Well…damn, my mouth just frickin hurts again today and it’s been more than a week since the work and I really am worn out from it…sitting here in pain is getting overwhelming and I’m not sure what to do about it…have already taken some ibuprofen and now I wait for it to work…I think I’ve lost 5 or 6 pounds from the pain of eating and that is going to continue until it stops…oh, well….need to get on the bike in 20 minutes or so and I’m running late already…should have gotten on the bike by 7 but just couldn’t do it without coffee…want to get two rides in before I head out to run errands this morning…it’s damn April and it’s still not going to be over 50 today…and that is just depressing…when are we going to have spring? Never, I guess….had to call on the assholes to the south of me after they were thumping the neighborhood yesterday and I am so damn tired of that…I’m tired of just about everything…my damn body is giving up on me and it’s not going to get better and that sucks…need to get moving right now so I’ll end here…more later…

My jaw still hurts…
Well…damn, it been a week since I had the dental work and jaw still hurts like crazy but I’m lucky that 200 mg of ibuprofen cuts it…I did make a BAH today on the grill so I won’t have to cook for a week or so and that will give me time to work on the yard a bit and get back to the library since I finished off the last of four books today…and I just filled out my absentee ballot for the May millage election and will pay my water bill when I drop it at the drop box…then two blocks to the library…not sure when I’ll get back outdoors on the bike but it will be warm enough tomorrow if the rain ends soon enough…okay, the laptop just told me it needs to restart so I think I’ll let it right now…
Spine of steel?
Well…just got online for the first time this aft and guess what I saw? the spine of steel in trump turned into spaghetti and he put off the tariffs effect for 90 days…now it really doesn’t sound like countries were “kissing his ass” as he said last night…it looks more like they were kicking his ass and he got nothing in return for not imposing them…now he’s just back to attacking China again by raising their tariffs…but they only count for stuff they sell us so they will just move on to the rest of the world to sell to…what a maroon…geez..
Kissing his ass?
Well…addressing some of his repub donors last night, idiot boy bragged that countries are calling him up and “kissing his ass” to get him to remove the tarriffs he put on the world…yeah, that’s a thug talking and I guess no one told China as they just slapped 84% tariffs on all imports from the US…and maybe they missed the EU, too as they have identical tariffs on the US as idiot boy did to them…and I guess no one in Canada is taking trump’s calls as he tried to get talks going with the new PM and his response was that there was “no point” in talking to idiot boy…and we know the real reason for all the tariffs…they don’t make economic sense so why? As I see it they are just an insecure bully trying to be important since the entire world is starting to ignore him and he can’t take it…what other reason does he have to lie about countries “kissing his ass” than that? I really do hope the ignoring continues until he can’t take it anymore…geez…
April 9th
Well…damn, still have pain in my mouth from the dental work that was done a week ago and it is taking a lot out of me…feel so damn worn out that all I want to do is melt into the couch…but I’ll get on the bike here here in 25 minutes to get the day started…and I have to hit Menards along with three grocery stores and I’m not sure I’m up to it…hope the bike does it’s magic and gets me out of this funk…20 minutes to go….pouring coffee down and I’m not sure if it’s going to be enough today…didn’t get anything done yesterday but bake bread but today is going to be a busy one with needing to make a big ham, mashed potatoes, and gravy…I’m going to be exhausted by noon today…hell, I’m already exhausted and I think I’ll have to shift into go slow mode to survive it….going to get my flower and veggie seeds today at 10 cents a pack at Menards and will probably start to plant them as it warms up outside in a few days…want to get some perennials so I don’t have to plant every year but I’ll take annuals if I can’t get them….not much to do today…yeah, that’s not true…have way too much to do today and I’m not sure how I’m going to do it…just suck it up I guess….more later…
A good target for doge..
Well…with elon and his unqualified minions running around cutting “waste” from the federal government, I have a target for his doge cronies…as you’ve probably read, there are plans to have a military parade for the anniversary of of the founding of the army…but to hear idiot boy’s aides, their purpose for the parade is idiot boy’s birthday sine the army was not planning anything other than small celebrations on army bases around the country…but lying as they always do, idiot boy’s minions said the idea is really the army’s and they really didn’t realize that it coincided with the idiot’s birthday…and here’s the kicker…amid all the talk about cost cutting, this Russian style military parade is going to cost at least 100 million dollars…how many people could be housed and fed for 100 million dollars? A whole damn lot of them but we know they don’t care about containing costs…just the costs of things the repubs don’t like…when they kneel to their god emperor and it costs 100 million, that is what they think he deserves…god, I hate these people…geez…
Don’t feel like politics today…
Well…have the two rides in and the sourdough in the oven finishing and I think that’s going to be all I do today other than read…oh, I do have to do the grocery list but that should take about 5 minutes so that’s not too much of a job…should clean the bathroom and kitchen some and I probably will after I make lunch and the oven cools down…still having to take ibuprofen for the pain but I think it’s slowly getting better…the bread looks really good and I have it figured out, a skill I never had before and that’s pretty cool…I do still have the weight work to do later but reading is going to come first…okay, the bread has 3 minutes left until it’s done so I need to give it some attention….more later…
April 8th
Well…damn, my jaw still hurts like crazy and it’s been a week since I had the dental work done and I need to figure out how to stop grinding my teeth to stop it…don’t feel as lousy as I did yesterday but I still feel pretty crappy but I’ve only been out of bed for a half hour and haven’t had any coffee yet so that could be why…it looks like a repeat day today with temps still in the 30′s so I’ll do two indoor rides and bake bread this afternoon…even had to make some pour over coffee since this is a coffee leftover day and I barely had two cups to have and that is not nearly enough…need to put the grocery list together but I really don’t have a lot of stuff to get other than the BAH that will feed me for a good week…I think I’ve got enough gas to heat it on the grill but I’ll have to get a refill next week…starting to be able to chew more normally as the pain subsides from the sockets and I really hope the new normal allows me to eat better…damn, it’s already 7am and I need to get going but I wonder why? I could wait til 8 to get on the bike and I’d still be done by 10 so I think I’ll have at least one more cup of coffee and sit here for at least a half hour….more later…
An easier day…
Well…took an easier day today with just doing two indoor rides since it never got out of the 30′s here and I just didn’t want to be that cold…especially in April…I did use some of the sourdough starter that I fed yesterday to make the dough for a loaf I’ll bake tomorrow but I’m not sure if I can even eat it yet…I guess we’ll see…going to have another cold one tomorrow so I’ll be inside for one more day then I have to start working on the yard and ride outdoors….felt really crappy when I got up today but two hard rides fixed that along with non stop eating all day since I was way under on calories for 5 days in a row and that is not good for me…okay…I have a weird science fiction movie called “Mickey 17″ that I want to watch…
Missed it by a bit…
Well…okay, I’m the first person to admit he’s wrong…I missed the stock market prediction from earlier today…in the first minute of trading the market was down by almost 1,400 points but it rallied and now it’s only down by 1,000 points…and yes that is sarcasm…and thousand point drop still means the market is down almost 5,000 points in the past three days and the tariffs have just started to kick in…one thing I forgot about was how much damage was done to farmers the last time idiot boy started throwing tariffs around…I mean having to bail out farmers to the tune of 30 billion dollars and with the new 25% tariffs that China has just levied, there will be no market for any grain or bean that is grown here…oh, and do you know about potash? It’s a component in fertilizer that we get 90% of from Canada…and it’s now 25% more expensive and that will break a lot of farmers here…you know…the idiots who voted for the idiot in chief…wreckage everywhere…geez…
