Well…if there was any day that I didn’t need to forget hitting the button on the coffee maker, this is it…and now I sit here waiting for the coffee to brew when I should have a steaming cup on the table giving me life…I must have grinded my teeth all night last night since my lower jaw is aching today and I just had to take something for it…darn…slept okay last night but I couldn’t get out of bed…just laid there for over a half hour I’m so damn worn out…and it’s after 7 already and I need to get on the bike by 7:30 to get the day started…okay, have coffee and it just highlighted how much my jaw hurts right now…owwwww….it’s only 30 degrees right now and I really don’t think we are going to have a spring this year and that is really depressing…I’ll be outside in half thermasuit today if I get out there at all…it’s supposed to be 49 for a high today and then cold and into the 30′s with a slight warm up coming Thursday….going to stop looking at the weather it depresses me so much…not much to do today…just need to drag my ass down to get on the bike in 6 minutes and I don’t know if I have enough fuel in me to do that…I mean one cup of coffee? Not enough….more later….

A pretty good day…
Well…had a pretty good day today and haven’t even had to take any painkillers for the teeth…and I even ate my normal two meals today…okay…a little pain just started so I’ll try to get ahead of it in case it gets worse…I did get a call from my dentist’s office today just to check on how I’m doing after all of the work they had to do to get the teeth out…and I thought that was pretty nice…I think they were a little surprised how well I’m doing…I did get three rides in today and one of them was even outside and it was nice to get some fresh air…didn’t see Stupid the turkey today but didn’t see a flat turkey in the road, either, so that was a good thing…and it looks like I’ll be able to ride outdoors at least once tomorrow but then the weather drops into the 30′s for a couple of days…it’s raining out here again right now and will be all night…again…so we’ll see if that keeps me indoors tomorrow…okay, just finished the first book and want to start the second one….
I was right…again..
Well…if you go back to the previous post, you’ll see that I made a bold prediction that after the 1,100 point drop in the stock market yesterday, we were going to see a further drop of over 2,000 points today…and I was right…again…the Dow crashed 2,231 points destroying over 13 trillion dollars in wealth in two days…even the NASDAQ dropped almost 1,000 points and these crashes puts us in bear market territory and, if you have a 401K, you have lost 15% of your money since the orange turd took office…and, as I said earlier, his stupid tariffs haven’t even started to destroy the economy yet and when they do, we’ll be in a full blown recession or even a depression..the last time we had tariffs like this, it caused the great depression in 1929…but idiot boy is fixated on tariffs for a reason that only his adderall riddled brain knows…and we all know there is no one in his corrupt administration that knows how to drag the country out of a recession…hell, they don’t know anything about anything…and we’re all going to feel the pain…geez..
Ha, ha…
Well…as I told you yesterday, there would be another bad day for the stock market today and it is…the Dow is down another 1,100 points so far today and I’ll bet it will be close to 2,000 down by the end of trading following the 1,700 point drop yesterday…and this is down 10% + since the orange idiot took office…and the NASDAQ is in full bear territory at a 20% loss since the stupid asshole took office…so the “great businessman” that you maga dolts voted for is killing the economy and I really hope you assholes pay for this…oh, and China just matched the 34% tariffs that stupid put on them…the economy is going to pay for this stupidity in the next quarter when there will be no growth or negative growth and the job cuts will be coming soon…and the rest of the world will be laughing at us as they forge new trade alliances and figure out that they don’t need the US at all…and this is all the repubs fault…I can’t wait for the 2026 elections when the unemployment rate is over 10% ad we’ve been in a recession for more than a year…geez…
April 4th
Well…I guess the two day rule works for jaw pain as it does for the rest of my body…my whole face hurts this morning and I’ve already taken some pain killers to try to cut it a bit….man, I feel like crap today and I’m still grinding my teeth like crazy and I wonder if this is going to be the new normal? I sure hope not….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I’m not going to do much today with how I feel right now…I do need to go out to pick up two prescriptions after I get a ride or two in and I am going to try to get an outdoor ride in this aft…I am already tired of having to take tiny little bits of food and keep the sockets from filling with it…and I have 6 months of that crap to get through….yeah…I do sound depressed because I am…it’s April 4th and it’s only 31 degrees here and there is no warm up in the forecast so that is depressing, too…it may get into the 50′s today but then back into the 30′s and that is just wrong…oh, well…not much to do today….just going to survive the day with how I feel and get on the bike here in a few minutes…more coffee first….more later…
