Well….running a little early today and it is cold in here since I forgot to put the heat on last night…haven’t needed it for a few nights but will for the next few days…slept okay last night and feel a little better today….not sure what is going on but felt pretty crappy yesterday and was stuffed up and couldn’t breathe so I think the allergies are flaring up again…I think I need to try to find a new medicine for it…or take more of what I have been using….got a nice ride in yesterday but skipped working out…I’ll get back on the machine today and it will have to be soon since it is supposed to rain around 10 or so and then continue off and on the rest of the day….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to vacuum and get rid of the cobwebs today…they are annoying the heck out of me and need to be gone….more later…

Can’t think of anything…
Well…have been trying to think of a topic for today and I just can’t do it…so where do I go from here? Maybe just talk a little and see what happens? The idiot trump is going to announce that he is going to scuttle the Iran nuclear agreement today and I really can’t believe how stupid that is…they have lived up to all of the requirements and have stopped their nuclear weapons program but I guess that’s not enough for the morons running this country….the rest of the world is still going to abide by it so how are re-imposing sanctions going to work? Who the hell in their right mind is ever going to talk to the US again? Okay, that’s a lot of questions and I have only one answer…and that is no one…no one is going to believe a thing we say and the “greatest negotiator in the world” is going to get lots of people killed as he continues to screw up the middle east…and the rest of the world…god, I can’t wait until he’s gone….impeach…

Well…running a little late today and just can’t get started…and I feel pretty crappy this morning and I don’t know why….oh, and I lost at pool for the fourth time in a row…didn’t look to see if that is true but I’ll get to that later….I did have a nice ride out and back with the top down so that made up for it….didn’t get anything else done yesterday and I think I won’t get much done today….I think I may take the day off feeling like I do….I did talk to C last night and he may be coming into town in the next couple of weeks so I won’t have to drive to Mt. P….I do have errands to run today but I’m not sure if I’m going to do them….even getting on the bike may be too much work today….but. we’ll see after the coffee starts to work….more later….
This is just too funny…
Well…as you probably remember, the idiot trump was specifically told to stay away from Barbara Bush’s funeral since they didn’t want the worst person in the world (to steal from Keith Olbermann) anywhere near them…and now it has happened again. Just the other day, John McCain pointedly told trump to stay away from his funeral since he is in the end stages of brain cancer and is in the process of planning his. I find this to be just too damn funny and it must be just grinding on the narcissist in chief since he thinks everyone loves him….I just want any reporter to shout that at him and troll him a little…that would be fun….especially since Obama is invited….impeach….
They are all terrible people…
Well…I’ve had this thought in my head the past couple of days and thought I’d share it…when you look at the repubs running this country and can see that, objectively, they are terrible, corrupt people…how do they live with themselves? I mean if I was Scott Pruitt or any one of the other terrible people that infest this government, how do you go home at night and not think of that stuff? Is it that they are all sociopaths who have no capability for introspection or seeing the reality of their lives? Or, is it a learned behavior since they have been getting rewarded for being terrible their whole lives? Whatever it is, I can’t believe that any of them should be held up as role models and that used to be something you could depend on…they just don’t give a damn since they are getting theirs and everyone else can go to hell….geez…

Well…I think I’m up but I’m not sure….feel kind of off this morning and I hope that goes away soon…slept okay last night but I think I didn’t eat enough yesterday so that is going to have to be fixed today or I’ll be out of energy by noon…I did get the bathroom cleaned, finally, and even worked on the kitchen some so not doing anything today won’t make me too guilty….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday and went pretty hard and I’ll try to do that again today…and the wind was almost calm so that made it even better…and today is calm out there so I’ll go as soon as it warms up enough…it is still only 42 out there and I need at least 5 more degrees….not much to do today… pool, but that’s about it….but, I need more coffee and some news first….more later….
May 6th
Well…I think I’m on time this morning but I can’t be sure…slept okay last night but do feel a little slow today and I am thinking of taking a day off the bike…just thinking about it…will probably get out when it gets a little warmer but there are showers coming in and I don’t think it’s warm enough to get wet….I think my heel is on the way to being healed with the new cream and pumice that I have been using…it doesn’t hurt at all this morning and that is the first time for that in almost 4 months…..it is weird to walk almost normally and I keep waiting for it to hurt….and, my back doesn’t hurt, either so I am a little confused….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I should do my bathroom today…that could happen but I’m not sure if it will….just can’t get moving so we’ll see when the coffee starts to work….more later….
A funny morning…
Well….had a nice ride this morning that ended up with seeing something I’ve never seen before in this part of the state. When I got to my last water stop at the park and was just sitting there looking at the baseball fields that are in the upper part of the park, I saw some people playing what I assumed was baseball since I wasn’t paying too much attention…but then I saw the pitcher use a really strange windup and I realized that they were playing cricket…so I decided to go take a look and it was a group of men from India who had set up their cricket equipment and were playing a game….talked to one of them and mentioned that I had never seen cricket played around here and he just laughed…you would never have seen that when I was young….pretty cool….
Bastard Republicans…
Well…we all know how terrible the repubs are…but, just lately they have become even worse here in Michigan. With the idiot trump and his cronies in government changing the rules on Medicaid so states can now force work requirements on the poor who are covered by this program (let’s not forget that over 80% of people who are on Medicaid already work)….but that wasn’t enough for them…to make the poor jump through more hoops is the thing that the repubs live for so they are stampeding to screw over the poor in states that the repubs control. Even that is not enough for them here in Michigan…here, the repubs are rigging the system so that the poor whites in areas that voted repub are exempt from the work requirements…but the “urban” poor will have to report into some office every two weeks to prove they are working or the government will assign them unpaid work before they can retain the healthcare that is keeping them alive in many cases. Sounds pretty racist doesn’t it? In cities where the poor live, the makeup is primarily minorities…and guess who they vote for? I have had enough of the repubs punishing the poor just for being poor and voting dem…we need to throw these assholes out in the fall…it’s hard enough being poor without the repubs making it worse…geez….
May 5th
Well…running a little early today with getting up at 5:30 and I am getting tired of getting up so early…feel okay this morning and I am not too sore so that means a hard ride on the bike today…but, I am going to take some ibuprofen before I get out…my right thigh has been hurting the past few days and I want to get ahead of that one…went out early on the bike yesterday to beat the wind and just did it…it started to blow hard just after I got back here…the gusts got up to 58 mph yesterday and that took a branch down at T’s and punched a hole in her garage roof…that kind of sucks….I did get some cleaning done yesterday and will continue that today….my microwave is clean and that took some work and I did get to the counters and stove, too….not much to do today….I am going to get out on the bike as soon as the temp comes up and then the Kentucky Derby is on later along with a race so I won’t be too bored….more later….
