Well…have been screwing around trying to get myself scheduled for a covid vaccine for the past damn week and finally…I was able to get the mychart app to work so I could access my account at Spectrum health and get that done this afternoon…still going to be two months til I can get one since they don’t have any but I’m now registered everywhere so I’ll get notification as soon as one is available…spent the whole damn day on it and found out that my colon cancer test came back negative so I can breathe a little easier…but I have lots of other tests that need to be done but I’m not even going to think of those until I get the vaccine….now I need to get back to finding a house….

A small bit of good news…
Well….with all of the crap going on in my life right now, there was one small bit of good news that came in my electric bill yesterday…ever since I moved in here, my bill has been over 100 dollars a month and a lot of that was the downstairs project that I had going until a couple of months ago…the last one before I shut it down was almost 120 bucks and I was curious how much was the project, and how much was just normal electrical usage…so, when I opened the bill, I was pleasantly surprised with the small bit of good news that came in it…only 48 bucks and I think there may have been a little bit of the project still in it so I may see normal in my last bill here next month….I needed a little good news….
Repub congressmen were in on it…
Well…as more and more info comes out on the attack on the capitol, the news today would be shocking if we hadn’t seen how the repubs have acted since trump lost the election, trying to overturn the results and steal it for trump. Now we hear that some of the repub congressmen were walking the ringleaders of the attack around the capitol on the day before the attack, letting them take pictures and showing them the layout of the building…and these same people were essential in the whole “stop the steal” movement, helping organize rallies and speaking at them. Now, this is the definition of treason…helping an enemy attack the US and these assholes need to be identified, expelled from the House, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law….and that means execution…normally, I’m not a big fan of the death penalty since it has been disproportionately used on people of color…but in this case, trying to overthrow the government is worthy of the sentence…this is the modern repub party, folks…traitors all….
January 13th
Well…running a little late this morning and I just can’t get started…still depressed about losing the house yesterday but I am only going to let that affect me a little while longer…need to move on and keep putting one foot in front of the other…slept okay last night and made it all the way til 7 in bed…woke up at 5 but didn’t get up til 7….was feeling like I was getting a bug yesterday and I still feel like I have a cold or something and usually get at least one every year so I’m not too surprised…don’t feel bad enough for it to be the flu or anything else so I guess I’ll just take come vitamin C and hope that helps…it could also be that I’m not eating enough with only one meal for the past three days in a row and I’m sure that 800 calories a day is not enough to feel good…didn’t get on the bike yesterday but I am going to do two laps of my 6 mile loop today since it’s already 33 out there and that’s warm enough to go….I do need to clean some today but that won’t be til later…I do need more coffee and to catch up on the news and I need to register to get the vaccine when it’s available…so that will give me something to do this morning….more later…
No bank for you….
Well…who would have thought that being the worst person in the world would have some fallout? I was laughing yesterday when Deutsche Bank announced that they would no longer do any business with the idiot trump, his idiot kids, and the trump organization…so no bank for you? Deutsche bank was the last bank that would launder Russian money to give “loans” to trump and the idiot boy has over 300 million “loans” from them that he personally guaranteed and that are coming due year after next….and no damn way to pay them back. So, this on top of the hundred or so indictments that are waiting for him after the 20th is really going to drive him further over the edge…oh, and the PGA has removed the PGA championship from one of idiot boy’s tacky golf clubs after he incited his thugs to attack the capitol on the 6th…so chip by chip reality is intruding on the asshole in chief…and it couldn’t happen to a more rotten person….
Snyder is going to be charged…
Well…have been sitting here wallowing in self pity after just losing another house today and now I’m kicking myself in the butt for it….I feel somewhat ashamed when this is on the same day that my friend’s father died and I feel so bad for her….and I need to get off my ass and get back to work here…so, here goes….the news just came out a little while ago that there are going to be criminal charges against former governor Rick Snyder and some of his cronies for poisoning the water supply in Flint that led to lead poisoning and an outbreak of Legionairres disease that killed a bunch of people…and all that just because they just didn’t care and they thought Michigan should be run like a business by businessmen who do nothing but cut costs with no thought of the consequences to the people of a minority majority city. The really sick thing is they knew it was happening and kept it secret for months as the poison was spreading through the city…and they were warned that what they were going to do would be dangerous but, again, they didn’t care and would have kept doing it without the brave whistle blowing of a doctor who had seen the same thing in another state. I’m not sure what the charges are going to be but I hope there is at least one felony in there for all of them for the damage they have done to a generation of Flint’s residents…lead damage is more terrible for the young people and it can cause lifelong learning disabilities that Snyder didn’t care about…I hope he goes to jail….
