Well….god, I can’t wait til these assholes are gone and trump is walked off to jail…in one last stab at the people of Michigan, trump told his minions to limit the amount of vaccine doses sent to Michigan…we have gotten 10 times less than red states and they are not even taking appointments for them until December of this year…so just because trump hates Whitmer, more Michiganders are going to die…and I could be one of them…hey Michigan repubs, what do you think about the asshole now?

January 17th
Well…running about on time for a Sunday this morning…got up at 6 and I’m finally getting myself moving after going out for the paper and having my first cup of coffee…coming back I discovered a package on my front porch that my daughter sent me…a new facemask and a couple of Under Armour hoodies that were too small for her husband but they look like they’ll fit me fine…first new clothes I’ve gotten in the past 3 years or so and they will come in handy in the spring when it warms up some and I go to a lighter thermasuit on the bike….slept okay last night but the string of no dream nights continues and that is a little disappointing…my heel appears to be getting better in small steps since I could put some weight on it when I got up today…still hurts but not nearly as much as it did so there is a little hope that it will continue to heal…I did go out to take a look at the trails yesterday and got about a mile before I decided to turn around and go back to the streets…just too icy and that makes the ride uncomfortable and I don’t want to have to work that hard….but I did get almost 10 miles in so that felt good….the work I did on the car to free up the parking brake worked and it released just fine today…and the front tire has held air since I worked on it Thursday so I guess it was just the valve that was stuck…not much to do today…need to look for houses all day along with watching Man U play at 11:30…don’t need to cook since I have leftovers that need to be used….more later….
Sliding into melancholia…
Well…with everything happening, or not happening on the house hunt, I’ve found myself sliding into melancholia today with that dead feeling that comes with it…and with it comes the need to listen to melancholy music to try to reset my semi functioning brain…it is in times like this that I’m really glad I live alone….just couldn’t give anything to anyone right now…and this time I reached back to one of my favorite albums and the first one I bought with my own money “Revolver” by the Beatles and the song “For no One”….one of my favorite songs of any Beatles song…a song about a break up where she’s getting over it and he isn’t…2 minutes and 1 second of perfection…back then I didn’t really have a clue what the song was about but I was in band at the time and it has a french horn solo in it that I just loved….I’m not sure what it is about breakup songs that speaks to me but this one and “Wasted Time” by the Eagles about a woman who is getting older and is going through another breakup and can’t believe it’s happening again….saw that one live here in GR and I will admit I shed a tear when I heard it…”you never thought you’d be alone this far down the line…” maybe it’s that the lyric describes my own life? Normally, I’m not a country fan but I remembered a song by LeAnn Rimes called “Probably wouldn’t be this way” about a woman who lost her husband and is struggling to try to get over it that I have to include in my wallow today…in the song, her friends and family can’t figure out why she can’t move on…but I get it…there are time when you just don’t get over it…an emotional punch stays with you for years even when you know logically that it’s time, but all you hope for is the pain to just fade a little…and like today, there are times you welcome it as an old friend…and a necessary part of your sanity….okay….it’s not that dark…I just needed something different to write about today…and I am melancholy….
January 16th
Well…hey, made it all the way to 6:23 this morning but I still feel pretty crappy today…slept okay but my head was so plugged up that I couldn’t breathe through my nose at all and that causes it’s own problems that I am still feeling….but that should get better as the day goes on…didn’t get out on the bike yesterday with all of the crap that was going on but I think the trails may be clear after the rain yesterday so I’m going to head out there when it warms up enough…but that won’t be til noon or so and I am going to take an easy morning to get ready for that….they have started running old cartoons on metv on sat mornings and that is kind of cool…when I was a kid that was the thing for getting up on sat…and Popeye is on right now…gives me something to watch until soccer comes on…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I’m going to clean and pack some today…and try to figure out what to cook for the start of next week so I can take it out of the freezer and thaw it…don’t have any room in the freezer so I really don’t need to buy any protein this week…just like last week….more later…
Gee, criming has consequences…
Well…this just makes me laugh so much…the morons that attacked the capitol on the 6th are really, really surprised that they are being held accountable for trying to overthrow the government and kidnap and murder people…go figure…and to hear them bawl that they didn’t do anything wrong when they are put on the no-fly list or arrested is the icing on the cake…and the great thing is, the consequences are just starting….as the conspiracy is revealed a bit more every day, there are going to be more charges coming….and every damn person who was at the capitol is going to have their lives ruined…as it should be and maybe this will shake some of the right out of their dream world of voter fraud and q-anon…and maybe this time some of the leaders who spurred these morons on will also suffer for it…with a new justice department not run by trump’s cronies is installed next week, a real investigation is going to happen and a lot of people are going to be looking for new jobs….when they get out of jail…
