It's All A Blur.

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. I got all my shit done yesterday pretty early. I went to my 12:00 movie with everything done for the day I wanted to do. A Monday movie at 12:00 was pretty much sold out in Holland, MI. I think that Avengers movie is going to break records. It was okay. I don't think it was the best of those movies, but it was fine. I'll probably see it again maybe.

It was a pretty easy day I'd say. I came home had a couple of drinks, and had tacos. We watched Ironman 2, and some Frasier episodes. I then slept,  and slept pretty good I'd say. I feel good. Ready to start another day. Today there will be work,  a meal, and maybe even a movie after work. Sounds pretty good to me. Labor, chill, eat, sleep.   On top of that not a thing to worry about.

Life for me is so easy.  I know for others it is a struggle, just cuz you are not me. Every day I wake up, and the grass is pretty green in my own head. If there was one thing I could wish for it's nothing. I am good. I don't need anything else. If someone threw a million bucks my way that would be a waste. My life wouldn't change any. I guess a million dollars is a lot of money. I don't know what I'd do with it. 

I remember seeing the Avengers made 1.2 Billion the first weekend. Just at the box office. Someone said if they put that much money to fix the World that would be the avengery thing to do.  I find that to be a typical flaw with people. They feel if you throw money at shit that cures stuff. Money does not change your insides. People will still have the same internal ups and downs you cannot change about yourself. Throwing money at shit doesn't fix stuff. Money at it's best is an inefficient source, just cuz people are people. Everyone craves that shit, and everyone wants a piece.

Money is flawed. Those who worship money worship a flawed resource. What you really want is something that makes you feel good all the time. That is not created with silver,  gold, money, or even heroin. It is one thing you don't have, and currently you have no idea how to create it.

Many will fake their way believing they have it, but I know better. A quick look inside anyone "should" reveal you are as flawed as any currency available. Your heart isn't the best.

I too am flawed,  but I am accepted. I don't worship money, cuz I am the way I am for different reasons than some accumulation of currency.

I am the product of my path. The one I decided to take. I could have taken the path of me, but I was broken. I was alone,  I dealt with death, and in being broken the World held no pull over me. So I took the other path. I turned away from me, and went an unknown way. I had no idea what I was doing. There were no teachers. At my lowest I would have liked someone who could teach me the ropes. There was no one, but I ended up being in pretty good hands. Part of my path. To strengthen trust. Faith is perfected through trials and tribulations. I have one more trial. I will be found guilty for the 3rd time,  and I will enter the worst tribulation.   That was my path,  and I knew it right prior to overcoming the first time. I just didn't know how to get to that point.

Now I know I'll get there when the time is right. It's not up to me. I am not scared,  but I may be as the time approaches. The truth shakes your soul. Currently we all live in comic book land. The truth of stuff is nowhere near us. Even me being mostly spirit things are still kinda in comic book land, but I've seen the Spirit World. It's scary, and powerful. So it is always in the back of my mind. My heart is still upbeat and happy. I too am courageous I guess, cuz my heart is not currently the one I was born with. It's different,  cuz I couldn't handle it. I needed help.

Anyhoo,  lol.    :)  sorry so long.

Laterzzzxzz.      :)

A Rainy Monday.

Is there anything better than a rainy Monday when you know people are at work on a rainy Monday?   :)  Yesterday was pretty good. I did my normal Sunday thing. Work, all the laundry,  clean the kitchen etc...  It is nice coming home from work knowing all that is done. I finished listening to two books this weekend too. This week is going to be shit weather all week I think.

Outside of that not much. I have to mail my taxes today, workout, do a couple errands besides that,  and I am seeing Avengers Endgame at noon. It should be a pretty easy day.

I really don't have a lot on my mind today. My life is just as boring as others I spose,  except I am not really bored. Usually when I am done with my day I don't have anything to worry about. No irritating responsibilities that says I have to do this or do that. No remorse, no sadness,  nothing to really feel bad about. The grass is always  greener in my own head, so I would not want to be anyone else. I wouldn't want anyone else's life either. Too many internal ups and downs for most people. Too many Monday morning feelings. I wake up as I do most days, I wouldn't want to be any other way.

I look outside at how another's life may be, and I know it's not mine. You probably don't even know what you don't have. Contentment. What is such a thing. It's a thing given not created. You still try to mould the World,  and your life in the ways you feel might be best.

