Well…not sure if this topic is going to be enough for a whole post but I am going to give it a try and see where it goes…if you haven’t heard yet, the baby in chief walked out of an interview with Leslie Stahl for 60 Minutes the other day because she was being mean to him and asking him questions like a real journalist is supposed to….and then the petulant little child went to his safety blanket of twitter to attack her and try to shift the blame to her and justify his being a baby…I’m just shaking my head at this one…not because it is surprising behavior for idiot boy…but as the idiot tries to shore up his support with seniors who are abandoning him in droves, he attacks a show whose viewers skew to the over 60 crowd and they are still going to show the interview that will lay bare that trump is not fit for any office….and I think will collapse the support that he still has among this demographic because they still remember how a president is supposed to act and trump just can’t do it. So, I really hope trump’s handlers keep putting him in situations where he can’t cope…and the debate tomorrow night is another one of them….keep it up morons…
October 21st
Well…hey, slept 11 minutes later this morning than last night…but, I’m coughing like crazy again this morning and my chest muscles hurt again so I must have coughed all night too….I am damn tired of this and can’t wait until the source of the coughing is gone….feel so worn out today that I could go back to bed and stay there…cripes, it’s even hard to do this since my brain isn’t working too well after days and days of this….I did get out for a ride yesterday and it wasn’t awful…was able to breathe through the entire 12 miles so I thought I was making progress but I guess I wasn’t with how I feel right now….damn, I just want one day where I don’t have to bitch about feeling so lousy…I may be able to get out in shorts this morning with temps already in the 50’s but I need to do the grocery run first…I have a bunch of tomatoes that I need to use so I think I’m going to make slow cooker pasta sauce in the next couple of days…it looks like an easy one with just throwing the ingredients in the cooker and letting it cook on low for 8 hours or so…will probably have to run it through my blender to smooth it out after it’s done…I even have a green pepper on the plants that I can add to it…it’s small but I think it will be enough….not much to do today…have to do the grocery run and clean some but that will be about it…just don’t feel up to doing much more with this damn headache I’ve had for a few days now…more later…
Hold them all accountable…
Well….with the bad, bad decision of Obama and his administration to “move forward” and not prosecute the torturers and bribers and liars of the Bush administration, we find this country in exactly the same place right now and we cannot let that happen again since the Obama decision led us to the lawlessness that the idiot trump fosters every damn day. We need to hold them all accountable for every damn crime from every damn one of them…and the only way to do that is to empanel a commission whose sole job will be to start with the crimes in plain sight that idiot boy has committed but it can’t stop there…every damn instance of corruption, every violation of the Hatch act, everything…every damn thing and no slaps on the hand but prosecution to the fullest extent of the law…and that includes all of the self dealing and other bullshit…and then we need to get rid of the stupid memo that says that presidents can’t be indicted for crimes committed at any time while they hold the office. Good citizens follow the law because it is necessary for a functioning society but the rich and powerful think the law doesn’t apply to them…that needs to end now…no one is above the law….
October 20th
Well…this just frickin sucks…felt pretty good yesterday afternoon and wasn’t coughing at all but that all changed last night and I woke up at 5:19 this morning coughing like crazy and feel like crap right now…and that’s why I’m running late today…laid back down on the couch and slept a little while since I just couldn’t do anything else….and I’m so damn exhausted that I don’t think I’ll get out on the bike today…yesterday’s ride was so damn hard with not being able to breathe that I’m not sure if I want to chance it today…hmmmm…I wonder if the work I did downstairs yesterday caused this relapse? I was in full haz mat suit while I was doing it and I do have a little more to do today but I think I may put that off with how I feel today….didn’t get much else done yesterday but the ride and laundry so I don’t have much to do so I may just take the day off….I do have some bills to pay but that won’t take long and I can get that done this morning after I have coffee and read the news a bit…I have been cutting out calories to compensate for only riding once a day and I wonder if that has something to do with how exhausted I am? It feels that way so maybe I’ll try to ramp that up and see if that helps…more later…
Just noticed something…
Well…being a registered voter with a correct address, I get loads and loads of mailers from candidates in this election season…one thing I’ve just noticed in the blood red area of Kent country that I live in…for now…is that very few of the repub candidates even mention their party on any of the materials I’ve been getting…I mean, in this area? I wonder if it because they just assume that everyone here is repub and they don’t have to mention it, or is it that the idiot trump has made being a repub and a supporter of his so toxic they don’t want anyone to know? What could be bad about supporting a rotting ball of hate and lies? Luckily, they have to have their political affiliation on the ballot so there is no hiding there…and with the court ruling that put straight ticket voting back in play, they have to eat their party of trump and their wholehearted support for idiot boy…don’t think there will be much ticket splitting this year…
Starting to have hope…