This sucks….
Well…this really sucks…the house I wanted in Muskegon was sold this morning and now I don’t think I’ll find one in time to be out of here in March….man, I’m depressed….
January 12th
Well…feel pretty crappy this morning and I think I have a cold…darn…slept okay but I think I didn’t eat enough yesterday with only having a meal at lunch since I didn’t get on the bike…just couldn’t do the cold….I think I may have found a house but it’s out in Muskegon and I’m not sure how I feel about that….only 89K and it’s 2,000 sf with a garage big enough to hold two Miatas…small lot but only 2 miles to a cool bike trail that would take me out to Lake Michigan…and, I don’t see anyone around here anymore so leaving GR isn’t that big of a deal…so, I think I’m going to drive out to take a look at it today….after I do the grocery run so I might not get on the bike for a second day….and I may even offer less for it if I like it…has been on the market since November and they may take 85 for it…and that would make the payments only about 350 bucks a month….and I can swing that…I do need to not get my hopes up since houses always look better in the photos….didn’t get anything done yesterday and I think it’s from being depressed about my housing situation…just can’t get motivated to do anything right now….not much to do today…just going to look at the house and then take the rest of the day off….I am prepping myself for more disappointment….more later….
Nancy is not screwing around…
Well…I think it’s about time that we on the left started to grow spines and respond in kind to the crap coming out to the right…and I am happy to say Nancy Pelosi appears to have taken that idea to heart yesterday and today when she sent a letter to the house members letting them know she is asking Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment and remove trump from office, and if he doesn’t, she will bring the first article of impeachment to the floor of the house on Tuesday that specifically deals with idiot boys incitement of the attack on congress on the 6th of Jan that led to the deaths of 6 people. I’m sure Pence is going to do nothing since he couldn’t even be bothered to return Nancy’s calls on the 6th so the vote on the second impeachment of idiot boy is going to happen tomorrow. One little thing that was buried at the end of the letter was that she wanted to discuss the 14th amendment with her caucus and that should be sending chills down the spines of the repub traitors that went along with trump’s efforts to overthrow the election results since she specifically mentioned article three that deals with the expulsion of members who are part of the traitorous group that did it….last used to throw out supporters of the confederacy after the civil war…and that would be fitting since these repub assholes really are supporting people who took confederate flags into the houses of congress during the attack. I think every damn one of them need to go since they gave aid and support to internal enemies of the US by lying about “voter fraud” that does not exist and that includes both Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley in the senate who knew they were lying to the American people and were doing it just for personal gain…it is going to be interesting to see where this goes over the next few days…the idiot boy has proven he is the best at something…getting impeached for the second time in a term…never happened before….geez…
January 11th
Well…damn, running late again today and it’s just because I can’t get going…no motivation at all and I wonder why that would be…probably because I’m running out of time here and that is pretty depressing…there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel with my heel since I can put a little pressure on it this morning and the pain seems to have changed to more of a dull throb than the sharp, piercing stab that it was…but, it still hurts to walk and it appears that both feet hurt from all of the favoring I’ve been doing to my right…will probably take a while to get my gait back to normal…I did get a bike ride in yesterday and went pretty hard but I need to up the mileage…6-8 miles is just not enough…I may go over to take a look at the trail this morning and see if any of it is passable but it’s been so cold overnight that there hasn’t been much melting going on…and the bike lanes on the road are clear…for now…so I don’t have to think much when I’m riding and that’s the only way to clear my head on the bike…I think I’m begining to be a slug with not getting anything done for another day yesterday…I know it’s hard to walk or stand with the foot pain but I need to drag my ass up and get going today….at least to start packing for the move…going to try harder today with the improvement in my foot….but not right now…need more coffee and to tread the news first…my last little luxury and I’m not ready to give that up yet….more later….