You are blind to any 5 and 10 year plans, cuz you cannot read the future. You cannot even make you as consistent as you'd like. Too many internal ups and downs.

Oh well, I guess I better get going.

I Thought About Sleeping In.

Good morning. How's it going. I thought about sleeping in, but got up. I was thinking how nice it would be to sleep rest that extra hour and 40 minutes. I got up,  got a coffee and realized I like being up too. Yesterday was a day. We got out of work early,  which was nice. I got my tarps down in the first half of our front yard. Project kill all the things has started. 2 weeks, then I'll till, and add top soil, and plant grass, and water every day twice. I'll also tarp up the other half. I think our grass got so bad, cuz Lisa fertilized once, and the hole in the spreader went crazy so way too much fertilizer equals shitty grass. This year I hit my breaking point. A bazillion weedy looking flowers. No thank you. 

I took my truck into the dealer,  cuz I thought they would be able to fix a sensor problem I have cuz they deal with all things Ford. He ended up running into the same problem my regular mechanic said he might. The timing has to be right to figure the problem. Meaning the problem might not surface while it's in the shop. Basically sometimes there is a pause before it wants to shift into gear.

Anyway no problems at the shop. I had him check out the brakes too. I am going to have him replace them. I'll spend about twice as much as my regular guy. So stupid I am. I figure it's the truck though. We may put 3000 miles a year on it, so the brakes will last forever basically. I'll pick it up this afternoon.

Other than that not much. Yesterday was pretty normal. A friend stopped in the bakery,  and I chatted with her a while. Her husband got a new boat. I guess I always thought he had one, but they've been boatless for 5 years. The conversation was interesting, cuz they have a couple kids. I realized people actually have to entertain kids. To me that sounds awful.  :)

I am 52, I want to entertain me. Can you imagine having to deal with that 365 days per year?  Anyway it made me realize how out of the loop I am as to how people with kids live. Glad I am out of that loop too. It's hard enough to deal with myself. I get short with my Dad when he gets lost around here. John Havlicek is dead, and so is Burt Reynolds, and my dad is still alive older than them when they died. I am not a good teacher as far as being patient giving directions or how to use a phone. I figured that shit out on my own why can't others you know? 

I can be a dick in those types of things. Today will be a day. It's a workout day, and I have an errand to run. I have to make copies of my k1, so I can send it in. I am not paying right away, I'll just let them bill me. I gotta pick up the truck too. It's a bike errand day, so that's always kinda nice. Tomorrow I work,  I'll probably see a movie after,  I work Sunday for one of the last times. I may take up frisbee golf this Summer. I think it could be fun. Get me outside doing stuff. I'll have time as long as my house stuff is done,  and we don't have a lot this year.

So yeah life goes on. I did realize at some point yesterday people drink energy drinks, and coffee etc... Just to feel close to how I feel basically all the time. I am on go go go mode until I get tired as the day draws down.

Points for me:

--Kid entertaining zero days each year
--Energy.

That's all I can think of now.

Just Another Day.

Yesterday definitely was just that. Nothing too crazy went on yesterday. I was surprisingly tired when I got home. It was a day over 30,000 steps. Maybe that had something to do with it. Not sure. I did get my workout in, and ran the robot. Took my truck in, and went out to dinner. Like the title says, just another day.

I am sure today will be much the same. This time of year there is always a lot to do, so I could stay busy for hours.  I need to write out a list. Just this morning I thought of something I need to do that fell off my radar. I think I have a lot of stuff like that. A lot of times there sure is a difference between all the things you want to get done when you first wake up, and what is even physically possible after work. Yesterday like I said I was tired, so...  it was a workout day too, so I had to do the home part of the workout.

I found out yesterday my Sunday schedule may change in as little as 2-3 weeks. I am kinda excited for it, and can't really tell why. Maybe cuz of change. I'll be able to sleep in on Sundays, and be at work at 2:00 AM Monday morning.  :)  I find it kinda fun, cuz people will be just finishing their first cup of coffee hating everything Monday,  and I'll be done with my shift.  :)  It is the little things that make me happy.

So, what else?  Some days I am plugged into the middle of my day to day, and I have a feeling of easy contentment. I get to live my life. When I am done with work,  I am free to do as I choose. Not much for me to worry about.

An easy life is a good thing. It's just my easy life has me approaching 30,000 steps a lot of days,  and a quick workout every other day during the week. It also has me do some labor around the house. I find that to be me living my best life.

