Stop being quiet…the old world doesn’t exist anymore..

Well…have been reading a few things about why older people didn’t believe that Social Security would be attacked by the idiot and his minions even though they said they were going to kill the program during the election…and not in the normal lying about the attack…they came right out and said it and yet 65% of people over 65 voted for the asshole trump…are we the dumbest generation ever? Sure looks that way and the way the dem leaders are trying to deal with the destruction by trying to talk to the repubs and compromise is old world tactics and that world doesn’t exist anymore and that’s why Schumer needs to go and we need to stop being quiet…and every time one of idiot boys minions launches another attack, one of the new, louder dems have to go on every damn news show, talk show, podcast and everywhere else to make sure people know what is going on…and point it right at the seniors who voted against themselves and promise to fix the damage that trump is doing…and I think them shutting down SS should happen or these stupid racist seniors won’t feel the consequences of what they did when they voted for the asshole…geez…

March 24th

Well…slept through the night last night but I sure don’t feel like it this morning…have 40 minutes before I have to get on the bike at 7 but I sure don’t want to…damn, I’m starting to sound like a broken record…I think I need a reset of my brain somehow…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I need to run an errand today…the wind is howling out here already and it’s frickin snowing at the end of March? Yeah, okay…I’ve seen lots of snow in April so I guess it’s not that unusual….don’t have a lot of plans for the day today other than riding and reading some more but that sounds pretty boring and I guess it is….down to 39 miles to go to get to 2K before the end of the month so I’ll make it easily….but I really don’t want to have any goals this year….it’s a pain in the butt getting older and having all of the maintenance on this old body…I mean…teeth, eyes, plantar wart and skin that needs work every day…along with BP meds and that is getting really old…oh, well…not much to do today…I sure hope the first ride gets me going because I am so worn out right now…more later….

As you can see…

Well…as you can see, I didn’t do a political one today since I am overwhelmed with t he damage the idiot trump and his minions are doing to this country…So I took a mental health day today and didn’t read anything political all day and really didn’t do anything other than three rides…then I took the rest of the day off and I am going to have cocktails and watch the fox animation IRT tonight…I did finish the second book and am going to start on the third after I treat my eyes and they clear up enough so I can see again…my right hand has been in pain the past few days and it really does feel like arthritis since it’s stiff, too…but it might just be from holding the book mostly with my right hand…and when you do that for hours in a day, the result can be pain…oh, well…it’s going to frickin snow tomorrow and I have to remember to take the pork chops and steak out of the freezer to eat this week since they start the rest of the dental work next week and I won’t be able to eat anything for four months until I get the partial denture in there…I guess it will help me lose some weight…okay need to blur my eyes…

March 23rd

Well…up too early this morning at 5:31 and I’m just feeling old today…my hands hurt for some reason and I wonder if it’s arthritis? Haven’t been doing any work other than cleaning so that can’t be it…need to get off my butt and get started on the last 63 miles to the intermediate goal of 2K before the end of the month….I am just so tired….it’s only 27 degrees out there and it just isn’t warming up at all and that is so depressing to me when I love the warm weather that isn’t coming…does it sound like I’m depressed today? Yep…didn’t make coffee last night with a lot of leftovers in the pot…might even make some more pour over if I need it today….need to get on the bike by 7am and that gives me 29 minutes to sit here and pour the coffee down…don’t have any plans today other than watching races and reading but even reading seems to be too much work right now…at least I don’t have to clean today….not much to do today….just need more coffee and to get my old butt moving…still have leftovers to eat today so no cooking and I would really like to have something bad for me that tastes good….oh, well…more later….

A clean house…

Well…worked on cleaning this place since Thursday and finished it up this morning expecting my son to come out today…but he never came and no text or phone call to beg off…oh, well…I really needed to clean this place up and now I won’t have to do any cleaning for a week or so…I did get to 1,700 miles indoors on the bike today and with the 233 outdoors that only leaves 67 miles to do to get to 2,000 by the end of March…and with a week left, that should be easy…have way too many leftovers in the fridge and probably shouldn’t have made the cabbage yesterday but it was going to spoil and, even at 45 cents a pound, that would be throwing away a couple of bucks and I didn’t want to do that…so I won’t be cooking until late next week and that’s okay…not going to get to 50 again here until next Thurs and that kinda sucks and then it gets cold again into the 40′s…ick…it would be nice to get some outdoor rides in…okay, have to treat my eyes with the ointment the eye doctor gave me no so they will clear up enough so I can see the tv later….

