Well…I finally got some work done today with running out to the bank to order my Pounds and Euros for the trip that I will pick up next week…when I got back here I made a quick lunch as I was doing two loads of laundry and then went out and picked the last of the tomatoes, carrots, and parsley and took the plants down except for the peppers since I still have a Jalapeno and three small green peppers on the plants…will take them down next wed to get them out for pickup…going to make tomato sauce tomorrow to put in the freezer if it comes out okay will probably put a little Italian seasoning in it along with the last small green pepper I have…didn’t work out last year but we’ll see this year…

August 31st
Well…damn, the moon looked cool this morning and it was so damn bright…and it is cold today in here…only 68 degrees and that is real close to having the heat come on….it’s only 46 outside so I won’t be doing anything out there for a while….I am still really sore from the exercises so I may skip the morning ones today to heal up a bit…didn’t get a thing done yesterday but I do need to go out and get the money for the trip ordered and drop off the water bill…but I sure don’t feel like doing anything right now so I’ll have coffee and just sit here for a while…it’s almost 8 and I did get some laundry in already but that was a lot of work and I don’t want to do much more right now…allergies are just really bad right now and I have been coughing a lot with my eyes just so dry that I have been putting eye drops in them….just feel pretty crappy right now and I even had to put long pants on it is so cold in here….not much to do today…have to figure out what to eat today and I know it’s going to come out of the freezer but I’m not sure what yet….and I want to pick the last of the tomatoes…so maybe I’ll just eat tomatoes today…who knows? More later…
Ha, ha, ha…Rudy…
Well…how far is ole rudy giuliani going to fall? All the way to his final resting place in hell I hope…and the latest is that the judge overseeing the civil suit the Georgia poll workers filed against him has just ruled a default judgement against rudy since he didn’t provide any of the discovery that the judge ruled he had to…so now the suit still goes to trial to determine how much he is going to have to pay them…oh, and rudy even admitted that he defamed them repeatedly so it’s going to be more money than he has even if he sells his 6 million dollar NY house…I wonder how he looks in the mirror in the morning….he could have had a pretty nice life if he wouldn’t have hooked up with trump…and again, everything that trump touches dies….bye, bye, rudy….geez…
August 30th
Well…running a bit late this morning with not getting to this until 7am…and I am still sore from the new exercises…hurt just about everywhere and should take something for it before I have to go for the appointment at 10….had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get anything done but I need to get going on cleaning this place up today and running some tomatoes through the food processor to make some sauce before they spoil…going to take the garden down over the weekend so I can put it out next week for pick up…didn’t get much out of it this year and I won’t experiment next year…if I even have a garden…not sure where I’m going to be living or if I’m going to be living…the cancer could still kill me and I’m so tired of being in recovery…maybe I’m just getting old but life sure seems like a lot of work right now……I did marinate some chicken thighs last night and will be cooking them today…was going to grill them but I think I’ll just put them in the air fryer to make it easier….not sure what I’ll make with them since the potatoes are sprouted…maybe I’ll hit Meijers after the rehab appointment this morning…it is going to be cold tonight…down to 48 degrees and I’m sure the heat is going to come on for the first time in August…and then next week it goes back up to near 90…weird, weird weather…more later…
The new exercises hurt…
Well…after having two days of the new exercises in, I can say they hurt…a lot…my hamstrings are howling in pain from the new stretches and my back and sides really hurt from the twists she has me doing….and I still have another set to do later in the afternoon…it now takes me almost an hour to do all 9 exercises…have the next to last appointment tomorrow morning and then the last one next Tuesday…and I am going to get back on the bike next Tuesday, too…not for 30 miles but I am going to ride a bit just to take a look at the trail to see what has happened in the past 6 weeks…right now I’m going to turn some soccer on and take it easy for a bit…did the grocery run today sine I have the appointment at 10am tomorrow morning…
The two parties are not the same…
