Well…does it make me a bad person that I am smiling about the idiot trump’s meltdown on his failing social media platform today? I mean cripes, 60 posts before noon and most of them are Q-anon bullshit going back to 2017? There has to be some more legal crap that is going to hit the fan soon that he has been informed of as a defendant…although, he is just nuts anyway so anything can set him off….I really do wonder what kind of a life the idiot has now with the walls closing in on too many fronts to count and not having the protection of the presidency…which I thought was bullshit anyway…no one at any time should be above the law and use the office to continue to break the law like trump did and like Lindsey Graham is still doing…citing a law that his lawyers say prevent him from having to testify about his attempt to get back votes thrown out in Georgia. Yeah, I guess I’m a bad person since I’m still smiling and have added a little chuckle in there, too…geez….
August 30th
Well…damn, I knew that the sleeping all night was not going to last and it didn’t…up at 4, 5:14, but I was able to stay in bed til after 6 and I won’t call that a success….pretty damn depressed today for some reason and I know there doesn’t have to be a reason for that to happen…it just is…oh, well….have been really sore lately and in new places that normally don’t hurt so I wonder what that is about? Haven’t been doing much other than the normal stuff so it’s not from exertion…probably just from getting old and that sucks…got the itinerary for the UK trip from my daughter yesterday and we’ll be there for 16 days hitting all the places I wanted to see…I am looking forward to that a lot and it will probably be the last trip I ever take and that is depressing, too, I guess everything is going to be depressing now…we did get a bunch of rain yesterday and my lawn looks better than it ever has and that is pretty cool…but I have damn mushrooms or toadstools that have sprouted where there must be buried vegetable matter but I’m just going to kick them and mow over it…will probably have to do that tomorrow….not much to do today….need to get some bills paid and get the rest of them set up to autopay…and that will get me back to normal outlays after I pay my property taxes…have had a bunch of big bills over the past couple of months that have kept me from adding to my bank account and I need to start saving again so I can buy a new Miata in the spring….I wonder if I should borrow money to get a nicer one? Really hate to have debt….we’ll see….more later…
Didn’t go to the beach…
Well…darn, the day got away from me and I didn’t make it out to the beach since there is rain…there’s that word again…coming in here in a half hour or so and I still have laundry to do and I guess the smart thing to do is to just get to work and get that done along with the dishes and call it good for the day…just haven’t had any ambition at all today but I did get the pasta salad made…and ran an errand along with the two bike rides so I guess I did something….not enough, but something….so I think I should get off my butt and get the laundry started…
Shouldn’t this be a crime?
Well…as the noose tightens around the idiot trump and his cronies, they have started to threaten anyone and everyone who has anything to do with holding them accountable that there will be “riots in the streets” if trump is indicted and that they will investigate and impeach everyone if they take back the house. Now, isn’t this a crime? It sure appears that this is obstruction of justice and interference in an ongoing investigation just to mention two laws…both felonies by the way and Lindsey Graham is out there, scared shitless that he is going to jail, egging on the deplorables into starting a new civil war if he or trump get indicted…which they both probably will. Didn’t they learn anything from January 6th? That anyone pulling this bullshit again is going to jail…oh, that’s right, none of these idiots are very bright…and here’s the thing…if they would have held trump responsible at the start of this crap, he would be in jail right now and none of these bigmouths would be on fox news since their lawyers would be telling them to keep their traps shut….so indict these assholes already and let’s call their bluff…geez…
August 29th
Well..that was a little disappointing…it looked like we were going to get some good storms last night but all it did was flash a little and rain…I’ll take the rain anytime but that was the last for the whole week and that makes the weather boring…I did get another all night sleep last night and I wonder what that is about…didn’t get out of bed til 6:22 after hitting the sack at 11 and I should feel like I slept but I don’t, so what’s the point? I do have a few things to do today even with taking this last week off and that is a good thing…have to do laundry today and I may run out to get some burger at Meijers so I’ll have a second meal to eat…and I am going to make some more pasta salad since I like having that available but I’m thinking of making some potato salad, too….haven’t made enough of that but with eggs at 3 bucks a dozen, I may not….we’ll see….I am planning on going to the beach today after the bike rides but the Meijer run needs to happen before that so maybe no beach? Not much to do today…just need to get started and that is harder than it has been lately….it’s 7 and all I want to do is sit here but I know that’s not an option…living is a lot of work….more later…
It’s going to rain again…
Well…how many times this summer have I been able to say that? It looks like we are going to get some storms in a couple of hours and I can’t wait….I did get back out on the bike and it was so darn humid that I was sweating before I got out a mile and was soaked before I got back here and had to hose off the bike because I went out in the wet and it got covered in dirt which makes the shifter stick some and that is just annoying….other than that, I didn’t get anything done around here and I am thinking about taking one more week off and making labor day the start of work on the house…that would make more sense since the holiday is the official end of summer…okay, that’s a good rationalization so I think I’ll go with that….I did make some chicken for lunch but one thigh, two spoonfuls of pasta salad, and a sliced tomato is only about 350 calories and adding a salad to that for dinner keeps me well under a thousand for the day and I’m okay with that since I want to have some cheese and crackers for a snack later…and I may even have a cocktail to sit on the front steps and sip while the storms come in….we’ll see….it’s another week of no protein on sale at my grocery stores so it looks like I’m back to the freezer again…okay, Aldis does have burger for 2.29 a pound but you have to buy 5 pounds so maybe some tacos and burgers to use up the tomatoes and have food to eat all week…don’t like to eat red meat that much but I can put most of it in the freezer and hope that DD has something on sale….Meijers does have whole chicken for 1.49 a pound so maybe one of those instead? Oh, and just looked at the ad and they have burger buy one get one free so that may be the thing to do. Have to think about that….okay, that’s enough for this one…have to figure out what to watch while relaxing tonight….
