Well…that was a little better…didn’t wake until 5:41 and stayed in bed til after 6 but I was not good last night and I wonder why…just feel lousy this morning and don’t like that at all…and I have a new crack on my right heel that hurts like crazy and I hope I can heal it up before the move in two weeks…I did decide to get out Monday to buy some plastic totes to help with packing for the move since I don’t have any boxes here and I will need some storage since the new house doesn’t have a lot….should be able to pack the entire kitchen in two of them and then use lots of garbage bags for the rest of the house…just like I did in the last move….I am a little excited that I get the second vaccine dose tomorrow and will be almost immune by moving day…and the vaccine protects you from dying from the virus even if you do catch it so that takes a load off…I did get out to shovel the driveway and walks yesterday and got some packing done and it looks like snow again today so I’ll be out there again…and it’s going to be the coldest night of the year tonight with it getting down to -1 but I’m sure the car will start with it being garaged….not much to do today…just packing and cleaning and watching some soccer….more later….

Trump’s in trouble in Georgia…
Well….holy crap, not sure if you saw the report on Rachel’s show last night where she had a district attorney from Georgia on talking about idiot boy’s attempts to coerce the SOS there to “finding” 12,000 votes so he would have more than Joe and all of the other actions he took to try to steal the election there…she talked about the criminal charges that were possible and that there are a few ongoing investigations from multiple agencies that could result in felony charges…and while she didn’t mention trump by name since she couldn’t, it was clear that trump is in trouble in Georgia and there is a very real possibility of an indictment…and, if trump is charged, then Lindsey Graham should be, too, since he did exactly the same thing…trying to get votes thrown out and “extra” ones found for trump. I’m not sure if we really need to be concerned that idiot boy will run again in ’24…not sure if felons can run for office…I know they can’t vote so he can’t even vote for himself….go Georgia…
Humanity is back in the WH…
Well….I don’t mean to gush about the Bidens but damn, it’s nice to have humanity and decency back in the WH…just this morning when there was a photo op with Joe and Jill talking about Valentine’s day…one of the reporters shouted out that she would bring donuts if they would come back out to talk next Friday, too…and Joe noticed that the reporter didn’t have any coffee on a cold day in DC…so Joe walked over to her and told her he hadn’t had a sip of his coffee and handed it to her…telling her that next week they would have enough for everyone….that goodness and humanity is just who Joe is and it is such a great thing to see after 4 years of trump being an asshole to the press…Joe understands they have a job to do and if he’s honest with them, they will be fair to him…and to see the press treated as equals is such a return to normalcy that even that little thing of giving the reporter his coffee seems like a really big deal….keep at it Joe….
February 12th
Well…damn, the string is broken and no more precessing….didn’t wake up at 2:14 like I was heading to…I did wake up at 2:20, though…and yeah, that was snark…then got back to sleep til 5:30 and stayed in bed til 6:30 so it wasn’t too bad…and I was good last night and that may be turning into a habit…would like to go a week or so just to see how I’ll feel and that just may be possible…feel pretty good this morning and just looked outside and there is no snow so that is a relief….it’s going to be damn cold the next few days but not a lot of snow in the forecast so that’s a good thing, and we are moving toward March which is supposed to be warmer than normal so maybe we’ll survive another Michigan winter…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but packing and will continue that today have almost all of the downstairs done and now I need to start packing up my tools that I have from working on this house and get them ready to work on the next house….I do feel like I have one more house in me and I am looking forward to transforming the next one into something cool that will be uniquely mine….and working on my own yard….have been thinking about planting some apple trees in the top part of the yard but I know I won’t live long enough to see the apples, but that will be okay…the next people to live in it after I’m gone will have a treat….not much to do today….just going to try to finish up the packing in here and start on the kitchen…have way too many dishes that I don’t have any place for at the new house but that will help me slim down to keep only what is necessary….more later….
