The day the music died.
I did a search to make sure I’ve never given this title to a blog post before, but what do you know? I haven’t. So, yeah, the music died earlier. I was at the gym doing my morning workout on the treadmill when it happened. Thus, I was forced to watch the treadmill’s television forContinue reading “The day the music died.”
My new goals
It’s occurred to me that I’m not really an unhealthy eater (although I certainly can be), but I’m not capable of dieting enough for weight loss.

I’ve got some items coming from Amazon later today, and not yet having them ground the project to a halt. I was waiting allContinue reading “Great news! And misery.”
Random musings of happytimes days and procrastinating on shower time!
I don’t think I’ve blogged for a while, and today feels like a lazy day. There are things I want to do, but they’d require me to take a shower first, and taking a shower can be a huge production. Floss and brush my teeth, lay out clean clothes, coax myself into the water… Yeah.Continue reading “Random musings of happytimes days and procrastinating on shower time!”
