Well…I guess Joe and his team are not screwing around and I am cheering…in the first day, wow: Killed the Muslim travel ban, restored LGBTQ rights to serve in the armed forces and be treated as equals, stopped asylum seeker deportations, stopped oil and gas drilling in the ANWR, killed the Keystone pipeline, fired the anti labor counsel of the NLRB, cleaned out many, many trump supporters civilians out of the armed forces, rejoined WHO, rejoined the Paris climate agreement, fired the trump loving head of the federal media agencies…oh, and his people are telling the truth. Gee…it’s like these guys know what they are doing and they are doing it for everyone in this country to try to make this a better place to live…imagine that…no scandals, no unqualified appointments and no golfing at his own club….and just the bestest thing is that ole Mitch is fuming along with all of the rest of the repubs calling these moves “divisive” and overreaching….it wasn’t when idiot boy did it but it surely is when we reverse it….but we all knew that was their game plan….bitch and complain about everything when they don’t get their way…tough luck, repubs…
Well…finally, got the car started after putting my trickle charger on the battery for 3 hours and letting my battery box charge for the same time…so, I got my errands run today and can go out to Hastings tomorrow to look at some houses….and I did buy a new battery charger but not from HF…got one from Amazon that does basically everything…it’s a regular charger, a float charger, a 40 amp car starter, a battery conditioner, and an alternator checker…and it can be used on AGM batteries and it was only 5 bucks more than a normal charger at HF…only 45 bucks so I don’t think that is a bad deal…and I needed one anyway…the day has gotten better…and I got my 900 million dollar Mega tickets for tomorrow…now I need a nap after a 4 hour of sleep night before soccer starts…
Well…crap…when I went out to the garage to get in the car for errands this morning, the trunk was open and that means I forgot to disconnect the battery when I used it Tuesday….so, the battery was dead and I hadn’t charged my battery box so it wouldn’t start the car…and I don’t have jumper cables or anyone to jump it to get it started…so, my whole day has been a pain…if I ever get it started, I’m going out to HF and buy a battery charger…which I should have done when I moved in here…the only reason I bought the box was living in an apartment, there is no electricity to run a charger outside…so, here I sit waiting and hoping that my battery box will charge up enough to start it one more time…can get a 15 amp charger for 39 bucks so that’s not a bad deal…..still…crap…
Well…damn, up at 4:54 after getting to bed a little late last night so I feel pretty worn out today…my heel is making real progress but it still throbs as I sit here…no pain but I can feel my heartbeat in it and that is a little weird….didn’t get on the bike yesterday for the second day in a row since the temp never got out of the 20’s and that is just too darn cold…but it is 34 right now so I will be getting out after I run an errand this morning….and I do need to run down to Hastings to take a quick look at a house…running out of time so I need to just buy anything so I can get out of here…there are a couple of others in Hastings, too so I need to dig out the listings and make a plan…didn’t do anything but watch the news and soccer yesterday and enjoy the fact that idiot boy is gone…and Man U won which puts them in first place in the PL and it has been a long time since that has happened…so, all in all, a good day but I need to get stuff done around here….need to get packed up and start looking for apartments in case I can’t find a house…but, right now I need more coffee and to read the news before I get going….more later….
Well…I am just so relieved that trump is finally, finally gone….I wonder if there are going to be other physical effects from today? Have been watching the news since around 9 this morning and I am getting to the end of news for the day…one thing I did do was follow Joe on twitter… and that is something I would never, ever do with idiot boy….just going to let this day soak in a bit and get ready for Man U to play in a little while….so this is going to be the last one for the day…I think….just going to let the peace flow over me and enjoy it for a while….
Well…sitting here watching the inauguration and it just struck me that I am proud to be an American again….after 4 long years where I couldn’t say that, it is a relief to know that dignity is going to be restored to the presidency and I don’t have to be ashamed of the things that trump and his idiot followers were doing in our names…we now have a new president and first family who I am going to enjoy getting to know….what a relief….
Well…I think I’ve watched more news this morning that I have in the past 4 years…and I still can’t get enough of the stench being cleaned out of the WH and the idiot boy finally being gone…and the genuine smiles on the faces of everyone involved in the inauguration…even the repubs appear to be happy that trump is gone and is not there to pout and stew in the background….and we don’t have to look at the grifter trump children anymore…good riddance….
Well…just two and a half hours to go for our national nightmare to be over and I have started to watch the news again…something that I just couldn’t do for the past 4 years and I have even allowed myself to grin a little today…there really is something palpable about what is happening today, that normalcy is going to come back and we won’t have to grit our teeth every damn day for the latest outrage from idiot boy….now to make my day even better we will hear of the first indictments of trump and his family announced around noon…not going to hold my breath but I know it’s coming so I guess I can wait a while for that and just enjoy the fact that a decent man is going to be president in under 3 hours….I wonder if I have the ability to write good things for a change? I will still criticize Joe when it’s needed but I’m sure he won’t do anything out of malice so I’ll be critical of policy….Joe is too good of a person…god, it feels good to write that about a president….good riddance to the worst person in the world….more later….
Well…running late this morning and I just can’t get started….for some reason my eyes are so dry they hurt today and that is weird..but, my heel is feeling better from the start today and I hope that means that it will be pain free later in the day…not big pain but I think I’m going to have to learn how to walk on that foot again since I’m still limping when I don’t need to….I think I’m going to have to put some eye drops in this morning it is so annoying and I wonder why that is…it’s sure not normal…I think I slept okay but I sure don’t feel like it right now…I did get my gas bill yesterday and it is the highest it’s ever been with how cold it’s been…127 bucks and I hope it doesn’t get higher….didn’t get a damn thing done yesterday and today is going to be the same with the inauguration happening at noon and then Man U playing this afternoon….I should clean today but my motivation level is so low right now it’s hard to even pick up my coffee cup but we’ll see how it goes in a few minutes….I wonder if I can take a day off to just enjoy what’s happening? I guess we’ll see since the Wings are on and I don’t want to move right now….more later…
Well..in case anyone thinks that moscow mitch has grown a conscience over the past week by criticizing trump and his incitement of treason, just don’t…the only reason that mitch is saying one word is that the big donors who were just fine with trump until the capital attack have started to tell him that the money taps are going to be turned off for every one of the traitors who tried to overturn the election by objecting to certifying the EC votes…and that means 10 repub senators could lose in the next election and that would keep mitch out of power as he is now and he just can’t take that….so, the noise that mitch might allow the repubs in the senate to vote to convict trump is all about the cash and is not in any way related to a change of heart or doing the right thing…it’s just another one of mitch’s calculations of what is best for mitch….nothing more…