Well…you know my interest in politics was crushed when the idiots of the country elected the idiot in chief back in 2016 but gradually, I have edged back into it over the past few years as you can tell from the almost daily posts on that topic….it has been kind of easy to find a topic since the idiot trump and his cronies have trashed the country so much over the past 4 years…so much so that I’ve had very little hope that things would get better since the repubs think it’s their job to make life harder for everyone who is not a millionaire…but, with 2 weeks to go until the election, I have started to have a little glimmer of hope that this nightmare we have been living in is coming to an end. but that doesn’t mean I feel good about the election…far from it…I am going to be uneasy until the election is called…probably by the second week of November….one thing I see as being different this time from 2016 is that Biden’s lead is much larger than Hillary’s was at this same point…and in many of the swing states, Joe is up over 50% in the polling and that means that if it holds and the polling is not wildly incorrect, idiot boy can get all of the remaining undecided votes (who the hell can be undecided after 4 years of the nightmare of trump?) and still can’t get to the 50+1% that you need to win. So, to win, trump will have to run the table just like he did last time and I don’t think that is going to happen…after all Hillary had the baggage of 30 years of the right attacking her and that drove her likeability to the point that was underwater…and that is not the case with Joe. So, I’m going to hold my breath for a couple of weeks and try to not think about it too much…
October 19th
Well…that was a little better…only woke up once at 4 and was able to get back to sleep without taking any more medicine for the cough…still coughing but I think I can handle it for a while just to see how bad my lungs still are…I am breathing a little better so maybe there is progress? This has been so damn tiring that I am worn out…but, I am going to try to get on the bike once it gets warmer…it looks like the rain is going to stay to the south for now but it’s only in the 30’s so the wait to go out is going to be a long one…but, I did get out in long pants the last time out so I can do that once it gets to 45 or so…didn’t even try to get any work done yesterday but I do have some stuff to do downstairs that may just irritate my lungs again but it needs to be done today or tomorrow so I can start wrapping things up down there….and I do need to finish up the painting in here so I can start getting my stuff ready to move…to where, I don’t know but I’m not going to wait til the last minute to do it….not much to do today…need to start getting back into the normal routine so I can eat more…2 chicken thighs and 3 small tomatoes is just not going to cut it for a whole day and that may be one of the reasons I feel so crappy…more later….
A little less depressed..
Well…no, I still feel like crap and my lungs are completely roached still…but, I have been finding a few houses today on zillow and there is one that I would buy today if it was just about 25 miles closer to GR…it sits about 45 miles to the north…about halfway to Mt. P and I think that is a little to far for me right now…but, it is only 119 grand and has 1500 square feet, a huge garage, half acre lot, covered porches on the front and back of the house and it has an easement to a lake that is across the street…and it is on a quiet street in the country…so, I do have a goal of finding a house by the end of the month and getting the buying process started and I may actually be able to meet that…and with having close to 45K to put down, my payment would only be about 400 bucks a month….so I may just be able to pull it off…still have 5 months…and I still feel crappy…ick
trump…stay the hell out of our state…
Well…if you are a Michigander, you should be as pissed as I am to have the asshole trump coming into our state and inciting violence against our governor…at another one of his fascist rallies here, he went into his schtick about how bad she is and led the crowd of deplorables in the tired old “lock her up” chant with no recognition that this bullshit inspired an actual kidnapping and murder plot against her…and you know he just doesn’t care at all…just as long as he gets his jollies from his crowd and works them into a frenzy as he manipulates them in the last bastion of support he has…nothing else matters to him. All I have to say to this asshole is stay the hell out of our state…you’ve done nothing for us in the past 4 years and you are responsible for thousands of deaths here that could have been prevented if you weren’t the incompetent moron that you are…just keep your promise and don’t ever come back…
October 18th
Well…man, I’m getting damn tired of all of this coughing and not sleeping…was up most of the night and got out of bed at 4 to take some more medicine for it and I’m not sure why it has gotten worse again…I felt okay yesterday and could take deep breaths but that is gone this morning so it looks like another day of just taking it easy and hoping for some healing to take place…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done so I am going to try to clean some today but I am going to need a nap at some point with not sleeping last night…just damn exhausted right now….needless to say, I won’t be getting on the bike today…I find myself hoping for rain so that doesn’t trigger my well developed sense of guilt and I do something stupid by getting out when I feel so crappy…okay, just checked the radar and there will be rain here in a few minutes so I don’t feel too bad….I can’t remember feeling so crappy in a long, long time and I’m not sure if knowing that it is my allergies helps any…oh, well….not much to do today….going to just ease into it…again…but I’m not sure if doing that will help how I feel….just damn frustrated that I haven’t made any progress since Tuesday and the last time this happened it took months before I healed up….more later….
