Well…i guess the repubs don’t have a whole lot to attack Kamala with so guess what they’ve landed on? Her laugh…because she is a normal person who laughs when she is happy or sees something funny…and I don’t see anything wrong with that…throughout misogynist cultures including the Taliban in Afghanistan and all of the other male dominated societies, a woman laughing is an issue of morality…where they see women who laugh or express themselves at all to be immoral…not for men, of course, they get to do whatever they want…but laughing is immoral for women…okay, I get it…just another way for men to control women…just like the repubs trying to control what women can do with their bodies…it’s all part of right wing men trying to put women “back in their place”…and take away their voice…literally by taking aim at Kamala’s laugh…I would rather hear millions of women laugh than the orange idiot utter another word…seeing people happy and laughing is what the world is about and is what we on the left are trying to do… to make this country a place where people are free from worry and strife and can be a human being…and that surely includes laughing loud and often…geez…

July 25th
Well…that was a little better…slept almost 5 hours last night but I still don’t feel like I slept at all…and I need to get on the bike in 15 minutes or so to get the first two rides in before I run out to get the prescription they didn’t have ready yesterday…still dreading how much it’s going to cost…oh, well…need to do some meal planning today and figure out what I want to cook…have some chicken thighs in a marinade that I want to grill but I’m not sure if it will be chicken tacos again or just with roast potatoes or maybe some baked beans…going to make another batch of potato salad since I got 3 pounds of potatoes for a buck yesterday and remembered to get eggs…the freezer is full again and I think I may have to start using all the canned goods I have on the shelf of the prep table…think I’ll dig through the recipes that my daughter left me and see what looks good…one of the squirrels took down one of my sunflowers yesterday but that’s okay since I planted the plants for them…going to tear out some tomato plants and put some more beans in place of them just to see if they will have enough time to come up…not much to do today…just the rides. cooking , and errand then I’m going to watch Olympics…need to get going…more later…
The Olympics have started…
Well…stumbled on the fact that the Olympics started this morning so it looks like I’ll get nothing done in the afternoons for the next two weeks…and that’s okay it’s only once every 4 years so I can take a little time to enjoy myself a bit…I did get three rides in and the grocery runs but they didn’t have my prescription ready so I’ll run out tomorrow morning and pick it up…still concerned what my end of it is going to be but I really need it so I’ll go up to a hundred bucks…I did remember to just order some more generic flonase since I’m down to my last bottle and don’t want to run out..and I remembered to order some new earplugs since I am almost out of the ones Tom got me…got 20 pairs of silicone corded ones for 8 bucks…I had a pair of these that lasted me years and they are washable so you can keep them clean…I still do have a pair somewhere downstairs and they just don’t wear out…so I can’t wait to get them…and I ordered another set of the flat, forged aluminum pedals for the black bike to get enough ordered for free shipping…will have to order the rest of the parts to put it back together soon…was just thinking about the antibiotic series they want me to do…I mean I’ve never heard of anyone taking antibiotics for 90 days and I wonder how bad that will be for my guts…oh, well…if it gets me over that damn infection, I don’t care…tonight and tomorrow are going to be the third and fourth night of no cocktails and I can already see that the swelling in my foot is going down but I may have to be good for a whole week to get it back to normal…and I can do that..
I can read the news again…
Well…these past three days have given me back the news since a lot of it is good for our side…I don’t remember the enthusiasm that is going on for Kamala right now for anyone else other than Obama…and sign ups of new voters it close to 35,000 a day since the announcement was made Sunday and most of those are 35 or under, a group that goes for dems by 80% to 20 and if that keeps up, we have a really good chance of winning this fall…and maybe even taking back the house and keeping the senate…then we can really get to work on shaping this country and driving a stake through maga’s heart…oh, and as people hear about the facist 2025 project their dislike for it skyrockets…up to 49 % disapprove now vs 10% a few weeks ago…so now we have to hammer them on it and tie that anchor to idiot boy’s neck…but not just attack the idiot, we need to compare our accomplishments to what idiot boy did in his term because we have policies that are very popular and the repubs don’t…so, I’m feeling better about the future since we now know the disinformation tactics that Russia is using to try to elect trump…again and we can counter them at warp speed…things are looking up…
July 24th
Well…darn, another fitful night of sleep and I was up 5 times for about 3 1/2 hours total…so there will be a nap in my future,,,it was the second night of no cocktails and my right foot is finally starting to show some results from it so I’ll take two more nights off before I have one cocktail night on Friday…didn’t sleep too well but i got into rem sleep and had some dreams late so I’ll take it…have to get going soon to get a ride in before the grocery run but I want to have at least one cup of coffee before I go out…the Olympics start today and the Us plays France in soccer this aft at 3 so I’ll be watching that and some rugby 7′s that starts today, too…still have a day or two of leftovers before I get back to the grill with the pork chops I took out of the freezer and I need to make more potato salad and potato soup, too before the celery spoils…I was going to work on the back door today but I’m not sure if I’ll have time to get that done before the Olympics get going…it’s going to be busy today so I should get going…more later…
What a day…
Well…what a day and I am exhausted from it..started out with the first ride at 6:45 and then to the dentist at 8:30 and I found out I still have infections in two teeth so they are trying antibiotics this time for 90 days until my next appointment with the periodontist…looked the drug up on good rx and had a huge shock…the price was from 1,799 to 3,500 dollars and there is no way I was paying that so I went over to Meijers to talk to a pharmacist and he told me that the price was wrong and he is sure it won’t be more than 32 bucks after medicare…he said he’d find the best price and charge me that…and I thought that was pretty cool…then back on the bike for two more rides and I was exhausted after not sleeping at all last night…I was good with no cocktails and I’m going to extend that til Friday when the Olympics opening ceremony is on…I need to get the swelling out of my right foot and taking time off usually works…need to do the grocery run tomorrow and I’m not sure if I’m going to DD to get some more boneless/skinless chicken thighs at 1.37 a pound…running out of protein in the freezer…I did grill some bacon wrapped pork fillets on the grill the other day and that is the only way to cook them…juicy and very tasty…and I’m getting 4 more of them tomorrow…if they have them…only a buck each…just a little over 2 bucks a pound…we’ll see…
She’s got the delegates..
