Well…damn, my jaw still hurts like crazy and it’s been a week since I had the dental work done and I need to figure out how to stop grinding my teeth to stop it…don’t feel as lousy as I did yesterday but I still feel pretty crappy but I’ve only been out of bed for a half hour and haven’t had any coffee yet so that could be why…it looks like a repeat day today with temps still in the 30′s so I’ll do two indoor rides and bake bread this afternoon…even had to make some pour over coffee since this is a coffee leftover day and I barely had two cups to have and that is not nearly enough…need to put the grocery list together but I really don’t have a lot of stuff to get other than the BAH that will feed me for a good week…I think I’ve got enough gas to heat it on the grill but I’ll have to get a refill next week…starting to be able to chew more normally as the pain subsides from the sockets and I really hope the new normal allows me to eat better…damn, it’s already 7am and I need to get going but I wonder why? I could wait til 8 to get on the bike and I’d still be done by 10 so I think I’ll have at least one more cup of coffee and sit here for at least a half hour….more later…
An easier day…
Well…took an easier day today with just doing two indoor rides since it never got out of the 30′s here and I just didn’t want to be that cold…especially in April…I did use some of the sourdough starter that I fed yesterday to make the dough for a loaf I’ll bake tomorrow but I’m not sure if I can even eat it yet…I guess we’ll see…going to have another cold one tomorrow so I’ll be inside for one more day then I have to start working on the yard and ride outdoors….felt really crappy when I got up today but two hard rides fixed that along with non stop eating all day since I was way under on calories for 5 days in a row and that is not good for me…okay…I have a weird science fiction movie called “Mickey 17″ that I want to watch…
Missed it by a bit…
Well…okay, I’m the first person to admit he’s wrong…I missed the stock market prediction from earlier today…in the first minute of trading the market was down by almost 1,400 points but it rallied and now it’s only down by 1,000 points…and yes that is sarcasm…and thousand point drop still means the market is down almost 5,000 points in the past three days and the tariffs have just started to kick in…one thing I forgot about was how much damage was done to farmers the last time idiot boy started throwing tariffs around…I mean having to bail out farmers to the tune of 30 billion dollars and with the new 25% tariffs that China has just levied, there will be no market for any grain or bean that is grown here…oh, and do you know about potash? It’s a component in fertilizer that we get 90% of from Canada…and it’s now 25% more expensive and that will break a lot of farmers here…you know…the idiots who voted for the idiot in chief…wreckage everywhere…geez…
A 3,000 point drop?
Well…just a shorty on the crash in the Asian markets overnight…they are all down from 11 to 20% and this is something that has never happened before…so I think we may be looking at a 3,000 point drop in our stock markets today and that would make for over 5,000 points down in the past 3 days…and it is all down to one idiot who knows nothing about economics and has bankrupted everything he has ever touched…so when does the business revolt start…he has cost his billionaire buddies trillions of dollars and it could get to 20 trillion in lost wealth by the end of the day today…but the sick thing is they still have enough money to buy on the dip and make even more money when stocks start to climb again…but that won’t help the 401K investors who are going to lose it all…hey maga assholes, you voted for this and again, I hope you lose everything and end up starving on the streets…you deserve it…geez…
April 7th
Well…I don’t think I’ve ever felt this crappy in the morning…my jaw hurts and I’ve already taken something for it and this is getting really, really old….I’ve already eaten something to see if not eating enough is part of it as I think it is….going to try to eat constantly today as my jaw will allow…and I may have to order some flonase since my allergies are terrible and have been for a week…will need to work on the yard later in the week but I’m not going out there when it’s in the 30′s…I do need more coffee if I’m ever going to get moving today…and that’s not going to be until 8am or so and I’m not doing more than 2 rides today…damn, I hate being this whiny but I really do feel like crap…going to buy another big assed ham this week since Meijers has them on sale for 89 cents a pound but I’ve completely lost my sense of taste so it will be just eating for fuel and that sucks…I think I need a reset for my body but I don’t know how to do that…everything seems out of whack and all I want to do is melt into the couch and stare at the tv for the whole day…but I won’t since I know that getting on the bike will make me feel better….more later….