Well…you know, I am so damn tired of people saying they are not going to vote at all since both political parties are the same…I wonder if it is willful ignorance or if it is just them trying to fake being cynical that will make them look cool…and you just have to look at the news announced today to see how wrong they are…just today, the Biden administration announced the first ten drugs that Medicare is going to start negotiating prices on…in just those ten drugs, Medicare spends 50 billion dollars a year…yep, that’s billion with a b so if they can get a 50% reduction, or to the price in other countries who don’t allow the price gouging that the repubs have written into the laws here, this one thing could save people on Medicare 25 billion dollars a year since a lot of these are barely covered as it is…have you ever seen a repub support saving ordinary citizens this much money? No, you haven’t…I’ll save you the work of going out to look…if it doesn’t give tax cuts to the rich or corporations, they hate it…so voters, just vote on this one issue if it’s too much work for you to look for all the ways the Biden administration is working for you and me…but don’t vote for any damn repub…geez…
August 29th
Well…damn, firefox just dumped the post I was working on so I need to start over and that sucks…up at around 6 again today so that is about normal for me lately….slept okay but still feel pretty worn out and it may be that I only had a half bowl of the chicken masala and a couple of small tomatoes and that is only around 700 calories…I did get the nice surprise that my rehab is ending next week since my tech said I’ve gotten as far as I can with them and now it’s up to me to continue to improve by doing the exercises…with the new ones they added yesterday, it will take me an hour twice a day….I did thaw some chicken thighs that I need to get in a rub today so I can grill them later in the week and that will be a change from the chicken chunks I have been eating…I do have way too many tomatoes and I need to process them into a sauce with some onions and oregano…have a couple of green peppers from he garden to put in, too, and then I can have sauce to add to other meals over the winter…not much to do today…it looks like it’s going to rain for a bit but the thunderstorms they forecast are not coming and that sucks…just going to sit here for a bit and have more coffee before I get going…going for what I’m not sure of right now, but something…more later…
One more week of rehab…
Well…just got back from rehab and the tech I’ve been working with thinks I’ll have all of the tools I need to finish so next Tuesday is the last appointment…only 80 more bucks out of pocket for that so that will be a relief…got 5 more exercises to do on the portal and will get a few more and now all I have to do is do them…worked hard at today’s appointment and am feeling it in my legs and I’ll do that again later today…even got a massage on my right leg since Allison thought it was tight and needed some work…it does feel better so that’s cool…not sure what I’m going to do the rest of the day…should clean a bit and I probably will…more later…
August 28th
Well…damn, it got down to 50 out here last night and I really thought the heat was going to come on…and it still might…not sure where the heat went but 50 in August? I’ve never seen that before and I’m older than dirt…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and need to clean today but I don’t have any motivation right now…have a rehab appointment at 11:45 today but I’ll only do two more and then I’m done…not getting much out of it and at 40 bucks a pop, I’ve put in too much money for nothing….okay, the little weather widget at the bottom of my screen now says “record low” and I wonder if it’s for last night or tonight? Okay, just looked at the weather and it must be for last night since tonight it’s supposed to be 61 tonight…going to start taking the garden out today…or maybe wait one more week…not sure…I do have to figure out what to do with the tomatoes I have…I may seed them and put them in the food processor to make sauce but I don’t have any room in the freezer…probably should take the chicken thighs out so I’ll have something to eat this week…need to clean the fridge out soon so I’ll have nothing in there to spoil when I’m gone….not much to do today…just the rehab and some packing but right now just some more coffee and to sit a bit….more later…
Go NLRB…
Well…yeah, this one is a little in the weeds and I almost forgot to do one on it today…over the weekend, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that if a company gets caught union busting, they will automatically be forced to recognize the union and to start negotiating with it…and this should put a stop to the bullshit that Starbucks is still pulling by closing stores where the employees start to form a union…and it will stop companies like Amazon from firing workers who are involved in organizing the company…they are not supposed to be able to do that but no one is enforcing those laws…maybe now the NLRB will grow a spine and level the playing field across this country…