Well…only two days in and the party that is supposed to be in disarray has closed ranks behind Kamala Harris and she has enough delegate votes to cinch the nomination at the convention in the end of August…no brokered convention, no bullshit…she is the nominee and more and more endorsements are coming in by the minute with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries announcing their endorsements this afternoon…there is excitement on our side that I haven’t seen in forever…maybe since Obama…and the people are following up with donations that are through the roof and may reach a quarter of a billion dollars by the end of the day today…and she showed her skills in a speech yesterday where she eviscerated idiot boy by saying she knows who trump is since she prosecuted criminals like him in a former life…you, know…I like the way she has fun both as VP and as the nominee…and it looks like she is hitting her stride at exactly the right time…and I’m sure she had a hand in Biden not meeting Netenyahu when he addresses congress this week…he should be arrested and in the Hague instead of in front of congress…go Kamala!
July 23rd
Well…up and down all night and a good part of it is that I couldn’t get comfortable with all the pain in my neck and back…an it is getting old that everything I do causes enough pain to be uncomfortable…oh, well…didn’t sleep well but I was expecting that with being good last night since I have a dentist appointment at 8:30…I do want to get a ride in before that so I’ll need to be out of here by 6:45…that does give me enough time to pour down two cups of coffee if I get on it right now…it felt good to finally get the door frame on the garage painted and now I have the one on the back of the house to do…not sure if it will be today, though, with the possibility of rain…the radar has the rain over in Wisconsin but I’m sure it will fall apart before it gets here…got down into the 50′s last night and it’s still there so the ride will be cool to start the day but that’s okay…maybe it will wake me up…going to try to treat my back with biofreeze before I go out…one weird thing…after I spaded the front walks last week,I haven’t had any pain in my right thumb and I can move it better…I wonder if I broke some adhesions and scar tissue in it…I’ve had constant pain in it since I hurt it 15 years ago so this is welcome…not much to do today…just the rides and dentist and then I’ll wing the rest of the day…at least two more rides and maybe I’ll do the prep work of the back door…we’ll see…more later…
Hurt myself today…darn..
w
Well…when I was out on the third ride today, my neck and left shoulder started howling pain at me and I could barely move my neck to look for cars…it seems be a little better now but it’s the same spot I hurt 6 weeks ago and it’s just not healing…darn…started out the day by getting on the bike for the first ride at 7am and then straight into ride two…home for a shower and then over to the library to return and pick up three more books…the back here and got on the bike for the third ride…then a quick lunch and out to work on the door frame of the walk in door that had started to crack and peel…so after I scraped an sanded it, I decided to paint it,too and finished that up around 2:30…after that I still had the weight work to do and got that done before dinner…so now it’s almost 7 and I think I’ll stop now and watch a little tv…I did race a cruise ship back to the docks and beat him by a mile…the ferry is much faster…
100 million dollars in one day…
Well…gee…I guess Joe did the right thing dropping out of the race and I hope he can finally enjoy being retired in January…over the one day since the announcement, Kamala has raised over 100 million dollars and has gotten the endorsements of almost all the necessary dems and I’m proud that my governor, Gretchen Whitmer, is one of them…and I have been laughing so hard that now the idiot trump is the old, infirm one in the race…oh, and the repubs have spent millions of dollars for t-shirts and other materials with attacks on Joe on them that are now useless…pretty damn funny if you ask me…and the excitement for this change that is palpable…and I’ve even succumbed to it a bit..I mean an African American woman is going to take down the idiot boy? People are thrilled with Joe doing the right thing…and the funniest thing is idiot boy saying that he is going to sue Joe for dropping out of the race since the repubs spent lots of money attacking him and now it’s worthless…too damn funny…
