August 3rd

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday and I have a good excuse…felt like crap after pool and did nothing but hit the couch…I’m now sure it was a bug of some sort with the coughing and crap in my lungs…feel much better today even with having a couple of cocktails last night so I’m hoping the worst is over…both Tom and I were tired of shooting pool and left it with a tie, which never happens….but that is okay…my stomach was so bad that I couldn’t have kept going…slept okay last night but still have a little heartburn that I am going to treat in a minute before I get out on the bike…I was hoping that the fog was going to stay until I ride but I needed coffee first and it has mostly lifted so maybe next time…I will be back for more later and to get caught up…..more later…

August 2nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a lot of stuff done for a change so I feel okay about that…slept okay, too, so even with the cocktails last night, I feel okay today….don’t have a lot to say, though, so this one is going to be kind of short…I still hurt everywhere and I’m not sure if it is just the same as last year or not…it does seem to be centered in the elbows this year but my right knee still gets some twinges on the bike, too, but nothing bad. I did have one of the headrest speakers quit in the car yesterday and they are only a year old…but, it started working again and I’m not sure what that was about…I did open it up and look at it but the connections were tight so I’m not sure what the problem is…I did keep the ones that came out of it so I will have a spare if it quits again….not much to do today…it’s raining right now so I have to wait to get on the bike….so, I’ll have the second cup of coffee and wait…more later…

Last one for the month…

Well…can’t really come up with anything earth shattering but I do need to do one more to make it to the goal for the month….I do still feel like crap today but I think it may be from not eating enough yesterday…didn’t get out on the bike today since it is raining and I just don’t have the ambition to go out and get wet….and I don’t have anything in my head that I need to get out…so, this one is going to be short for now…I will come back to add to it later…maybe….

July 31st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday with meeting up with T for a nice, long HH but I was not good when I got home so I feel a little crappy today…slept okay but the otc sleeping pills are taking a lot out of me and I think I’ll have to stop taking them…I think the clutch finally needs to be fixed in the car but with the rain today…it’s not going to happen for a couple of days…not much to do today…it’s a recovery day, after all, and that means I’ll be taking it easy…after I work out and ride the bike that is…I do need to eat more today since I only got to about 1300 cals yesterday and that is not nearly enough….more later…

July 30th

Well…it was a somewhat interesting day yesterday…had a bee invasion through my kitchen window…got stung, and then whacked one of them on one of my blinds in the living room…the shade just shattered like glass when I hit it…must have been from the sun exposure…had to go out and buy a new one since it looked so ghetto with 5 slats broken…slept okay last night with it being a no cocktail night and that will continue through Thurs….and there were weird time-travel dreams that had Steve Jobs in it…which was fun…there was also a zoo and other places in it and California….I am sore today from the bike ride….after taking sun off, my legs were okay but everything hurts today….but, I will be out on it again after it warms up a little…not much to do today…may meet up with T later and I do have to clean my kitchen but that is about it…more later…

July 29th

Well….running late again today and it is because of the cocktails last night…just having a hard time getting moving today…it was an okay day yesterday with the race and the US winning the gold cup but not looking as good as they have in the earlier matches…slept okay but I think I didn’t eat enough even with skipping the bike ride….I do need to get some stuff done around here today and get back into the routine….so, that is what I’m going to do right now…have to post over at Kos and then get going…more later…

Need to cheat a little…

Well…since I’m running out of month and running behind, I do feel the need to cheat a little and just do one with random thoughts…I did decide to not ride the bike today and give the legs a rest…but, there was some trail weirdness that I haven’t relayed yet…another pregnancy test on the trail…I wonder if there is a different life on the trail late at night that I just never see since I am out during the day? I did have a bird attack the other day, too, but that one is just about normal now..just some small black bird that is protecting something…or maybe it just doesn’t like my hat….the bike has been working perfectly so I guess it is time for it to break again…but, the cool thing is that I know how to fix everything that can break so there is no stress…just don’t want it to break on the trail and have to walk back…I am getting excited that the US is playing at 4…but, I am so tired today for some reason that I may nap through it…hope not….more later…

July 28th

Well…it was another day yesterday where I didn’t get much done…just kind of vegged it and cooked…and today looks like more of the same and I may even take the day off from riding…I am going to blame that on the rain but I do need to rest the legs and let the pain go away…but, it will be a fight with guilt all day if I don’t ride…slept okay last night and just laid in bed for almost an hour after I woke up…something I never do….so, the day has started out a little strange….I do have to clean the bathroom today…the spiders have taken over and I do need to get rid of them and clean the shower…and the floor, and the sink….so that is the big plan for the day…along with watching the US play in the gold cup final later…thought they were playing Mexico but Panama beat them so that should be good…more later…

July 27th

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday and now that means I need to do three today…but that is a concern for later…it was an okay day yesterday but I got whipped at pool again…I did make an 8 ball on the break so that was some small consolation….and, with the cocktails last night, I feel a little crappy today and that is why I’m running so late…it looks like it’s going to be a low key day today with nothing but cooking and cleaning in it…I am going to run the slow cooker today and that is something I need to get to right now so I can get out on the bike….I may have to take a day off the bike in the near future since my legs are constantly in pain and stiff…but, not today…more later…

July 26th

Well…feel kind of crappy today with going out to meet up with C for a few more than a couple last night…but it was fun and good to get out and see a few people after being in since last Sat…other than that, it was just a normal day with the normal stuff going on….slept okay, I think, but I am quite tired today and I hope that the bike ride will help with that…I’m sure I didn’t eat enough and that is part of it…but, you’ve heard me bitch about that more than enough times…I am going to try to eat a lot this weekend to make up for it…making some slow cooked chicken that may help….not much to do today…..might have pool day but I’m not sure about that…more later…