I told you this would happen…
Well…I think it was yesterday that I told you that the idiot trump’s imposition of his stupid tariffs was going to crater the stock market and I was right…the Dow was down almost 1,700 points today and the futures are looking like this is going to continue tomorrow…since the idiot took office, the Dow is down almost 5% and many of the companies that are part of the Dow averages were down over 10% today destroying trillions of dollars of wealth and hitting everyone’s 401K like a punch in the face…and the real effect of these stupid tariffs is yet to come as inflation will soar and people living paycheck to paycheck (most trump voters) will go hungry and lose their homes since there are no support programs left after the repubs and musk cut them all…so this is what you get maga voters…you did this to us and you still support this ignorant asshole who can’t even balance a checkbook let alone run the US economy…I really do hope you starve so there will be less stupidity and hate in this country…geez…
Hit the wall…
Well… after feeling okay this morning, I hit the wall this aft and my energy levels dropped like crazy…it was all I could do to go down and get the laundry and make my bed…and eating lunch was a huge pain both figuratively and literally…had to try to keep the food away from the sockets and keep it in the middle of my palate but I slipped up a couple of times and now the lower left one is bleeding again…I do need to eat, though, with only about 800 calories total in the past two days…and my back hurts for some reason along with my jaw…I know why the jaw hurts but not my back so I’ll probably have to heat it later and I took some ibuprofen and tylenol and I’m waiting for that to kick in…think I’m going to makes some mashed potatoes this aft so I’ll have something soft to eat…it is a pain in the butt how small the bites have to be now…oh, well…I’ll live through it…
6 trillion dollars…
Well…the idiot trump upped the trade wars yesterday by imposing tariffs on the entire world that is going to cost American consumers over 6 trillion dollars…a “trump tax” that is going to raise prices of everything everybody buys and fuel runaway inflation that will cost the average family thousands of dollars a year…living paycheck to paycheck? Start thinking about what day you aren’t going to eat every week…and one unintended consequence of these stupid, stupid tariffs is that countries around the world are forging new trade alliances that bypass these tariffs…and the poke in the eye to the idiot trump is Mexico and Canada teaming up to work with the EU and the UK to cut the US off completely from exporting to those counties who are our biggest trading partners…there is going to be a bloodbath in the stock markets this morning since idiot boy announced the tariffs after close of trading yesterday just so the crash didn’t happen while he was announcing them…so if you have a 401K, you are going to get screwed by trump this morning…how do you like that maga folks? You can consider this another “trump tax”…did you vote for 40% higher taxes? Yeah, I’m laughing at you idiots,,,I really do hope a lot of you go broke and lose your houses…nothing else will drag your asses out of your delusions…geez…
April 3rd
Well…damn, my jaw hurts from all of the wrenching on it yesterday and I only had a little over 400 calories for the day so that is why I feel so darn worn out today…okay, having 4 teeth removed and 2 1/2 hours in the dentist chair has a part in that, too…so I don’t know how much I’m going to do today…already took ibuprofen and tylenol for the pain but it’s not too bad…just want to get in front of it and make sure it doesn’t get really bad…the bleeding has stopped but the lower left was bad all night with huge clots shedding all night…ick…I am going to have to try to eat something today and I think I’ll try some battered pollock I got at DD with some steak fries…I did take a container of soup out of the freezer so I’ll have something easy to eat tomorrow…it’s only 33 degrees out here right now so any rides will be indoors today but I have no schedule at all…I should take the prescription of tylenol 3 in and drop it off so I can have that in reserve even though I don’t need it…not much to do today…just going to take it easy for a half hour or so and then get on the bike around 7am…just can’t force myself to eat anything yet and that will be a hard thing to overcome….more later…
Teeth are out…
Well…I was damn surprised to get a call from my dentist asking if I could come in today to get the teeth removed that we had planned for Friday…and I jumped at the chance so I didn’t have to think about it for two more days…it took 2 1/2 hours which was over twice what they had scheduled for Friday so I’m glad to have it done and be done with dental appointments until October 6th when I go in to get scanned for the partials…then 10 days and I’ll have them and this nightmare will be over…so there will be no meal tonight as I let the blood clot and the pain go away…my face is still numb since they had to give me the max numbing to get through and not be in pain for the whole thing…man, I’m worn out…and I’m having cocktails tonight…
