Well…don’t ever let any repub lecture you on the rule of law ever again after the debacle that happened in the senate yesterday when 45 repub traitors voted to not even have a trial again for idiot boy’s second impeachment. So now I guess it’s okay to send a mob in to try to kill your senators and representatives….and your vice president and not be held accountable for it. This shouldn’t be a surprise since they didn’t hold a trial but just a vote for the idiot’s first impeachment when there was overwhelming evidence that he committed many, many crimes…but, while we probably won’t get a conviction this time, with the dems in charge of the senate there will be a trial and there will be witnesses and evidence presented and we need to expose how many of these traitors we in on the plot to overthrow the election….and to tar all of the repubs for supporting trump and letting him off both times. Cripes, I’m an old guy and I can’t remember a more craven un-American bunch than the current crop of repubs…when I was a kid, they at least had principles….but no longer…and they all need to go…

January 27th
Well…feel pretty lousy again today and I know part of it is only taking in 500 calories yesterday…just had a pork chop for lunch and nothing else for the rest of the day and I’m going to be paying for it all day today….I think I slept okay and didn’t get up til 6:30 but I still feel like I have a cold…lungs are filled with crap and my nose is plugged up and am exhausted…and I have the grocery run to do today but that’s it…signed the papers for the loan on the house yesterday and feel pretty good that I’m only paying 2.25% and that makes for a 350 dollar a month house payment and I can swing that pretty easily….now I just have to wait til I close on the deal in three weeks or so and I can start moving….I did get the house cleaned up yesterday and I had to shovel the snow twice so I am still sore from it…looks like I won’t have to do much today and I need a day like that to relieve the stress from everything going on….was really concerned I wouldn’t qualify for a loan with only SS for income but it all worked out….not much to do today…just the grocery run and no bike ride with the ice and slush on the roads…I may be able to relax a bit and that is welcome….more later…
I’m getting too old for this crap…
Well…man, I’m getting to old to shovel snow I think….just finished the driveway and sidewalks and I am damn sore from it….and it’s still snowing so I’m going to have to do it again later today…that is one good thing about the new house….no driveway…just about 6 feet to shovel in front of the garage door to get the car in and out…but that’s if they plow the alley that the garage is on…if not, I may have to buy a snowblower to keep the alley clear enough so I can get in and out…but with a two stage that should be pretty easy…but that won’t be till next year…this year will just be shoveling…and more pain…
It’s so nice to have trump gone…
Well…does anyone else hear it? The wonderful silence of a twitterless idiot boy? I guess some his former aides are saying that trump is stewing now that Fauci is telling the truth about trying to be forced to lie for him….and you can see it in Fauci’s face that he relaxed with Biden in the WH and the re-emergence of an emphasis on science again…and trump is still really pissed that he can’t tweet to “set the record straight” when Biden told the world that there was no vaccine distribution plan that was left behind by trump’s cronies….you know what else is nice? Having competent experts being appointed to run the government instead of incompetent lackeys…oh, and no lies from the WH briefing room…just information that the country needs to know so everyone knows what is going on. I don’t cringe anymore when I get up and look at the news in the morning, either…since I know Joe is a decent man who would never do any of the crap that trump did daily…and I am even a little excited about the progress that Joe has made in just 6 days…the country looks and feels like a better place already and will continue to get better every day with Joe in charge…and now I’m a homeowner and it looks like I’ll make the deadlines for moving…all in all things are looking up…one more move…
January 26th
Well…man, I feel run down this morning…but I did make it all the way til 6 with not waking up so I guess that’s something….and the shoulder that I got the vaccine in is better…yesterday I had pain all the way down my arm to my wrist which is not much different than when I get a flu shot so no big deal…and I got scheduled for the second dose on the 14th of Feb and a week after that I should have full immunity….I sure hope I do since I have to move soon after that…my stress levels have started to decline a bit with getting the news that I am approved for the loan for the house…I am meeting with the mortgage broker today to sign the papers and give him my financial information….but then I have a few weeks to pack and take it easy until the final push to get moved….I do need to clean this place up since the broker is coming here today but I have all day for that and it should only take a couple of hours…it snowed last night so it looks like no bike ride today…I was a little relieved when I rode yesterday that the lube fixed the problems I was having with the drive train but the shifter was frozen up after washing it and putting it in the garage…but that fixed itself after a couple of miles and I got a nice ride in….not much to do today…just cleaning and hanging out but that is all I really want to do right now…more later…