He’s a damn criminal…
Well…almost forgot to come here today with all of the packing and cleaning I’ve been doing but I did remember so here goes…no matter how much the house impeachment managers prove that it was trump who ordered the attack on the capitol, the chikenshit, corrupt repub senators are still going to let him off since they have no patriotism or moral fiber. So, now, according to them, it’s just perfectly fine to send a mob of killers to try to kill his own vice president and the speaker of the house and any other legislator that they might have found…and to a person, every damn one of the attackers said they were waiting for the go signal from trump and they got it on January 6th….so where do we go from here? When we have one political party that is so scared of the Qanon people in their party that they won’t even condemn a criminal who tried to have them killed? I think the entire presentation the dems put on over the past three days should be forwarded to the DC prosecutors and let them indict the idiot boy…after all, it is a crime to commit sedition and try to overturn the results of an election…and this HAS to happen to make sure that the idiot trump never can get back into political life….he has almost destroyed this country with the help of the rest of the repub party…and this country will not be safe until they are all gone….damn criminals, all of them…
February 11th
Well…this is a little weird…my wake up times have been precessing for the past three days…two days ago I woke up at 5:14, yesterday, I woke up at 4:14, and today I woke up at 3:14…I damn well better not get up at 2:14 tomorrow morning…what’s next? Not sleeping at all? I was good last night and survived a boring night but have been so damn cold the past couple of days that I ended up shivering in bed last night…and pretty violently, too, but I was able to shake that…ha, ha…shake that….by just breathing into the covers for a few minutes but I am still cold again this morning and I m getting damn tired of how cold it’s been…haven’t been able to get on the bike in over a week and I feel damn sluggish from it…didn’t get much done yesterday but talk to the mortgage folks and I have been pushing them to get the closing scheduled earlier than the 23rd which will only give me a couple of days to prep for the move on the 27th….so I may have to move clothes and stuff afterward since I’ll have two weeks until my son gets here….I am going to get my second covid vaccination on Sunday and I am looking forward to it to finally put an end to worrying about getting sick, but that will take a couple of weeks after the shot which will be before the move so that timing is cool….not much to do today…just packing and more packing and a little soccer….more later..
trump should be in jail….
Well…not sure if you’ve been watching the trial in the senate but all I have to say is trump should be in jail…after the evidence that has been presented so far, there is no damn way that any senator should vote to acquit this asshole but they still will since the repubs are so damn corrupt that they will do anything to damage our country and democracy…and the asshole senators who were all a part of it, Cruz and Hawley aren’t even watching the House impeachment managers presentation but are sitting in the gallery smirking and reading…and not paying any attention at all. This is all I have to say to any damn repub…don’t ever talk about your law and order bullshit again if you do not vote to convict this criminal who tried to destroy this country….and this isn’t even enough…trump needs to go to jail…and right damn now….god I hate repubs….
The appraisal is in…
Well…just a short one….the appraisal for my house came back and it is worth exactly what I paid for it…and with even paying 10K over asking price, I made out okay….and, even though I won’t be selling it, knowing that I’m not underwater on it from the start is pretty cool…and with housing prices increasing at almost 10% per year…for now anyway, it should be worth 120K or so when I croak…and I should have it paid off by then….and my kids will get 30K each from it….never thought I’d be able to leave them anything….
Some good news…
Well…finally got some good news this morning from the IRS…no, they didn’t say they would send me the 600 dollar payment, but they did say they are sending me the instructions to file a tax return to get that payment and the 1400 dollar one that is being debated in the congress right now…so, a little work for me but I am going to look at filing it for free online…and that money will buy me my new washing machine, lawnmower, and pay for my house insurance for a year…so at least that saga is coming to a close…and the appraisal for the house should be in tomorrow and then we can close early next week…and I can get the utilities transferred into my name and get started moving…so there is some good news finally and I can get going on the move and the rest of my life….I can’t believe I am almost there….
February 10th
Well…crap, crap, crap…..back to waking up at 4:14 and a major part of it was that I had the worst case of acid reflux that I can remember and had to eat a bunch of antacids before I could lay back down….and I never did get back to sleep so I gave up and got out of bed around 6….I did get some news on my ongoing saga of trying to get the 600 dollar check that was supposed to get to me at the end of last year…got a call back from the IRS yesterday and need to call them back this morning…but I know what they are going to say…that they sent the check and it was cashed so there is nothing they can do…I am surprised that I got some action from Pete Meijer’s office…oh, and I got an e-mail from Debbie Stabenow’s office yesterday, too, so I need to follow up with them after I talk to the IRS this morning…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and all I have to do today is pack more so that is what I’ll do….I am hoping that I get some word on the closing date on the house soon so I can get the utility stuff done soon and then start making the trips out there to clean before I get too much stuff in the house…..more later…