The days all end, and I still have more I could do. The days all end with me being tired. The days all end with me kicking back to relax. What more do you want? 

I don't feel like I want anything more out of life. You know how some people say they would be happy living on a beach?  For me nothing could be worse. I like my day to day. I like putting in an honest day of labor. I like going to bed tired. Today i am recharged in 6 hours and 21 minutes of sleep.

I know I've said it before but the grass is greener in my own head. I think of the responsibilities just normal people have, and I don't have any.

Life probably is full of failure. Your balance is out of whack. You gotta do this and this and this, and you failed in some other relationship somewhere. You spent too much time on you,  and not enough time in other areas of importance. My balance is fine, cuz I have no responsibilities. My heart does what it wants. Work,  eat, sleep. No one is dependent on me,  and me on no other. I am free to do as I choose,  but my best life is easy for me. Not a lot of yearning for me. I am in the golden years kinda.

My house is paid, I make good money for my lifestyle,  and I enjoy my work. What more could one want?  It definitely helps I got a lot of money when my Uncle died, but we already were making a pretty good amount more money each month than we had to pay in bills.

Anyways,  I spose.

Just What I Needed.

So, I had a couple nights of less than ideal sleep. Last night fixed that. I slept for 7 hours and 39 minutes. My sleep started at 6:12 PM.  :)  I guess I was tired. I got all my errands done yesterday. I got my cup for work too. One that ice doesn't melt. I picked up my taxes. I owe between Federal and State around $7500.  Yikes.   :)  I think there is around another $8000 left for me, so I won't have to have it come out of my current accounts.

I really feel good about my sleep last night. I woke up around midnight, and I knew I was sleeping good. Yesterday after my blog I got an answer kinda. Why my tale is impossible. The reason being is cuz that is how they go. I have the final thing I know,  and what comes after. What happens until then who knows. My final thing is the final thing for the current version of me. So I thought yesterday oh yeah. That makes sense.

So today I have a day. I still got some more shit to do. Just that kind of week. I have to work out too. I think all I have to do is bring my truck in, and bike home. Hopefully start getting the tarps down too, to kill the grass. Then I gotta do something for dinner. I had catfish last night. It's been a while, and I like it.

Just simple shit my life adds up to huh?  Nothing too crazy. Nothing outstanding about me or my life. I guess we all have that in common. We were once kids, and our parents probably thought we were special. Some anyway. We weren't. Some went on to procreate. They too might have thought they created something special,  but they won't be any better than us.

Our lives are loaded with fairy tales growing up,  and if the truth hit us squarely in the jaw we'd be surprised. The truth is pretty direct in its simplicity, but we thought life should be a "special" thing. There are no heroes among us. No Super Heroes. The systems in place are not perfect no matter where you were born. Life will be a struggle,  and our hearts don't feel content.

We are kinda a mess inside. Just cuz the truth is not inside us. We kinda are poisoned by fairy tales,  and stuff that give us a false view of what life is supposed to be.

I guess I went down the path of truth. Aka  the wilderness.  The fairy tales are outside me. No longer a part of who I am. We all grow up with false teaching. Overcoming twice I have overcome that.

So now things are easy. No unrealistic expectations or outlooks toward people. In that regard you and I are different. I know it, but you don't. One should probably not give any glowing recommendations of how I am as a person. I ain't that great in the least. I am accepted though , and in so being I guess I accept myself. No clouded vision of grandeur I guess you'd say. I see myself as the imperfect person I am.  I see life for how it is too.

The truth is really a thing one must brace themselves for or they will harden their heart and not be able to accept it. I guess many will fail that. 

Anyhoo,  I spose. Time to take Hope.

More Of The Same.

Good morning. How's it going?  I am fine. I didn't sleep as good as I would have liked. 2 days in a row really. I have a lot to do today too. Nothing crazy, just pick up my revised taxes to send in, and pick up tarps to kill our front lawn. We are going to do half, and then the other half. I want to pick up a miracle glass at bed bath and beyond too. The ice doesn't melt. It would be perfect for work. I drink a ton of water with squeezed lemon juice in it for flavor. I can't get enough of it. I love sour things.

Yesterday I got a good amount done. Not everything, but a lot. This time of year you know?  I always feel really strong on Monday too for my workout. All in a day.

I definitely won't be taking Hope today. At least this morning. It is thundering,  and lightning out. For not sleeping as good as I'd like I sure feel wide awake. That means I probably won't nap,  although I have time.

