August 16th

Well…running about on time today with waking up around 5 and then lying in bed until almost 6 and I feel okay even after all the work yesterday….today will be easier with just the zoom meeting at 9 and then the rest of the day is open and I do need to start figuring out what to pack for the UK trip…I did find the small bags to use inside my suitcase for t-shirts shirts and shorts…I need to buy another pair of jeans and some new bootie socks to use to go with all of the compression socks my daughter sent me…and I have to remember to buy some new earplugs for the plane and sleeping in strange hotel rooms…should probably put a list together for all of the things to do so I can stay organized….had to make two calls on the assholes last night and I will be going over to the cop shop to put in a formal complaint next week so the cops can then start watching the house and cite them for a public nuisance and disturbing the peace…damn, I’m working too hard on this….not much to do today…just the meeting and then maybe the grocery run after if it doesn’t go too long…but right now I need to have more coffee and read some news….more later…

An easy day turns into a busy day…

Well…the plan for the day was to just run an errand early to pick up some top soil and pretzels from target and then just take it easy…but when I got back here and finished my coffee, I took the soil out front and planted some grass seed in the spots that have died during the drought out here…and then did the weed walk after I finished that, had lunch, and then noticed I had an hour before soccer started so I decided to mow the lawn and got that done before two…then some phone tag to get the zoom meeting set up for 9am tomorrow and I was finished around three…but that was a long time after the 9am that I had planned…but I only have the grocery run to do tomorrow after the meeting or I may just wait to do that til Thursday since I like to get the run done really early…I do want to make the chicken masala in the instant pot so I’ll need to get some ginger and some other stuff for that….but, right now it’s after 6 and I am done for the day….

Finally, Georgia drops the hammer…

Well…it was a bit of an exciting day yesterday waiting for the indictment of the idiot trump an his cronies and when they dropped last night, it was all that was expected…idiot boy was charged with 10 more felonies bringing the total that he is under to more than a hundred and one of them in Georgia is a RICO charge that carries a mandatory 5 year sentence that can’t be bargained away…and every damn one of the conspirators including rudi, meadows, and 17 more have been charged…and they have to turn themselves in on August 25th to be cuffed, printed, and have mugshots taken….and it is all going to be televised and I can’t wait to see that…it is so funny how the magats are trying to spin this one…with ole lindsey crying that it is all politics…first amendment something, something…hey, lindsey, they are coming for you next…these charges are going to decimate the Georgia repub party since almost all of the people running it have been charged with a crime…and that makes me smile…here in Michigan, we have charged a lot of the leaders of the repub party as part of the fake electors scheme and they will be going away for years….a good day for democracy…finally…geez…

August 15th

Well…damn, it’s still raining out there and it has been since about 3 yesterday afternoon…and it looks like another hour or so until it’s over so the mowing will have to wait til tomorrow…had a waiting day yesterday and didn’t get much done as I sat here waiting for the nurse to call me back and reschedule the zoom meeting…oh, well…used some new roll on cooling stuff for my sore neck and it seems to have worked okay…still hurts but I can move it better so that’s a plus…going to use it again this morning so I don’t have to move my whole body to move my head…it’s 60 degrees with heavy rain right now and we have a flood watch on…it looks like we had more than an inch of rain overnight but I have no problem with that sitting up on my little hill…not sure what I’m going to do today…still working on leftovers that my daughter left here two weeks ago but those will be finished in a couple of days so I’ll have to cook again…I feel like I’ve gained about 5 pounds of the ten I wanted to so I’ll have that done before the trip…still look too thin but I’m getting there…not much to do today…just going to ease into it and wait for the reschedule as I have lots more coffee….more later….

Still waiting…

Well…still waiting for the call back from the nurse to reschedule our zoom meeting and maybe I’m a little too nice about that stuff…nope…I can afford to be nice if it will help a busy person get through an emergency…but the thing I’m really waiting on is the indictments that are going to come out of Georgia by Wednesday…from news reports, there are around 20 more people along with the idiot trump who are going to be indicted which means his whole inner circle is going to jail…please, please make it lindsey graham, too since he was involved in making his own phone calls to the officials in Georgia…and rudy is done along with meadows and all of the lawyers…especially john eastman who hatched the entire fake electors scam…and the thing I think is funny is that here in Michigan, our AG Dana Nessel has already indicted the fake electors here and just because she didn’t indict trump, it all flew under the radar which I’m fine with…there is no possible way idiot boy is going to beat the 80 felonies he has already been charged with and Georgia could add a dozen more…and if Willis goes with RICO charges, on conviction that is a mandatory 5 year prison sentence that the repub governor cannot pardon away…so, I sit and wait today…it is a little bit of a pain to just wait…but I guess that’s my day today…I did get my electric bill and gas bill on auto pay and now I just need to do that for my 5th third card and the water bill and this whole place will be automated for the UK trip…

