get much accomplished yesterday other than cooking…didn’t even clean at all so I do need to do the bathroom today….and there are no Lions on today so this day is shaping up to be a bore…maybe a Netflix marathon is in order? Made some of the crappiest coffee in a long time yesterday that I am finishing today…trying to save money and make the coffee last is just not working…it is more like brown water…I can’t afford to buy coffee so I guess I’ll just have to live with it…I do have tea in the cupboard but that gives me terrible heartburn and I’m not fond of the taste…more later…

December 14th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool for the 3rd week in a row and I’m not sure how I feel about it..okay, I do…don’t care…slept okay last night but got up really early so there will be a nap at some point today…or maybe not…who knows? Have been out already this morning and I really do have to remember to dress warmer…it was just damn cold putting gas in the car…but, I am all set for the weekend now so it looks like hibernation is going to be the order of the day…I should clean my bathroom and I think I will after coffee…other than that, not much to do today…Michigan plays Arizona in basketball at noon so that might be something and the Wings play later so I will have something to do…more later…

December 13th

Well…it was just another day yesterday and i didn’t really accomplish much…and the 12 degree high for the day just took everything out of me…made me depressed about the whole world and T not feeling well didn’t help…I did sleep okay and there were dreams of breaking my phone in half which was just odd….I did get to cook a ham that I bought yesterday and the addition of some protein to my diet was a good thing but I still feel sluggish without being able to get out on the bike…and now, both elbows have started to hurt and I am just so tired of it…should go take some ibuprofen I guess…not much to do today…should be a pool day but since I am broke, I think I should take a pass…I am tired of being a mooch…more later…

December 12th

Well…it was another long day yesterday and I did get out to see C for a few minutes but couldn’t afford to spend any money so it was water at the bar…kinda weird but I may be able to get used to it…and the lunch with T was canceled since she is not feeling well and I am starting to worry about her…I know the stress from being out of work and the constant knot in the stomach is something I really want to go away….slept okay but I am finding that I no longer can sleep in my left side…just won’t sleep until I shift over and it is really strange since it has never happened before…I did have to spend what little I had in my checking account to buy food since I had cleaned out my freezer and there was just no food left…even without riding the bike I have been losing weight and I know part it is I can’t afford cocktails so that saves a thousand calories a day…I did buy a nice ham today for 11 bucks but that should last me through next week…going to cook that today with the glaze that came with it…haven’t had much protein in the past week so that will be good…not much to do today…going to hibernate with it being 12 degrees outside and no money….more later…

December 11th

Well…it was just a normal day yesterday but I did get some cleaning done so that made me feel good…and slept okay last night but no dreams but that is okay…I do like the entertainment value but sometimes it brings up things that I really don’t want to think about…like being broke and it being winter and I’m already tired of it…but, I do need to slide into the endurance mode that gets me through most winters but it is almost too early to do that…not sure if I can do endurance for 4 months..we’ll see…it is kind of funny when I look at my computer and how much I use it…the letters on the keys are starting to wear off and the e and d are gone…I can type without knowing but there are times that brain freeze has me starting at the keyboard and wondering what they are….not much to do today….might have lunch with T and then out for a couple with C later…but, might have to just have water since I am broke again…more later…