There sure isn't a lot to me is there?  Who is this person?  I suspect you already kinda know me. I ain't perfect in the least. Not possible as I am now. You either. We have that in common.  We both probably don't worry about that,  but for different reasons.

I just am at the stage where I don't have to worry about stuff. I know my direction, I just do not know yours. I feel this story on your part will be playing out different than I expected. Perhaps when I go do my final thing you will be thrown head first into the reality of things. I know I was during those 6 days way back when. Nothing matters when you are confronted with the truth that remains hidden.

I don't know though for sure. I've known my purpose and my job. It ended up being way more than I bargained for, but I've known it. It's just what I was here to do did not get done. I've done my part. More like led into that direction, but nothing came of it really. I cannot really help you see things as they are either , cuz the World has your complete vision.

Anyways, maybe I'll check the satellite. The thunder and lightning seems to have stopped.

Laterzzz.      :)

Monday Is My Fonday

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. Yesterday was okay. I got my house stuff done, and I worked. After work I got a quarter pounder with cheese meal. :)  my Sunday schedule may change pretty soon. It may be I'll have Sunday off, and go in Monday morning around 2:00 AM. We will see how it plays out. 2:00 AM is no big deal to me,  but I am just waiting basically for the final decision. I'd have Sunday off, and be off Monday like at 10:00 AM.

I like routine, but I never mind a slight change in the routine either. It all works for me kinda. I guess I can adapt to most things. Everything works in my favor you know? My glass no matter what is full kinda.

I have to work out in a bit, and run a couple errands. I do have some stuff to do today. Shit I'll be glad to get done. It is supposed to be like 70° out today too.  My life is pretty simple huh?  I kinda live on the golden brick road. I am not missing anything like those 4 though. My path is well lit. I cannot see exactly how things play out, but I am assured in my ways. Not a thing to worry about. In life I miss out on nothing,  and if you could wake up like how I feel you would be amazed.

The secret is the turn. A blind leap if you will. Give up the authorship of my days, and accept the one I am supposed to take.

I didn't create a perfect life, but I've been given a heart that is content. I did not manipulate events to make me how I am. I just endured the journey.

In a World we look for brilliance you'll find there is none. I suppose some of you will learn these things in time. Til then we just do as we do.

Me content in my ways. You, I am not sure. 

Anyhoo

The Title Game.

So once again I have no idea about a title. You just sit there looking at the wall. Anyway yesterday I had a day. It was okay. I did not plan for the weather good or it was off. I rode to work close to 70°  wind at my back. I rode back in rain, and what felt like 40°  it was freezing. Also I had to do a no no. Ride home,  so I could drive to work out. I got it in, and a full 4 sets of everything. On something like that I feel it would be really easy for one to stop. Ya kinda have to make it a priority or you'll lose it. It is a good feeling putting your muscles to work. It's just not what you always want to do after work.

Other than that not much. Work is busy cuz of the holiday,  and tulip time is right around the corner. Memorial day not far from that,  so I spose. It also is time we start getting our yard ready. Our driveway guy will do our driveway sometime. Not sure when. He still had jobs left from last year. We are on the list though. I am going to put plastic on our lawn in the front to kill everything and start from scratch. It's shit. So, I got stuff to do, and work keeps me busy.

One thing I liked coming back from vaca, is getting paid. You spend a good portion of money on vaca, but it gets replenished. You can build back up. It gives me peace of mind I guess.

Other than that not much. I have no idea what to do for dinner.  Today is a day. It should be okay. My life is such a way where there is little stress. I like my routine. I think I like my routine more than I like vacations. My routine is me in my comfort zone I guess. It's where I feel most confident. A lot of knowns, and not much unknowns. I guess I like that. Others may be different.

Oh, I was over 30,000 steps yesterday too, so it was an active day. Guess I better get going.

Things Seem Different With Me.

I am not thinking different in a huge way, but more like I have absolutely nothing of important to say. I can sit here for a ridiculous amount of time just thinking of a title.

Maybe I never had much to say. I've blogged a ridiculous amount of times.  :)

Anyway in the news you may have seen a building burn down. A lot was made of it cuz it was old. I just figured it's a building, big deal. No matter how you spin it, it's just a building. Historical significance means nothing,  cuz Napolean may have had some historical significance, but he's dead. Who cares about him? 

