Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run before the big rain and freeze comes in…it started to rain pretty hard on the way back from Meijers and that didn’t help the skating rink that is the parking lot here…glad I’ve got everything done and can just veg out here today…slept okay last night but was up at 4:44 to start but was able to get back to sleep until almost 6 so that was a bonus…and, with being good, I feel okay today so it looks like the skipping cocktails is going to turn into a thing that I am going to want to continue for a couple of weeks at least….and it saves me a bunch of money so that is cool…I did work out yesterday and it appears that the damage that I do to my shoulder is getting less every time…and I think the skipping days helps with the healing…so I’ll keep that up for a while and see where it goes…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but errands but I think I’ll try to clean some today…the kitchen counters need some work and I still need to vacuum so that will be the plan for this aft….more later….
just had a laugh…
Well…as you know, I braved the ice this morning to go out and get some groceries at Aldi’s…okay, I didn’t brave the ice…the only place there was ice left by the time I went out at 10 was in the parking lot here…the roads were just wet with a few slick spots so no big deal…oh, I did find out that I pulled the overflow hose off the radiator tank sometime when I was screwing around with the car…or it just came off with the hose being pretty old and stretched out so it didn’t fit too tightly anymore…so I lost a bunch of coolant and had to re-fill it today, and I found a small clamp to put on it to make sure it doesn’t come off again….but, that’s not what this is about….I just checked the packages of chicken thighs I got this morning…didn’t even check how much they weighed when I bought them…the two of them together weighed over 10 pounds…now, I’m not sure if anyone needs 10 pounds of chicken thighs but, damn, how can you pass up 69 cents a pound? Just knowing I have 10 pounds of chicken, again, made me laugh….
SOTU
Well…not sure if you could stomach listening to the idiot in chief last night, I know I couldn’t, but the reviews are in and it was all just more of the same old crap the trump spews every time he opens his mouth…need wall, best president ever, murdering immigrants, I’m great and you’re not, interspersed with many adderal sniffles and stopping after every sentence for applause by his toadies in the congress…and that applause is the only reason he wanted to do the speech…he is so needy that he would cease to exist without applause and affirmation by his cronies. There was not one damn policy proposal…no comparison of where we are and where we need to be and how to get there…no anything at all of how to make the lives of Americans better….but there was a threat that if the investigations into him and his crime family didn’t stop, there would be no legislation signed by him…doesn’t the idiot know that that statement can be used as evidence of obstruction of justice? On a historical note, this is exactly what Nixon said in his final SOTU…that the investigations into Watergate had gone on long enough and needed to be stopped…and, how did that turn out for him? All in all…the whole speech was just a word salad of hate and bragging that no one should have watched….impeach…
February 6th
Well…running a little late for normal this morning with not getting up until after 6…okay…for last time after 6 but was up and down all night and wrenched my shoulder somehow so there was quite a bit of pain that seems to have subsided….but, I don’t feel too bad this morning with the first night of being good under my belt…going to continue that for a while just to see if I can get through the winter losing weight instead of gaining it like normal…looks like quite a bit of ice out there this morning and the Miata is coated pretty thickly so I need to get a photo of that to post today…it appears that the ice has already started to melt since there are rivers running down the parking lot and the rain is supposed to be over by 8 or so…I need to get out some time today to get some groceries at Aldi’s since they have chicken thighs for 69 cents a pound and can’t pass that up…a couple of trays will keep me in protein for a couple of weeks for about 7 bucks and I can make lots of different dishes with them…I did get a few things done yesterday and I am going to try to continue that today with clearing some of the dust and cobwebs along with vacuuming….and some laundry that needs to be done…and maybe some soccer if there are any matches on….more later…
Nothing to do with the White House?
Well…with the bombshell report that the trump inaugural committee has been subpoenaed basically for every bit of records they have with the SDNY and Mueller looking into money laundering, illegal foreign contributions, influence peddling, and many, many other crimes, we have the press secretary coming out yesterday and saying “it has nothing to do with the WH”…..now it appears to me that Sarah Sanders has just given up even trying to understand that there is truth out there…that, yes, it has EVERYTHING to do with the WH and the crime family that is running it…and the fact that trump has had the for sale sign out front since he was installed. I wonder if Obama’s inaugural committee was ever accused of any of these crimes? Yeah, we know the answer to that one…nope…and yet not one damn repub has said anything about all the criminality since trump has given them the unqualified right wing judges they salivated for and the tax cuts they were instructed to enact by their owners. Is there any damn facet of trump, his administration, or his businesses that isn’t under investigation? Nope…impeach…
Might be wishful thinking…
Well…just wanted to do a short one on a post that I just read over at Kos, and while it may be wishful thinking, it still sounds pretty cool. This article described supposed plans that Nancy Pelosi has for the response to the idiot trump’s SOTU speech tonight just in case the moron goes off and shows that he is truly unhinged…supposedly, Pelosi has a panel of expert psychiatrists that will do a real-time analysis of trump and his behavior…and diagnose that he is truly mentally ill and then call for congress to begin the process to remove him. Now, I’m not sure if there is a grain of salt big enough for this or if this post was just one of the trolls that sometimes infest Kos but it did make me smile for a short few seconds…I would love to see it but the chance of it happening, of finally ripping the blindfold off the country’s eyes and showing that trump is a real danger to this country if allowed to stay in office, is really just a bit of wishful thinking…impeach….