My teeth hurt…
Well…darn, me teeth hurt today and I’m pretty sure it’s from grinding them all day and eating and that just sucks…oh, well…I did get an outdoor ride in today but took it much easier so I didn’t feel rotten after doing it…but my energy level is still pretty low right now but with no food and 30 miles every day even my Mastodon friends are concerned…so, I’ll have to do better so as to not alarm people…I did feed my sourdough starter since I’m going to make a loaf later in the week..and it took off like crazy after having it in the fridge for weeks…but I’ll have to cut the crusts off of the slices since I can’t take hard food until the sockets heal…I can still taste the numbing agents they used on me since they used so much to get the teeth done…really bitter and I hope it goes away soon…just accidentally ran my electric tooth brush across one of the sockets and it felt like an electric shock…yow!
Trump’s tariffs are illegal…
Well…I wonder if any repub has ever read the constitution? If they have, then they missed the part where it states clearly that congress has the power to set tariffs and it’s in plain English…” The congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imports, and excises” that includes any tariffs or taxes that idiot boy both imposes on the country by his stupid executive orders…even the remaining Koch brother has just filed a suit against trump to get rid of this stupid trade war that idiot boy started….and I’ll make another prediction on the stock market tomorrow…it’s going to regain part of the 3,300 points it lost in two days last week and then the bears will take over and we’ll see another 1,000 point drop that will continue until the idiot drops the tariffs…geez…
April 6th
Well…I think my body has finally given up on me after it went flat yesterday on the outdoor ride and not being able to drag my butt out of bed without lying there for more than a half hour…and that is just not me…I’ve always been able to just pop out of bed when I wake up but I have zero energy and I sure hope it’s not going to be the new normal….and I need to figure out why I’m grinding my teeth so much that I just had to take something for the pain…so I think I do need to take it a bit easy today and only do two rides indoors and call it good…it’s going to be in the 30′s for highs Monday and Tuesday and that sucks for April…I do need to get started on the yard work this week and I may even have to mow the lawn in the next 10 days or so and I’m just not looking forward to that…oh, well…with not being able to eat so much, I’m going to have a lot of food that I will be discarding this week as I try to get back into the normal routine and that sucks…going to steam some cauliflower to go with the leftover chicken thighs and mashed potatoes for lunch and then use up the ham soup and start thinking about what to make tomorrow…maybe some fish? Not much to do today…need to get moving now but I really do need more coffee first so I won’t be on the bike til 7:30…Man U play City at 11:30 but they suck so badly that I probably won’t watch the match….more later…
JP Morgan goes there…
Well…last week JP Morgan (the investment firm) put out a forecast that we were probably heading for a recession in the 3rd quarter and just a day later changed that to it’s dead certain the we will be in a recession later in the year with the tariffs being the cause…and major economists across the world are calling idiot boy’s imposition of tariffs on everything “the biggest economic mistake in history” that will cost the average American family over 3,000 dollars a year…how that for increasing taxes maga folks? You did this and I don’t want to hear your sob stories when you run out of food and money…you’ll be able to see the results of these tariffs starting in grocery stores this week but I’ve already seen it in staples…I mean when the hell was a 5 pound bag of flour over 5 bucks that it’s going for now? Not until the idiot trump…with the protests going on across the country and world against trump destroying the US, millions of people are turning out to say hell no to letting a South African immigrant fire 300,000 federal workers…I like what California is doing with setting up independent trade agreements with other countries that will bypass the tariffs…after all, California has the 5th largest economy in the world and I’ll bet there are plenty of countries that want sane trade policies…keep up the resistance, folks…we have to…geez…
Having a hell of a time…
Well…damn, this has been a tough day for me…have had no energy all day and dragging my butt out to do the third outdoors today was all I could do and my legs went completely flat on the way back so the pedal up the final hill up to here was just brutal…and I’m not sure what the heck it is…I know I haven’t been eating much and had two days of only one meal this week along with two meal days of only about 800 calories so I guess that’s probably it…but eating takes so much concentration since the dental work to not hurt myself that I just don’t want to do it…I did see Stupid the turkey today after not seeing him for a few days and that was a relief…I fully expect to see him flattened on the pavement since he has no fear of cars…I am going to try to get to a political one later today but I need to do the weight work first and it’s already 3pm…maybe the lack of energy is allergies…my head is plugged up and I’m coughing but not badly enough for this feeling…oh,well…
