Well…it was a disappointing day yesterday with Michigan losing again and nothing really happening the rest of the day…and today is the 1st which is always the worst day of the month for me…I did meet the goal for the month so that is something but not much…feel a little worn out this morning but okay…the bug is still hanging on for over three weeks now and I am getting tired of it..slept pretty crappy and have been up since before 6 so there will be a nap in store for later and I think I’ll even get out on the bike since it was warm enough to melt the snow on the trail yesterday…but, right now, I am going to watch a movie and veg on the couch for a while….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I lost at pool for the first time in a long time so that’s okay, too…other than pool, I didn’t do much yesterday and today looks about the same…slept okay last night but, I feel worn out so this one is going to be short…I don’t think I need a new thermostat for the car since the heat worked fine going out to pool…but, it might be that it was just warmer or that I had jeans on for the first time this winter…not much to do today…just going to do laundry and clean since I do have to wait for the trails to melt so I can take the bike out…and, I do have to do one more of these to make the goal for the month but I’m not sure if it will be a good topic or not…more later…

Well…running really late today and it’s not my fault this time…the server where my site resides went down until right now so that’s a pretty good excuse…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t really do anything but watch football and eat…and cocktails so I am a little worn out today…but, part of that is still a damn bug that I have since I am still coughing and my head is plugged up…other than that, I feel okay….did sleep okay but I have to remember that I had the heat down from cooking…It was cold last night and I was up and down most of the night…I am finally going into jeans today since it is after t-day and I made the goal so that will help…still think I need to change the thermostat in the car since it doesn’t heat up like it used to…we’ll see after a long drive today out for pool…other than that, not much to do today..the Wings are playing this aft but that will be after pool…more later…

Well…it is a really, really slow news day today so this one is just going to be another one of the meandering ones that I have been doing a lot of lately…..oh, there is one bit of news…comet ISON didn’t make it around the sun…they watched it going in but it didn’t make it around the back…that is a little disappointing since I was looking forward to trying to find it next week…oh well…the turkey came out okay but I don’t think I’ll use cranberry juice next year…there were parts that were a little bitter….but, it was kind of nice to have the whole thing done and cleaned up by half time of the Lions game….one that the Lions won for the first time in 10 years…yay….and now I can just sit here and let the food digest until later…when I get to make a sandwich…and then, cocktails again…so, on that note, I am going back to the couch and have some more water….

Well…another long day yesterday with nothing much to say about it…I woke up, did stuff, then had cocktails and went to bed…the Wings did look like a team last night and crushed the Bruins…so that was something to see…slept okay but kicked all of the covers off and woke up freezing…but I’m not as sore today so that is okay…I did brine my turkey in cranberry/apple juice and it turned out red…can’t wait to see how it tastes…not much to do today…going to continue my coffee…have the pie baked already and will be putting the turkey in around noon or so…then football and gorging….more later…

Well…have been sidetracked a little today with Man U playing…and winning to my surprise…but, I need to make sure I don’t get behind this late in the month so I may just do some wandering today….it has been a depressing month with not making any cash all and that has made my already pretty small life even smaller since I can’t spend cash I don’t have….but, I am going to enjoy tonight with the Wings playing and still working on the “Dexter” marathon that I have been doing the past couple of days…one thing I just don’t understand is all of the stores that are opening on T-day…when polls that have been done show that only about 10% of the people are going to go out and shop…and, having the food courts open? I guess there are people who don’t cook and need to eat out…but, I would guess there are not that many…I’m even making a turkey just for me…trying a new brine with apple/cranberry juice that I’m hoping will be good….and how much cheaper can you buy protein? See, I am wandering….it has been a chore trying to get rid of all of the leftovers before tomorrow but it looks like I will be successful…only two more bowls of homemade soup to go…and, with that…I think I’ll go have soup…

Well…it was another lazy day yesterday and I just didn’t feel like doing anything..so, I didn’t…did do a mini “Dexter” marathon and that was fun since I don’t really remember seeing them when they were new…slept okay but woke up with my right big toe hurting and I think I may have kept it flexed all night just like I have been clenching my teeth…have to stop doing that…and, I am still sore all over except my legs and I am at a loss to know what that is about…can you get sore everywhere just from sleeping? Not much to do today…I do have to get the turkey in the brine this morning…am using apple and apple-cranberry juice for the liquid this year…have been using orange juice but last years turkey was sub-par so I thought I’d change it up…other than that, I am going to go back to “Dexter” today for more and just veg it out until cocktails later….more later…

Well…it was just another day yesterday and I didn’t get much done but I really don’t have much to get done so that’s okay….slept okay and didn’t get up until after 7 so I guess I needed it…there were dreams but they were pretty amorphous so I can’t report on them…..I did just get back from the final grocery run before the holiday but I forgot potatoes so I may have to go back tomorrow….did get to try out the summer tires on snow and they are not terrible…I am still going to put the Blizzaks on since I did paint the wheels and they have one more winter in them….not much to do today…just going to work out but no bike ride since it is slick and I don’t want to fall off and break myself….more later…

Well…it was a disappointing day yesterday with both Michigan and the Wings losing and the Dr. Who 50th anniversary special being less than stellar….I did get the couch torn apart and cleaned so that was something…but that was about it for the day…I think I may have to put a new thermostat in the car since it just doesn’t seem to have the heat it had last year…but, that is pretty easy so no big deal…or, it could be that it is 17 degrees outside….slept okay but still feel like crap today and I am really tired of it…it may be a new bug on top of the old one….not much to do today…I do get to watch the last formula 1 race this morning and then the Lions…after than, it looks like just another veg day for me….more later…

Well…running as normal today since it is only 9…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much…even took the day off the bike and my legs are thanking me…and it looks like I’ll be off it for another couple of days with it being so cold…maybe if it gets sunny I can go out but I am not going to beat myself up if I don’t…I did have to adjust the calories I took in but I think I may have re-think that…don’t want to start the winter weight gain yet but 1200 cals is just not enough for me to feel good…slept okay and the ibuprofen seems to be helping the elbow so things are looking up…it is going to be a less boring day today with lots of sports…Michigan, State, and the Wings all play today and there is the Dr. Who special on around 3 so I will have things to do…I am going to clean too, and do laundry etc. so I can at least keep busy and keep the boredom at bay…no cooking today since there are leftovers and I need to make sure I have all of the food gone before thurs….more later…
