Well…that was a little better…didn’t get up until 6:40 this morning and the extra sleep really did help…my intestines are still in a fit, though, and I’m trying to figure out why that would be….really tried to eat more yesterday but I’m finding it to be harder than it should be…maybe I’ll start the day with some toast and peanut butter and then try for a big lunch…need to do something…had an okay day yesterday but it was pretty boring with no soccer but that re starts this weekend and that should help…didn’t get much done and didn’t have to and have decided to wait until after I do the big meal Thurs to clean the kitchen…I do need to get the fridge ready for that one so that may be the project for the day…hey, I just realized my neck doesn’t hurt this morning…weird….it looks like a normal day today but no pool with Tom having to work so I will have another day of just hanging around here…more later…

Now for something lighter…
Well…haven’t been feeling too well the past couple of days…especially last night when my intestines were screaming at me all night and I had to take a bunch of stuff to try to alleviate it…it’s better today but there is still something going on…doesn’t feel normal and I think I need to eat more today….but, that’s not what this is about…I refuse to write anything about the stupidest person on the planet today so I thought I’d lighten it up a little and get my weird credentials back….I think I’m shrinking…have worn 32 inch inseam jeans since I stopped growing in my teens but, with the last pair I bought last year, they are just too damn long and I am walking on the bottom of the legs…so, I went out to Target this week and bought a pair of 30 inch inseam ones of the cheap Wranglers that fit me so well since they don’t make them in 31′s which would be perfect….after I tried them on, they were okay but it seemed a little short so I got my problem solving hat out and it hit me that I could stretch them just a little which would make them 31′s…so, yesterday after I washed them, I hung them on my shower rod wet using pants hangers and then used another one to hang my bucket with 5 pounds of potatoes in it…it’s so damn funny that it worked great and now I have jeans that fit perfectly for only 20 bucks…and a little thinking…I told you this was going to get my weird credentials back…
November 18th
Well…running a little late even with getting up at 5 and I blame the newspaper…felt like crap last night and I’m not sure what that is about…my intestines were and still are giving me fits and the only reason could be not eating enough…or a bug maybe? I think I have been overestimating the calories in chicken lately…you know, you would think I’d have that figured out by now…and that goes for veggies, too…all I know is I need to eat much more today since I’ll be getting out on the bike as soon as it’s light….slept crappy again last night…oh, I wasn’t going to bitch about that anymore…so I won’t….was so sore yesterday I had to take some ibuprofen last night and that seems to have helped some with my neck…I can move it this morning without much pain and that is a plus…and it helped with my legs, too so I may try that again before I get on the bike…my legs have been dead for almost a week now so I think I’ll have some toast before I go out and see if that helps…not much to do today…didn’t clean much yesterday and I think I’ll wait on the kitchen until after t-day…so that means the bathroom needs to be done so I don’t feel guilty about not doing anything again today….more later….
Get rid of your best general because the other side doesn’t like her?
Well…damn, there are times when I just shake my head at the stupidity of some of the dems in the House who are saying that Nancy Pelosi shouldn’t be the next speaker of the House because the repubs will attack her…hey, guys…where the hell have you been for the last 40 years? The repubs only attack people since they have nothing else…no legislative accomplishments other than tax cuts for the rich…do you think that anyone who is a dem speaker not Nancy Pelosi won’t be attacked? Look…we won this election not on bipartisanship but on issues that matter to the people of the country…issues that the repubs don’t give a damn about but will lie through their teeth saying they will work with the dems on but why should we? They have shown they are all liars and cheats and need to be dismissed until they show by their actions that they care about making the country better for everyone…not just the rich. Until then, we just need to ignore them and everything they say…at this time in this country’s history, we need our best general running the House and that is Nancy Pelosi…she doesn’t care that the repubs don’t like her…why should we? No speaker of the House or minority leader has done more to keep the party together and get us back into power than Nancy…now we need to have her back…geez…
November 17th
Well…back to an almost normal schedule this morning with getting up at 6 or so…for the second time…the first time was 3:54 and that gives me 5 hours of sleep and I guess that is about par for the course lately…I am sore everywhere again this morning and I think it’s from riding in the ice yesterday that took a lot of effort…and it took all day to get warm and dry from it…but, it looks like it is dry out there this morning so all I have to do is wait for the sun to come up and I can get going today…didn’t get much done yesterday but I do need to clean today and get the kitchen ready for t day….did a bunch of cooking yesterday so I won’t have to do any today or tomorrow…need to manage my leftovers so I can clean the fridge before Thurs, too….not much to do today…need to watch some football but there is no soccer so the morning will be a little boring until I can get on the bike….more later…
