Well…have had a damn headache for three days now and it is getting really annoying…and I’m not sure if it’s allergies or what but it needs to stop soon…slept okay last night but up again at 5 and that is no fun…but, the coffee is working so that we get me ready for the bike ride in a few minutes…went out yesterday when it was still almost dark but don’t want to do that today…but, I think that will be dictated by the boredom level that I feel…and that is starting already with no soccer until almost 11 today…didn’t get much done yesterday but watch Man U and a bunch of other sports and today looks the same…I did clean a little and will probably do a little more of that today…I may make my big ham today instead of waiting until Tuesday since I really don’t celebrate any religious holidays so there is no reason to wait…other than I have timed out my leftovers to be used up tomorrow and I do need the space in the fridge…okay, I just took some ibuprofen for my headache and I hope it works soon…more later…
Hmmm…
Well… sitting here waiting for the second half of the Man U match to start so I thought I’d come here for a second one of these…not really any reason for it but I just need to stay ahead for the month….but, no politics other than to say that the idiot boy owns the government shutdown and the fallout from it is owned by the repub party…so, on to other things…there were some decorations in the trees on the trail today and that made me smile some and I forgot to mention that a woman was handing out candy canes out there yesterday and that made me smile, too…got out this morning before it was light enough to see the display on the computer and that is probably the only time I’ve done that…but, I needed to get out before the boredom set in…and it was cold enough that I am still trying to warm up even with it 75 in here…have had the blankets piled on me this aft and once I’m done with this, I’m getting back under them…so, I’m done with this….
December 22nd
Well…running on time this morning but getting started is much more work than I expect…let’s start this one again…I’m bored of talking about how I sleep or how I hurt or anything…so, what do I talk about? Politics is for another one of these later so that is out…I did get quite a bit of stuff done yesterday morning but the funny thing is that paying bills, running errands, working out, and doing laundry only took me until 10 am and then the rain stopped and I got on the bike for a nice ride….finally figured out the shifter and got the 6-7 shift to work every time now so that is cool…I did get to 3400 miles yesterday and now the goal is to do 100 more before the end of the year and that will make it the third most miles in a year….and the bike still rides like new after all those miles…once the snow comes, I am going to switch the tires around so I’ll get another year out of them before I have to buy new ones…and I’ll think I’ll do that for the brake pads, too…not much to do today…just going to watch some sports and clean some…I am curious to see how Man U plays with the new manager…they can’t play worse…more later…
Hey Americans, this is what trump voters did to you just this week…
Well…amid the chaos created by the idiot in chief and spread across the world, the damage being done here is just stunning and the rest of us Americans have trump voters to thank for it. Just this week, the stock market has lost over 7%…yep, that’s right…and everyone’s IRA or 401 K took the hit…just like the example I used before…just a few weeks ago where the market dropped 6% and your 100K turned into 94K….now, with this latest bloodbath…that 94K has turned into 87K and that money you worked for and invested is going away just like some invisible tax that none of us has any control over. I wonder what trump will say about this? He sure took credit for the market on the way up, now will he take the blame for this crash? Ha, ha,ha,….yeah, that made me laugh, too…how can he take responsibility for something he is so ignorant of? Brace yourself for more of the same in the next few months since mainstream economists are warning that a recession is on the way…oh, and that huge sugar high tax cut for the rich that the repubs pushed through? It didn’t do anything to create jobs as the repubs lied, it didn’t raise wages as the repubs lied, and it DID reward companies for offshoring jobs…too much winning yet, trump voters? Impeach…
Putin’s happy…
Well….there is really only on thing you need to know about the idiot trump’s decision to withdraw all of the US troops that are stationed in Syria…Putin is happy about it…and even went so far to praise it as the “right decision” and to praise trump for making it…and you know what? If Putin is praising you for making a decision, you can be assured that it is the wrong decision for the US and the right one for Putin. But trump is just so damn stupid that he eats this crap up…to me, Putin’s praise is just like “good doggy” as he pats trump on the head for doing something he was told to do…and he didn’t shit on the floor so that was a bonus. Just today, we heard that idiot boy is also retreating in Afghanistan with withdrawal of our troops there on an expedited basis…leaving the entire country to the Taliban and ISIS….and crapping on the troops who have sacrificed there. Now, I’m not averse to bringing our troops home, but to do it just to do it without any thought of the consequences is just stupid…and it is abandoning the middle east to Russia and Iran with absolutely no concessions from them…just giving away the trillions of dollars we’ve spent there for nothing it appears…typical trump crap…it’s all about him and using the military to distract from the investigations that are closing in around him….but, they won’t stop just from this…trump is going to jail…it just may take a little while longer….impeach…
December 21st