Another crappy day…
Well…running late for coming back here and it is because I went out to look at another house with my brother…what a frickin dump…99K and the garage was held up by a brick wall or it would have fallen over…when we walked into it, he looked at me and said nope…so we took a quick tour and left…so no house for me today…more looking ahead….I am looking at one that has the weirdest shaped lot…80 feet wide by 500 feet deep and tiny house but only 86k so maybe I’ll take a drive out to look at it tomorrow…supposedly appraised at 102k in December but no basement and a small garage, too….and the deal for it that was posted as pending back in December must have fallen through….so, back to looking tomorrow..still have a week or so to find something and still be able to get out of here…I’m a little depressed…
January 15th
Well….darn…up at 5:30 and today I knew there was no point to even trying to get back to sleep….but that worked out okay since I needed to put the recycling bin out and forgot to do it last night…slept a little crappy last night with a lot of tossing and turning and I’m feeling it right now…felt like the bug was going away yesterday but it’s back this morning and that is a little disappointing…but it is not worse so I guess that’s something…I may be able to get back to the trails with the rain and snow melt that happened overnight and I’m looking forward to that…riding on the road is okay but it is too easy to just do 6 miles and call it a day…I need more than that and I’ll be really happy if I can get back out there…damn, I wonder when my heel is ever going to heal? Still hurts like crazy today and now my gout appears to be flaring again…or it’s just from walking on the front of the foot for so long…either way I am so damn tired of it and have tried everything to fix it…might have to get some liquid bandage to pull the cracks back together and see if that will help….not much to do today…need to spend the day looking for houses so I can pull the trigger on one now….more later…
Busy morning…
Well…what a morning…with the Mega jackpot at 750 million dollars for tomorrow…I thought I’d go out and get tickets this morning so I wouldn’t have to go in the snow and ice tomorrow…and it didn’t start out good…for some reason, I didn’t remember to disconnect the battery Tuesday so the car barely started…then the parking brake was frozen up since I had not lubricated it this year so I could barely move the car as I went out to the atm to get some cash out…on the way there, the car was pulling like crazy to one side and I assumed it was one of the rear brakes still hanging up but when I got back here and started working on the rear brakes, I noticed that the right front tire was soft and that was why it was pulling so bad…I had just filled the tires Tuesday to get ready for the run to Muskegon that never happened so I’m hoping that it was just the valve hanging up…if not, I’m thawing my fix a flat so I can put some of that in it…might have to pull it off and look for a puncture…I’ve got material to fix it so no big deal….and my new compressor really fills it fast so that was cool….
The biggest loser in history…
Well….after yesterday’s historic vote in the House to impeach the criminal in chief…again…for trying to overthrow the government…and I still don’t know why he isn’t rotting in a jail cell right now, the idiot trump will go down as the biggest loser in the history of the country…and even 10 repubs voted for impeachment, the most of the president’s party in the history of the country. Look, and this could have been a dozen or more other articles and with a week left, I would not put it past the idiot boy to commit more impeachable offenses. Those of us with working brains knew this was going to happen at some point, you just have to look at how dishonest and amoral trump is…he has never cared about anything but himself and we tried to warn people about that…that he would run the WH just like he ran his businesses…right into the ground, lying, cheating, and stealing all the while…the sickening thing is that hundreds of repubs still support this criminal as shown by the speeches all day yesterday from them trying everything to excuse his behavior…but, in the end, the dems have come in…again…to clean up after the repubs crapping all over the country…and idiot boy will forever be known as the only *president to be impeached twice and that makes him the biggest loser in the history of this country…geez…
January 14th
Well…running a little late this morning even with waking up at 4:24…I did get back to sleep for a short time and got up for good at 6:30 or so and it’s taken me 45 minutes to get to the point I can think and do this…I do have a cold but don’t feel too bad…yet…just a little sore throat and coughing but not tired and I can still smell and taste so it’s not too serious….it ‘s working up to a month that I have been hobbling around with a crack in my heel and I’m not sure what to do about it…have been treating it with antibiotics and super duper heel cream but nothing seems to help….think I’ll look on the internet this morning to see if there is something else I can do…I did get a bike ride in yesterday but the trails are still covered in ice and snow so I was back on the streets again…and that’s not bad…at least I can get out and work up a sweat…with screwing around on the computer all day, I didn’t get much else done but clean the stove top…have to stop wearing my glasses around here…things look perfectly fine when I don’t but ick when I do….so more cleaning today and more house hunting….running out of time…more later….