These are adults…
Well..have been listening to the newly elected house dems and an immediate thought struck me…these people are adults and are really looking out for the people of the country…not just the people who voted for them like the repubs, but for all the people…and are going to stop the rapid decline we’ve had since the repubs have been in charge. Okay…now, I understand that only having one branch of government is hamstring them trying to implement their popular policies, but if we look at the long game…and I hesitate to call it a game, progress can be made by just passing popular bills on voting rights, infrastructure repair, and equal rights and having the repub controlled senate reject them all, the dems are setting the conversation for the 2020 elections where there is a very good chance we take all of the branches back after the debacle of trumpism. Oh, I almost forgot we have the added bonus of getting to the bottom of trump’s criminality….so, I guess there is a reason to smile today…not a big smile…maybe just a smirk…and that is progress…impeach…
November 16th
Well…another day of getting up at 5 and and another day of being a little depressed with it snowing 3 inches again last night…just not ready for it to be winter already…slept okay but I know I have a little cold and I am feeling it this morning…so I will be taking it easy for the day and just cooking and doing the bike ride…the modifications to the hat worked like a champ and kept my ears covered through the ride so that is solved and it is making me smile a little…I did get the run to Mt. P in yesterday and the car stayed cozy and dry even though the snow started about 5 miles after I left to come home and it was pretty messy…had ice about an inch thick on the front of the car when I got back and just had to post that to one of the Miata sites I belong to…didn’t eat enough yesterday with all the traveling but I will fix that today with chicken for both lunch and dinner…I think I have enough to get me through til next thurs…will be eating out of the freezer until then to make room for the leftover turkey after I get tired of it…I do have a couple of errands to run this morning to get some stamps and some more of the generic flonase that works for my allergies…along with my Mega tickets so I can dream a little tonight…more later…
November 15th
Well…running early again today so I thought I’d come here before I go out to do the grocery run…slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning and it may be I have a cold…sure feel like it…coughing again and my head is plugged up so we’ll see how it goes as the day goes on…got a few things done yesterday and I need to make a run up to Mt. P this morning so that will be all I do today…other than ride the bike when I get back…I did get my hat fixed so it will keep my ears covered and I am curious to see how it hold up to riding…looks pretty geeky but if it works, who cares? Getting all the stuff I need for t-day today so the turkey can thaw in the fridge until it goes in the brine next wed….going to do the normal methods for the turkey since I have refined it over the years and makes for a juicy bird….and I am looking forward to it…need to make sure there are no leftovers in the fridge by wed, too, since it will be all turkey, all the time for a few days after thurs…more later….
I think it’s finally starting to sink in…
Well…with the idiot trump blowing off all of his duties and being a general ass to everyone he comes into contact with, I think it’s finally starting to sink in with idiot boy that he is totally screwed with the dem takeover of the House and the looming indictments coming from Robert Mueller. I am trying to stifle a laugh right now at the vision of trump pacing the WH and hurling insults at everyone that works for him…always the asshole…and we now are seeing the absolute distillation of trumpness…the real, ugly moron who is at the point where he can’t even put one sentence together and who scowls at everyone in Paris until his buddy Putin shows up and he grins like an idiot at him…acting like a puppy who’s owner just came back from a long trip. Even with all of this, it is going to get much, much worse and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the idiot stroke out…not that I wish dying on anyone..even someone who is as evil as trump….it would just make a good excuse for trump to cut and run and resign…declaring himself the best president ever….he might just as well book himself a room at a New York state prison…that’s where he is going to end up after he is out of office and there is not one damn thing he can do about it…okay, now I am going to laugh….impeach….
November 14th
Well…that was better…slept okay last night and only woke up once at 5:04 but then fell back asleep until 6:22 and I feel better for it…so that means I’m running a little late after getting the first read of the news done and pouring the first cup of coffee….I did get my back to crack again this morning so that won’t be hurting today and that makes for a good start to the day…but, everything else hurts but I’m not going to bitch about that since I did it to myself with a hard bike ride yesterday….it was really slick on the trail so I had to be careful on the turns and today should be a little icy out there with it getting down to 25 last night….so the ride will have to wait until this aft…still haven’t adjusted to the cold yet and I hope that happens soon…I think it took all day to warm up after I got back here…didn’t get anything done yesterday but run some errands and that looks like the plan for today….have to hit the daily deals store to start getting the stuff I need for t day….I mean an 8 inch pumpkin pie for 99 cents? Can’t pass that one up…more later….