February 5th
Well…up at 5:23 again and I am just damn exhausted from not sleeping well…I think I’ll make it a project to try to figure this out today…after all, I have lots of time on my hands and what better way to spend it? Had a nice day yesterday and I won at pool and the ride out and back was fun…and the more I drive the Miata in the rain, the more I like it…it’s like a tiny little cocoon and fits me so well…looks like I won’t be going anywhere tomorrow with a huge ice storm coming tonight…3/10’s of an inch of ice is really quite a bit and that will take a while to melt so it looks like another day of hibernation and trying to melt the ice so I can get the doors on the car open…only burned through a quarter tank of gas during the frigid weather last week so I’m good to go with letting the car run…don’t really hurt too much this morning but I am still going to alternate days on the weight machine so my shoulder gets a rest and repair day…don’t want to stress it too much with it slowly healing….not much to do today…think I’ll just continue the cleaning that I started over the weekend and get a couple of rides in but that is about it…more later…
It’s all just vanity…
Well…I know you’ve all heard the stories of how people have tried and tried and tried to get trump to learn anything, with the head of the naval war college going so far as saying that he thinks that trump has a learning disability and a mental block that doesn’t allow him to take in any facts or data that are in conflict with his “beliefs” on any issue, whether or not his “beliefs” are driven by delusion on the idiot’s part…what I think is that idiot boy knows or has started to realize that his inability to perform his job is making him look bad and his vanity is driving him to reject intelligence or reality just to relieve the cognitive dissonance that this creates. Now, we all know trump is not bright enough to understand cognitive dissonance….remember one of his college professors who stated bluntly that trump was by far the the dumbest student he ever had? But, you don’t have to understand CD to react to it’s effects…oh, and if you’re wondering, yes, I do have a degree in psychology so I understand the terms I’m commenting on…it all comes back to the inflated self worth that trump displays every day that has no basis in reality…but his construct of the false reality needs to be supported by his delusions of success…and thinking he knows more than anyone about everything is all just part of his vanity that has been on display his entire life….let’s impeach the MF before he kills us all…cripes…
February 4th
Well…damn, I wonder when this crappy sleep will end…feel so worn out this morning that I may have to try to take a nap later….almost shut everything back down and tried to go back to bed but I know there wouldn’t be any prospect of sleeping so what’s the point? Had and okay day yesterday and even got some stuff done…got my kitchen floor scrubbed and it finally looks good again…I do need to get at the counters and the oven tomorrow but don’t think I’ll get much done with pool this aft…I did get my Feb top down run in yesterday when I went over to the car wash to get quarters for pool and there were some huge puddles from the melt that splashed over the windows when I hit them….looked like riding in a boat…going to try the weight machine today before I get on the bike since my shoulder feels okay…the pain has been receding slowly the past few days and it didn’t get worse even with using it hard to scrub the floor yesterday so it should be okay…only did one run on the bike yesterday and will probably do only one today…I’ll get back to the normal routine tomorrow….not much to do today…going to just ease into the day and have some more coffee before reading the news…more later….
Boycott the super bowl…
Well…we all know by now that trump lies, and lies and lies…and he is constantly given tv time to spew them every damn day…and today, the owners of the teams in the NFL are giving him another platform to lie to America with a captive audience at the Super Bowl. From what I’ve read, reporters who have seen the text of the filmed segment, the whole thing is just more of his racist bullshit where he will try to convince people that there is a “crisis” at our southern border when everyone in this country other than trump and his cronies know that’s a blatant lie…and he is going to use this lie filled screed to attack Nancy Pelosi since she has told him there is never going to be money for his damn, stupid wall….never mind that this is not the place for that sort of bullshit, I blame the trump loving owners for allowing this asshole to pollute the airwaves with his racist bullshit…so I, for one will not take part in it…I am going to boycott the Super Bowl and I think every other progressive in this country should, too…we don’t need to reward the NFL and the owners for supporting this corrupt, lying asshole….impeach…