Well…crap…

Well…this day is going to try me as it goes along…first, the nurse called me when the zoom meeting was supposed to start and said she had an emergency and had to reschedule so I’m waiting on that phone call right now…and the power supply to my laptop just quit but luckily I had a spare and I’m back up and running again on this old thing…just don’t like typing on my tablet…kind of cumbersome and slow…and with the new power supply, the screen is bright again and I hope it stays that way…probably should order another battery before the trip…and, of course, the rain is falling apart before it gets here so instead of a soaking , we might get a sprinkle or two…that means I can mow the lawn early tomorrow and get that out of the way…so now I sit and wait…more later…

August 14th

Well…that was a really crappy night of sleep and I’ve been up since 4:05…really worn out and I really need to get moving since I have a zoom appointment at 8:45 and need to shower and clean up a bit before then…and read whatever new message is out on my UofM mychart….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and probably won’t get much done today and I am hoping we really are going to get the rain we’re forecast to get…but it looks like the force field is working again and the rain is going north and south…so I may be able to get the lawn mowed today….my neck still hurts after three days and I think I may have to take something for it today…the voltaren works a bit so I may just keep that up for today and see where it goes…need to get out for another walk today after doing 5 miles yesterday…picked a couple of milkweed pods on the walk yesterday and I am going to try to plant them at the back of the house for the Monarch butterflies and I may even see if those seeds are available at Menards…not much to do today…still in leftover mode from when my daughter was here but that ends over the next few days…so I’ll need to do some meal planning this week…but right now I need to get on mychart to see what is going on…more later…

Another lazy day…

Well…haven’t gotten a lot done today but I did get out for a 5 mile walk through the city and saw some cool stuff that I posted out on Mastodon…much more fun walking with my mp-3 player than without it…and I do like my Fila walking shoes…they have memory foam in them and are so light I can barely feel them on my feet…and they should pair up well with my new sketchers that I am going to break in over the next month….have a zoom meeting with a social worker/nurse tomorrow morning so I’ll need to keep the cocktails to a minimum tonight….it looks like it’s going to rain in an hour or so and it is forecast to rain all day and night tomorrow with the possibility of an inch and a half of rain total for the day…so I’ll wait to mow the lawn until Tuesday…but right now, the race is on and will take up the rest of the day…

Stupid criminals…

Well…it has been clear for quite some time that trump an his cronies are not too bright, but the latest news out of Georgia shows that they are just stupid, stupid criminals…if the reporting by the NYT is correct, Fani Willis has text messages from rudy and the rest of the conspirators that show they were all in on the scheme to breach voting equipment after the 2020 election…and how much you want to bet they were involved with the idiots here in Michigan who stole voting machines and broke into the software trying to change votes to the idiot trump…if this is true, the grand jury is going to be busy when Willis starts presenting evidence tomorrow…and we may see indictments by the end of the week that should include RICO charges that will add years to any sentences that these morons get…going to be a good week for the rule of law in Georgia…and they should lock these assholes up awaiting trial….and one little note…the sheriff of the country has said these idiot will be treated just like any other criminals with handcuffs, mug shots, and fingerprinting so trump won’t be able to just waltz in and out like he’s done before…good!

August 13th

Well…damn, running late with not getting out of bed til 6:47 and I am having a hard time getting started today…and I am really sore from sleeping wrong the past two nights and I need to not do that anymore…will probably need to take something for it today and I don’t like to do that…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done…I am going to put my walking shoes on and get a walk in through downtown today since I need to get my legs toned up for the UK trip that is only a month away…still have leftovers to eat today so I won’t need to cook for a few days…I think I am gaining some weight and that’s okay since I am too thin…and I’ll be back on the bike when I get back so things will get back to normal…really can’t wait to get out again…not much to do today…going to ease into it this morning and watch some soccer in a while….need to get the windows open to cool it down in here since it is only 63 outside and I’m sitting here sweating already….more later…