This is what happens…

Well…this is what happens when you put a clueless asshole billionaire in charge of Social Security…just the other day this prick was talking at another right wing press conference and he downplayed the idea that people will be hurt if he cuts off payment of these earned benefits saying “only fraudsters will complain if we stop the payments” and again threatened to stop sending the money next week…I’m sure as hell not a fraudster and I have already complained to my senators here in Michigan about the threat and, while I could live for a couple of years on my savings, most people on SS can’t and when this asshole cuts of payments which he really intends to do, there is going to be a tsunami of homelessness and starvation in the very group that put these assholes in office…and then all these maga morons will figure out a way to blame the dems as they shiver on street corners…geez…

March 22nd

Well…up at 0600 this morning and that followed waking up at 5:09 and trying to get just a little more sleep…my eyes are really foggy this morning and I think it’s from allergies that I’ll see for sure after I give them a wash here in a minute…need to get on the bike by 7am to get the rides in and then get after cleaning the living room…sure don’t feel like doing anything right now and it feel like my body is giving up on me on small increments…have a plantar wart on the sole of my left foot, have a crack in my left thumb that hurts like crazy, and my eyes are giving me fits today and I just feel worn out from all of it…and I think I’m going to need to make more coffee today…haven’t had any whole bean coffee for more than a week and today would be a good day for it….it was darn windy yesterday so there was no way I was getting outdoors and it is going to be cold today so I’m not even going to think about going out…and the weather is going to be cold for the rest of the month…not even getting out of the 30′s today and won’t get to 50 until Thursday and then back into the 40′s and that sucks…not much to do today…just cleaning and surviving with how I feel right now…damn, I hate getting old…more later…

Almost done…

Well…worked on this place all day today and now have the kitchen, bathroom, and dining room done with just the couch and living room to do in the morning…I did get laundry done today and cooked the remaining cabbage with potatoes and carrots so I’ll have that to eat for a week or so to go with the stir fry and chicken and rice…only did one meal again today but I did have a bowl of the cabbage after it was done so maybe that counts for a meal? Finished the first book today and have started the second one but just a couple of pages sine I need to rest my eyes a bit…oh, and I gave myself a haircut since what’s left of my hair was getting shaggy…so now it’s a little after 6 pm and I am done for the day….think I may have a movie to watch tonight but I need to take a look at plex to see…only did two rides today since there wasn’t time to get a third in and still get the cleaning done…so I’ll try to do three tomorrow morning before my son comes over…

I told you so…

Well…with a court ruling that elon and his thugs can’t have everyone’s SS information, the temporary head of the agency responded by threatening  to shut the entire program down…and that is going to happen next week…and I told you so you maga assholes who voted to starve me and 78 million Americans who depend on SS that this was going to happen…but the thing is they just don’t care…as long as their god king is deporting people, sometimes American citizens, they are just fine with it…and I do not want to hear any of them who depend on SS whine about it…you assholes voted for just this and your stupidity is going to make me homeless in a year…even though we had a contract with the US government to get the benefits we paid for…the idiot trump and his minions don’t care about contracts at all and idiot boy never did in his businesses, either….I am pissed at the dems, too, since they don’t appear to be doing anything about it…I’ve already e-mailed my Michigan senators telling them to stop cooperating with these thugs and do everything they can to keep me from becoming homeless…but who knows if they wqill do anything…I told you so…

12,999

Well…just looked and this one is my 12,999th post here since I started doing these years and years ago…man, that takes a bit of discipline to keep coming here and having something to say every damn day…sometimes they even made sense…but not all the time…lots of rants in there about the stupidity of politics that hurt people every day with the latest trump bullshit hitting we older Americans right in the heart of our trying to just live out our lives and keep the earned benefits that we paid for…but that is going away soon and I can’t believe that there is not a revolt happening right now…it looks like we are just going to allow the thugs and billionaires to kill us all by killing SS and that means I have no more than a couple of years before I’m dead broke and lose my house…and that is on the stupid fucks who voted for the idiot trump thinking he would only hurt people they hate…god, I hate those assholes…