Yow…
Have been running around all day getting the paperwork necessary to get the loan for my new house…and I am approved for the loan by the way…and when I was in the car I noticed that hmmmm…it had no gas in it after running out to Hastings and then to Muskegon and back and doing errands…so I stopped at the new gas station at the end of Valley to fill it up…to explain the yow, the gas tank on the car holds 10.9 gallons of gas and when done, I had put almost 10.6 gallons in it…so I had about a quart of gas left in the tank…probably shouldn’t run it down that far anymore with the car getting older and the tank probably has some crap in it that I don’t want to suck up in the pump….this was by far the most gas I’ve ever put in it at one time…so again…yow…
I guess when you run out the clock, it’s all good…
Well…hey, I guess the new word from the supreme court is that if you run out the clock until you’re out of office, it’s all good and you won’t be held responsible. Just today, the SC dismissed multiple lawsuits against the idiot boy for violating the emoluments clause of the constitution (you know the one where an elected official is not supposed to take money from outside the government while in office that trump did every damn day)…saying that the suits were “moot” since he is no longer in office….giving him a pass on all of the bribes he got by renting rooms in his hotels at inflated prices to foreign governments and from these same governments renting office space at one of his buildings. Now, I think the SC missed an important chance to clarify what is legal and not legal in the way of these direct payments and you have the trump crony justices to thank for it…I guess he did finally get some “help” from his justices…they just saved him from having to pay all that money back…what a bunch of crooks….
January 25th
Well….that’s a little better…slept all the way through til 6:45 but I am still exhausted….and my shoulder hurts where I got the shot yesterday but it’s no worse than a flu shot so I may live….I think I’m more mentally exhausted than anything else…looking for and buying a house is a lot of work and there is more to come with the closing that will be coming up this week…I just need one more day of doing nothing to recover from the shot and the stress…with the snow yesterday, I didn’t get on the bike but I did get the drive train lubed so it won’t make that awful popping and grinding sound it was making sat….and I may have to do a double ride today since I won’t be getting on the bike tomorrow with the snow that is on the way…possibility of 6 inches of snow overnight tonight so I think I’ll just hunker down here and do nothing for a day or so…don’t need to do the grocery run tomorrow with someone winning the big mega jackpot Friday so I’ll wait til my normal day on wed…not much to do today…going to just take it easy and have more coffee and start to think about packing….more later….
Got my first vaccine…
Well…went out and got my first vaccine dose this morning and it was pretty painless…both in the process and the actual shot. Got there at 9:45 and was back here by 10:30 and the worst part was the drive out and back with the roads pretty greasy…they had a dozen vaccination stations and were moving people through pretty fast and I think this is the first shot ever that I didn’t feel at all…they must have super sharp needles or something…and I got the PFizer vaccine and a card that shows that I am vaccinated and will probably put that in my wallet from now on. Have to wait three weeks for the next one and then I’m done…it’s been an hour and 15 minutes and no adverse effects so I guess I’ll make it…
January 24th
Well…damn, another 4:54 morning and I tossed and turned all night so I am just worn out today…and I still have to complete my check in online for my first vaccine dose that I am getting at 9:45 this morning…still have a lot of stress now that I have a house and need to work out the logistics of getting the rest of the closing done and start planning the move….still going to be close to be out of here by the 14th of March but I think it can be done…need to get out on the bike today after just doing a short one yesterday since the drive train needs lube to quiet it down and I need to do that before I go out to get my shot this morning so it will be dry for the ride this aft…man, I could take a nap right now….and my heel has started to hurt again for some reason and I’m just shaking my head about that…and I have gained some weight with not riding…even with not eating much and that sucks….not much to do today…can I take a day off after the shot? I sure need one and I think the stress level is going to continue to rise until I am completely moved…but then I’m going to take a couple of months off as I get used to the new digs…more later…
