Well…I did get to the last one for the month and I’m not sure if I feel good about it or what…didn’t have as many fillers as last month so maybe my head is starting to work again…I did find it funny the other day when ole Mitt was describing what his healthcare plan was…exactly the same as Obama’s but ole Mitt has no plan to pay for it…just like the two wars, the medicare drug plan…and everything else the repubs do…so who is more responsible? It’s just more of the same magical thinking that got us into the financial mess we find ourselves in…and, the rest of the ole Mitt’s agenda is just more of the same “trust us” nonsense they have pushed in Wisconsin and even here in Michigan…and how did that work out? I am just so exasperated that people find this kind of nonsense acceptable when they have seen the extreme right wing crap come out after the elections…do you think the repubs are going to change? Nope, not when they have billions of dollars coming from the 1% and corporations that will be used to lie, cheat, and steal…geez….

June 30th
Well…it was just another day yesterday…just like all the rest and it is getting old….but, what’s the alternative? Slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of so that’s boring, too…okay…this isn’t working right now so I’m going to stop here…need to take a shower and go out for the papers and then back here for coffee…
Okay…I’m back and feeling better after coffee but the brain still is not working as I think it should…or maybe my life has just become so boring that even I’m not interested….not sure what I’m going to do today…it’s going to be hot again but I don’t mind it too much even without the air on…I do have an errand to run this morning but that’s about it…and I do have to do one more to make the goal so I do have that to look forward to…and they are capping my internet usage starting tomorrow so I’m listening to Pandora and watching Netflix all day today to get my money’s worth….then, I may just cancel Netflix since I’m not going to pay more to the cable company just to watch….more later…
You know what this one’s about…
Well…just poured a cocktail and thought I’d sit down to do another one before the race starts…and you know what this one’s about….just trying to make the goal for the month but I do have some things to share…I haven’t said anything about the bike lately but I broke it the other day…the tube that the seat post fits in shattered and I had to drop it off at a welding shop to see if I can get it repaired…still waiting for them to finish it but if they don’t get to it soon I’m going to try another place…I did find a new seat post today so I’ll be ready when the bike is….but, I do miss the exercise and I have had to cut my calorie intake back by almost 600…and, in a 1,500 calorie diet, that doesn’t leave much for the day and I think that is going to leave me feeling like crap for a while…but, that is doable and the car is okay so I guess things could be worse…and, after this one, I only have two to do tomorrow…there are some things I do want to comment on so I guess I should get at it….tomorrow, that is…right now it’s time to just relax for a while and watch the race…
More lawlessness from the right…
Well…I marvel at times how the repubs became known as the “law and order” party when, here in Michigan, we have a repub AG that thinks he is the only person who determines what the law means…starting with the medical marijuana law (or I should say continuing with this law) which he opposed when it was put on the ballot a few years back, Mr. Schutte has formed a pattern of lawlessness that would make a bank robber proud. His latest nonsense came after the supreme court ruling on healthcare yesterday when he said that he would not take part in implementing the law saying that we should wait until after the election in November when he feels that the repubs will win the presidency and repeal the law. First, this man has a duty to all of the citizens of Michigan….not to just the hard right that he panders to on a daily basis and those of us that don’t have insurance would like the possibility of getting it that comes from the new law. Second, when did our constitution change to read that the AG could substitute his political decisions for the will of the people? The courts here have slapped this idiot numerous times, showing that he is not the great legal mind he thinks he is but just some overly political hack using his office to push his crazy far right agenda on the people. But, this is just the latest outrage from this man…and Governor Snyder should straighten him out today…geez….
June 29th
Well….it was a long day yesterday…I guess I say that every day…but the days just seem so long…and I do feel a little crappy today with breaking the bike a couple of days ago…I guess I could get the old Schwinn up and running again but I just don’t feel like it…I hope to get it back from the welder today but I do need to find a new seat post…why is is so hard to find parts in GR? I think I’ll kind of lay low today…the car was acting up a little yesterday but I think I figured it out…at least I hope I have….I do have to go over to Meijers today so I think I’ll look for a post there….maybe check out some bike shops later…but, right now I think I’ll drink more water and hit the couch…
Just an update…
Well…as you can see from the count, I am running out of time to get caught up for this month so I guess I’ll have to cheat a little and write another one on what has been going on…I did go to the beach today and got a little color…but the car ran a little hot and I am concerned that I shouldn’t have had the radiator flushed…the tube to the overflow tank was loose so it may have not had the suction to keep the radiator filled…and it was down a little when it cooled off so I think that may be it…the last car did the same thing so I’m hoping that I’ve figured it out…I did get some color but one thing I am a little confused about is why people with children, who have the whole beach to choose from, always have to set up right next to me and then scream at the top of their voices for hours? I don’t know if I’m getting more sensitive to this kind of stuff but I find myself annoyed when I’m around kids…that’s about it…. I won’t be back for another….but three tomorrow…
I’m stunned…
Well…just got back from the beach to the stunner that the supreme court has upheld the healthcare law with the chief justice being the swing vote that joined the liberal side of the bench in a 5-4 decision. Needless to say, I am stunned by this event since all of the pundits have been saying that the individual mandate portion would be declared unconstitutional…but, I guess all of the so called experts can be wrong. I am a little relieved that the law stood since it will help me to be able to afford insurance in a couple of years…it is still scary to be aging without insurance. I think I have to go turn the news on and then come back later to add to this one….
Okay, I’m back but with little more clarity on this whole issue…no one has a clue to what it’s going to mean…some say it’s a win for Obama while others say that it gives the repubs and edge since people across the country are not enamored of it…one other thing…the repubs are showing their true colors today by holding the AG in contempt of congress for the fake reason that he won’t give them documents relating to the “fast and furious” debacle…what they are truly after is to intimidate Holder to stop pushing back against the voter supression that the repubs are using to try to steal this election…..and they have been caught on tape saying that the reason they are pushing these laws is to get Romney elected….what a bunch of thugs and liars…geez…
June 28th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I feel pretty crappy today…and I broke the bike which has me depressed, too, but the shortness of this one is more related to to feeling crappy than anything else…I am thinking about going to GH this morning to sit on the beach for a while but I’m not sure I want to feeling this bad….more later after I can get moving and thinking…
June 27th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did accomplish a few things…you know about the car already so I won’t mention that again and I did sleep okay last night….no dreams to speak of so I won’t…and I do feel good today…so far…with being good for three days in a row…that string will be broken today since it is pool day and that means at least a few cocktails but I am going to be good today since I want to go to the beach tomorrow morning and get some swimming in….I am doing the grocery run today so I can get out the door by 8:30 tomorrow morning….it is supposed to be 97 degrees tomorrow and that is perfect to be at the beach…it will be good to start to get the color evened out and it would be cool if there are some waves….but, that is tomorrow…I will try to come back today for another one or two since the end of the month is coming up fast…
How about a part two….
Well..it has been another day and I did take the car in to have the coolant changed but it took longer and cost more that I expected by about 40 bucks since it was so bad…they had to run the flush 4 times to get the brown goo that was in the radiator and everything else out…and it took almost 2 1/2 hours for them to finish it…one good thing..it was so bad that they said to bring it back in 5000 miles so they can flush it again at no charge…so, I guess the waiting and the cost was worth it…I had never seen coolant so bad and it needed to be done so no damage was done to the car…they found what they thought were bb’s in the flush but I think they were the remnants of a water pump that went bad…probably the bearings that failed…it should help it cope when it gets to almost 100 thursday…