Well…not going to talk about how much I hurt today…it may be easier to list the places I don’t hurt…and that gives me a little chuckle…and I think I’ll be taking something for it here soon…slept okay last night and even had some weird dreams that involved chocolate and tv but I really can’t fathom how that would be connected….but it means I finally got into some deep sleep and that is a welcome change…got a few things done yesterday and will continue that today with nothing else to do this morning since it is raining and that will keep me off the bike until around 11 or so…and I am already bored so cleaning or something might help that…and I do need to do laundry today, too so maybe I won’t be that bored…I do have to cook today, too, since I have some chicken that needs to be cooked or frozen and that will keep me busy for 5 minutes…more later…
No trump today…
Well….was going to write something about the looming government shutdown but since that has the idiot trump in it I just can’t do it….don’t want to even think about the idiot in chief so I won’t….Oh, I did want to talk about the good news here in Michigan that some repubs finally realized that their lame duck session shenanigans are not a good idea and have stopped them…but only after some damage was done…to them in the next election I hope. While they destroyed the citizen sponsored rise in the minimum wage, the rest of their power grab was stopped this week when the senate approved stripping of campaign finance oversight from the newly elected dem was stopped in the house…and guess why that was proposed in the first place? Yep, typical repub crap….the senator Dave Robertson has been under ethics investigations for years due to campaign finance violations and criminal embezzlement by his former campaign manager…and stripping this oversight from the secretary of state would essentially stop the investigations into Robertson….is there anything more repub than that? At least one repub here has had enough, and I applaud rep Aaron Miller for putting a stop to this un democratic bullshit….
December 20th
Well…running a little early today with getting the grocery run done early…have all the stuff I need to get through til after christmas so it will be hibernating time for me for the next week…slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad this morning and I should…have been coughing and sneezing all morning and I’m not sure what that is about…at least my hamstring is almost pain free this morning with just a little tightness left so that will be good for the bike ride today…and it is already 41 degrees outside so I can get out as soon as the sun comes up and it stops raining…will be able to go with no fleece hat and thin thermasuit today and that will be nice for a change…I did get my December top down run in yesterday when it got up to 47 and I ran out to get some gas…won’t have to think about that again until next month…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but some light cleaning and that will probably be the plan for today, too…no need to cook today with lots of leftovers so it looks like an easy one….more later….
No wall for you….
Well…if you haven’t been in a cave for the past week or so, you’ve heard the idiot in the WH go on and on and on that he was going to shut down the government if he didn’t get funding for his stupid wall included in the legislation to keep the government open…and has bragged that he has the votes necessary to pass it…but, reality came crashing down on the idiot’s head today that can be summed up with a modified phrase from “Seinfeld”…”No wall for you!” I guess ole Mitch had to tell trump that he didn’t have the votes for it and will never have the votes for it in the senate never mind that the votes aren’t there in the house, either…even before the dems take over in January. You can guess what trump’s response was to this reality…in the span of two minutes on twitter, he said that the wall would be paid for by Mexico in the revised NAFTA trade agreement…then that the military will build the wall using their money…or they’ll find the money somewhere else in the government by cutting some program somewhere…what idiot boy doesn’t understand is that the dems will NEVER fund the wall and if there is funding for it in the NAFTA revisions, it won’t be passed through the House….it is so damn funny to read the twisting that trump is doing trying keep his base on board since that is the only thing they care about…and they are going crazy…fun to watch…impeach….
Just what Putin wants…
Well…we all knew that the idiot trump would need a new distraction to try to hide the fact that he just got his ass kicked in the latest budget standoff…and didn’t get funding for his damn wall..and today we found out what that is. Without consulting anyone in the state department or the military, idiot boy has decided to claim victory over ISIS in Syria and bring all the troops that are still there home…now, normally I would applaud any action that would get our soldiers out of harm’s way, the motive for this withdrawal is suspect to say the least and it is just what Putin wants…it will leave Russia as the only power left in the area and trump gave it to him without any concessions on Russia’s part…some damn fine negotiatin, huh? This also plays right into Turkey’s hands by leaving no buffer to keep Turkey from attacking the Kurds in northern Iraq…something that Erdogan has been pushing for since trump was installed and it is also something that every other president would not do since the Kurds are our staunchest allies in the region…and now trump has abandoned them. I wonder if this order came down from Putin to trump now since he knows that once the dems take control of the House, this kind of crap just won’t go? It sure looks that way and we all know that trump is too ignorant and stupid to have thought of this on his own…let’s just add this as another log for the impeachment fire…in the dumpster that is the trump WH….impeach…