I thought of myself sitting here at the age of 52, and my years keep piling up. I'll be dead at some point too. At 6' under I won't really give too much thought to my historical significance. Maybe even exactly the same amount of thought  the burned  building currently is thinking about it's historical significance. I can't say that for sure though.

The things in this World don't last. We don't last. Most elements I believe even have their theoretical half life. I guess though if you keep cutting your life in half you'll never come to the end.

Anyways.  Yesterday was a day. I slept in. We got out of work a little early so I went and saw Shazam. It was pretty good. I was entertained. Lisa picked up pizza from this awesome thin and greasy pizza place we like.  It is sooooo good. We try to just go a few times a year so it is always surprisingly good. You eat it too much it loses some of that special occasion taste.

I skipped my workout so I'll have to go today.  Other than that not much. Today will be a day. It probably will go as most days go. I am thinking of making brats on the grill. It's been a while. It sounds good.

I guess that's about it. I ain't got much more.

The Winds From The West Traveling Through Minis Tirith

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. It really is good to be home. We got all our shit done yesterday. Laundry, dishes, grocery shopping. Got my amendment to my taxes getting done. I have to pay taxes on a K-1. Things look good.

I got a workout in. I stepped back on sets, cuz I took a week off. This morning I'll take Hope, so all is back to normal. Got my oil changed in the truck too. I like my normal. I'll be biking to work today. It's just going to be an awesome day. You know you are happy with your life when you wake up like this. Even my blood pressure was at 118/78 or something. My blood pressure is never low. I took two readings too. Don't ask me how that happened.

Other than that I am back in my routine. It ain't anything special,  but I love it. A simple life filled with simple days. Nothing too stressful for me to worry about.

The weather will be warm. We got a few inches of snow on Sunday, and it's almost gone. What isn't gone will be today. It will be like 60° out. A lot of rain this week in the forecast,  so I'll probably fertilize today. Oh yeah, my knee is healed. The pain I felt a week ago is gone. I'll have to monitor that I guess. It's been forever since it bugged me.

So really not much going on. A simple day ahead of me with no worries. If people live with anger that sucks. I'll take how I feel any day. I ain't doing anything important either. No one else is either,  most just don't know it.

Anyways, I guess.

I'm Back.

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. I worked yesterday,  so back to my routine. We spent 5 nights in Seattle. It was fine. Nothing much to report. It is a gorgeous area, no doubt about it. Property values are ridiculous. I guess it's the first big city I have visited since the recovery, post bank bail out. It seems like money is created there. High tech jobs are in abundance, averaging $62/ hour or whatever.  There are 8 restaurants, and 9 bars on every corner. No shortage of places to spend money.

I don't know how bad of a city it is compared to others with opioid problems,  but it has its fair share. Seattle is willing to throw money at the problem,  but I don't know how much it helps. I did some reading on it, and my conclusion is if you are hooked on heroin, or whatever you are fucked. You want to get off it you'll suffer. The only help available is to make your suffering a bit less by giving you less doses of an opioid.

I am sure it's an awesome high, but the price you pay.  Yikes.

Anyway it's good to be home. I've decided to try to live more like a tourist in my hometown this year. People travel here to see this area in the Summer,  and I take it for granted. Access to Lake Michigan is a short bike ride away, and I never visit it. I found people in Seattle are the same way. You get into your routine, and you lose track of your surroundings.

I did worry about how much money we  spent on our trip. We took $1000 out of our petty cash. (Cash we actually keep in our safe)  we spent most of that,  and very little outside that, so it wasn't bad. Flights, and hotel were already paid for. I did have to reschedule our flight home,  cuz I woke up Friday morning, and after a while realized our flight was supposed to leave 12:40 AM around 7 hours earlier.   :)  it gave us the extra day we thought we had for some reason. We drove to Mt. Ranier so we could get a closer look at the nothing we could see due to being  too cloudy and overcast. Still a majestic area regardless.

So, my sleep I am caught up from. Traveling home from the West sucks. I am back to work. Excited for it too. Outside of everything, I love my day to day. I am at ease I guess. Work,  eat,  sleep,  yes please.  

Anyhoo, I spose.

The Weird Time.

So, now is the time of year that is a tweener. If it's nice you can be outside, but if it is 40 and windy not so much.

My steps were down yesterday. Probably around 25,000. Also my knee is acting up. It doesn't really hurt to walk,  and I can bike no problem,  but she does not appreciate bending too much. I decided to sleep in today. I could walk Hope, but I didn't. The 2:30-4:00 AM sleep is pretty sweet. It's a long time. I did sleep too.