It’s raining!
Well…didn’t think I’d be saying this today but I’m sitting here waiting for the rain to stop so I can get on the bike again…as I wait, thought I’d do another one of these…I really can’t understand how the stupid repubs think attacking the middle class is a winning message for the election this fall…especially ole ted cruz who went on some right wing media to bitch about student loan forgiveness by saying “why should a truck driver pay for some lazy barista’s student loans after she spent 7 years in college getting a lesbian dance degree?” Now, this comes from a guy who has never had to work a day in his life and graduated from Harvard….and who has the typical Ivy league disdain for anyone who didn’t…and, can you imagine the ads that are going to come from just that little sound bite from this smug asshole? He loves doling out money to his rich buddies to the tune of a 2 trillion dollar tax cut but let the little folks dip their beaks just a little and it’s just too much for any repub…why the hell does anyone keep voting for these pricks? I guess all I can say to these assholes is keep it up…it’s looking like we are going to gain in the senate and maybe even keep the house…and when that happens, a true investigation of Kavanaugh is going to happen…and then an impeachment I hope…and all three SC justices appointed by a traitor should be removed anyway…I can hope…geez…
August 28th
Well..damn, that was strange…slept all the way through the night til 5:57 this morning and I can’t remember the last time that happened…but I’ll take it even though I don’t feel like I slept at all…having a hard time getting going today but I need to get out on the bike by 7:30 to be back here to see the F1 race at 9 and the nascar race at 10 since it was rained out last night…so, that means the second ride won’t happen until this afternoon if it happens at all….it was nice to still have it warm enough to put the top down on the car going out to get the paper and that helped wake me up a bit but I still have the damn headache that plagued me all last night….actually all day yesterday and I think that is going to mean ibuprofen today to go with the allergy meds…I really hate this time of the year when my allergies are the worst they get and there is nothing that works to help…crap….didn’t get anything done yesterday and I think it’s going to be the same today with the races and the Lions playing this afternoon…and I am so worn out right now that I don’t want to get on the bike at all and the coffee needs to work soon or I’ll just melt back in the couch and do nothing all day….more later….
Now this was a wasted day…
Well…getting back into normal life after taking the summer off is going to be harder than I thought if today is any example….it was just another wasted day where I didn’t get anything done but ride the bike twice and then make food for lunch and dinner…I did make a huge salad for dinner that I ate early since I was so bored and it gave me something to do….I did watch some soccer and F1 qualifying but ManU barely won and looked crappy doing it…but I didn’t watch much of it since I wanted to get out and back before F1 started and the match started just when I needed to get on the bike…I wonder if they’ll run it again this afternoon? Need to take a look…damn, got sidetracked by a Doors documentary that’s on right now….so, I guess I’ll just chalk it up to a wasted day and watch more of this show….and take the night off and have a cocktail….hmmmm…
I like this new Joe…
Well…with Joe Biden going on the attack and finally realizing that you can’t compromise with any repub these days, it appears that the US is feeling the same as I am, that they like this new Joe Biden…and that is shown by his approval ratings gaining 7 points in just one month to higher than any president in the past 50 years in his second year of presidency….and I just loved the way he turned Greene’s criticism against student debt relief around and showed how ridiculous she is by highlighting she took a 200K PPP loan during the pandemic that was forgiven and she didn’t have to pay that back….and iced that with dismissing her by not even saying her name…pretty damn good, Joe….now let’s keep this winning going right into the mid terms and maybe, just maybe we will still control all of the government in November and can get a lot more things done…even though you’ve already done more in the first two years than any president in history…and not tax cuts for the rich but legislation that helps the rest of us…and that is something to applaud…Go Joe….