Other than that not much. I forget my knee acts up. It's been forever since it bugged me. I was surprised by it. What do you do?  It is one of those things with my job too. I need the use of my legs. A person can do their job in a cubicle with a busted leg. Me, probably not. Positives and negatives in all things.

We went out to dinner last night. I had a burger. I kind of wanted one. The place I go to you can get cottage cheese instead of French fries. Fries are okay, but I can usually do without them. I love cottage cheese.

I am kinda getting sick of Lisa's brother. He hasn't worked a full 40 hours in forever. Always comes home sick. Complaining about something or other. If he's not working he's home. ALWAYS. He's probably gained about 100 pounds the last year. All he does is play video games. His only friends are the people on the internet. He's so gross. He wears the same sweats, and same tee shirt. God only knows how often he does laundry. He's fine living here if he works. If he works we don't see him. Gone before I get home,  and I am asleep before he gets back. That works out well. Obviously I am having too face time with him. I lived with Jackie. A lazy person who did nothing. Kevin is his mother's son. It's why I didn't want my brother Jim to live with us. It's a disgusting way to be.

Got that off my chest. People. My Dad can be annoying cuz old people are, but he gets out to do shit more than Kevin. He's got like 45 years on him. 

Other than that just plugging along I guess. It will be nice to get away for a bit. The weather looks pretty good for most of the week. 60 and sunny  it looks like. Probably rain the day we get there. It's Seattle though.

So I guess everything else is fine. A simple life. Not much else on my mind. I've been blogging pretty much about nothing this week.

Today is a day. I am driving cuz of rain, so I'll probably see a movie after work. I work tomorrow,  and then I start vacation. A different city to check out.

Laterzzz.     :)

Time Wasted.

Lately I really waste a good amount of time just coming up with a title. I typically have no clue what will show up on this thing. I wake up, and just do it. I don't put much thought into it. More than anything it's just something I do.

Yesterday was a pretty fun day. I laughed a lot. Mostly over just stupid shit. I never got tired at all. I was full of energy the whole day. Everyone probably gets tired at some point as the day goes on, but it never happened to me. I was at 100% the whole day. It was kinda nice out too so I was able to sit out for a bit.

Other than that not much. It was a workout day, so I got that in. Then it was dinner and crash. I slept good again. I was out. Woke up about 1/2 hour before my early alarm. I woke up once before that. To move from chair to bed.  :)  We have a big comfy chair you can lay in.  My steps were just under 28,000 too.

Steps are kinda a trip I guess. Mostly cuz on a day off i typically am under 10,000 steps. A work day and I am 3 to 4 times higher. I suspect my work keeps me more active than most. I don't know what another person's normal is though. Heck I don't really know what people do to fill their day. Not that I am particularly interested, but just thinking out loud.

How much does a cubicle job stifle activity? I assume a lot,  but I wouldn't know. I don't even know what people do in cubicles. Look at computers?  Answer phone calls?  Study spreadsheets and databases? 

What is a normal work week for people?  Everyone's is different. There is security knowing pretty much what you have to do as you get up. There probably won't be a ton of surprises.

I feel my life is pretty easy. It helps I wake up with a good amount of energy. This morning I was thinking I was comfortable. It would still be comfortable laying in my bed, but I got up cuz I can. I know I'll still be full of energy even if I don't stay in bed. Plus I get to take Hope for a run, and get a kick start on steps. Basically it helps me hit 10,000 steps 2-3 hours earlier than normal without the run.

That is I guess an important thing for me this year. Last year the whole step thing was new to me. I've had this watch for just over a year. I had extra Best Buy bucks to use. Wasn't sure I'd even like it, but I do. I can be a keep track of shit guy I guess.

So overall I guess stuff is good. I have another day before me. I think it should be okay. Not much else going on with me. Just a pretty simple life I spose. 

Laterzzz.       :)

A Title About Nothing

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. I feel pretty well rested. Yesterday was a pretty normal day. Nothing out of the ordinary at all. I ended up with just under 27,000 steps. Outside of making dinner I don't think I did anything when I got home from work. I did do some research on heroin and fentanyl before bed.    :)  mostly wanted to see how fentanyl came to be a thing, and also the dangers. I think it said it was like 25-50 more times powerful than heroin. They are both opioids. Basically some bad shit.

I don't think anything really peaked my interest besides that. I did learn this morning an average resting heart rate should be between 60-100 bpm. Mine is usually upper 60s to lower 70s. I thought it should be lower,  but I guess that's pretty good.

So, today is a day. I am well rested, meaning I was out last night. Probably didn't wake up once til pretty close to my early alarm. It is a work out day so it will be busy. I have to do dishes, and we'll need dinner. Basically just your regular day I guess.  My day will be pretty full. The day will end, and we do another tomorrow. Unlike you I will have no fentanyl in my system.   :) 

It's just life. Not much to it. Just a string of days that seemingly never ends, and then it does. I am not too worried about anything though. Work, eat, sleep. Just the way I like it.

Laterzzz.      :)

Not A Lot.

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. I actually got a good amount of little shit done yesterday. Brought the fat fire bike, and the snow blower out to the shed. Installed a door closer for our storm door. You know those little hydraulic ones. Made a pot roast in the slow cooker. Cleaned the garage a bit. Ran the robot too. For a day off I went over 10,000 steps too. Returned some bottles too. It's kinda what you want in a day off, but not always what you want to do. Did some other shit too.

Last week I did not hit 72 miles, but I did crack the 70 mile plateau. Now I start all over. The week after I'll be on vacation so it will be way down. 

Outside of that not much going on. Nothing terribly pressing on my mind. Just living out these days. Not doing anything terribly important. Nothing terribly important to do. It's a life we live for a short while, and then it is done.  We won't make any great mark while we are here, and a few may be sad for about a year when we go. Then slowly we will be forgotten.

I feel it's a good thing to know, cuz it is the truth. If you didn't know that you would probably spend a lot of time contemplating the important things you should do with your life. The answer is, left to your own devices you will not concoct anything of importance. Many will use buzz words trying to convince others what they do is important.

I listen to a lot of mystery books. They are entertaining. There always is a Sherlock Holmes type character who is incredibly smart. Maybe a physical specimen who would never lose a fight. 99-0 in fights started by a gang of 4 or 5 people who have knives, this person would be.   :)

We want heroes. Someone to look up to, and maybe it is cuz without heroes it's just us. If we surely aren't that great who is?  If no one is what does that mean about our existence?  What's the point if there are no superhuman people. No saints?  Why even be smarter than the dirt, and ashes we turn into? 

On the face of it life is absurd. There is no reason for it. There is a reason we are here, but few take that path. The World is too enticing,  and the truth is far from most.  So they make their own story that means nothing. Even rock stars view the last days of their lives, barring an accident that takes a life abruptly. There may have been fun, but it is fleeting,  cuz we still face the end of our days.

In the end we don't really matter, and that might be what we wanted most. A lot of stuff is accepted as truth when it isn't. Kinda weird looking at the World if we throw all our beliefs out the window.

Anyway, I have a day today. Hope it's okay. I'll be busy, and hopefully pushing 30,000 steps.

Laterzzz.     :)

Separation.

I don't really know what you call it. Yesterday I went to work early in the morning. Typically I don't make the sponges for the bread that's baked on Sunday night, but I did yesterday. Since I was there I figured I might as well do the stuff I do from 2-4:30 PM. So, I went into work at 4:00 instead of 2:00 in the afternoon

Anyway that is why I didn't blog yesterday. Not that I had anything to say. Anyway things seemed different yesterday. Like maybe I had separation from who I was the week before. Things didn't look the same. I don't know what you call it.

This weekend was pretty normal. I worked,  saw a movie. We had tacos for dinner on Saturday. I didn't sleep all that great on Saturday. Today I have off. I have to work out today, and perhaps I can get a few other things done. I did get all my Sunday shit done yesterday. I almost forget I'll be in Seattle next week Sunday. It will be fine getting away, and it will be good coming back. It is neat seeing a new city. To see how different things are compared to where I live,  and have lived.

When I get back I guess it will be Spring time. Spring races, tulip time. Baseball has already started. I don't have to pay too much attention,  cuz my team is rebuilding. The division is up for grabs kinda, so you never know.

I'll be busy through Labor day probably. Not crazy busy, but every week will probably be busier than Winter, post-Holiday. I eventually will have Sunday off instead of Monday. It gives me a 5th day to do my regular job, instead of cramming everything in 4 days, or trying too. 

I guess everything is fine. My life continues to move ahead like everyone. Day after day. Today I have a day off like I said. Guess I better start it.

As you can see I got nothing.  :)

Laterzzz.      :)
