January 9th

Well…it was a long, boring day yesterday and I think I barely survived it….and that boredom continues today….and I feel crappy to go along with it so it’s the perfect storm of crappiness….oh, well…at least my back doesn’t hurt this morning so that is something….I think I may have slept okay last night but there were no dreams to make me know it….didn’t get anything done yesterday and I don’t feel like doing anything today but I may cook some just to do something…..but, maybe not…who knows? I should run errands today but I think I’ll wait until tomorrow when it is warmer…..more later….

Drone racing leagues?

Well….if you were here last week, you read about my incredulity of the existence of professional fishing leagues and I couldn’t understand why anyone would watch them….but today, I read of an even weirder type of league…a drone racing league…yep, you heard it…grown men standing around racing drones and the winner is awarded a championship in drones I guess…now I do have a new most ridiculous thing I have ever seen on tv…I wonder what’s next…a pro house painting league? Or how about a pro vacuuming league that you can play in your own house? Man, I need to find something else to do….

January 8th

Well…I did get a few things done yesterday and this place is shaping up…finally….but, I feel pretty crappy this morning with going out to have a couple with K and then cocktails last night…still not over the bug yet but it is a low level one that just takes my energy away….so today will be a low key one and I think I’ll just watch soccer…the FA cup games are on until this aft so that will be my morning….T left for the Bahamas yesterday and that is kind of a change for me….no texts for two weeks leaves a little hole in my life but I’ll live through it….both the Wings an Lions lost yesterday and that is getting to be normal…maybe the Wings will get a superstar draft pick from it….the Lions…nope, not going to talk about them…the last win in a playoff game in 1991? That’s all that needs to be said….okay…going back to the couch to watch soccer and have more coffee…more later…

January 7th

Well….crap…they shut the power off last night and I had to reset all the clocks in here….that’s not an excuse for being late this morning…just got up late…and I feel pretty crappy this morning…all my fault but I don’t feel bad about it…I think it’s strange that I had an equipment failure Thurs night but the damn thing is still working today so I am breathing a sigh of relief…can’t afford to replace anything right now….didn’t get anything done yesterday and today looks about the same but I think there is vacuuming to be done so I think I’ll do that later…but, after the rest of the Man U match…more later…

No pool today….

Well…I just remembered to come back here today since I don’t have an excuse not to…Tom is still feeling crappy so no pool today and, with overdoing it last night, that’s not a bad thing…..I was in the car all morning and it was so cold I never shut it off for 2 1/2 hours…but, I made some cash so that is cool…think I have enough stashed now to get through the end of February and that takes a load off….so, I think I’ll end here and watch a little Star Trek on BBC….

January 6th

Well…feel pretty crappy this morning with going out with G for a few and it being a cocktail night…and I had an equipment failure when I got home that was a pain in the butt but it appears to have fixed itself which will have me scratching my head all day today….it was actually fun hanging out with G last night and that was a relief…..I’m never sure how it’s going to go….didn’t eat enough yesterday and that is part of how I feel right now….I can fix that today if I can get motivated to cook but I’m not sure if I will or not…I do have an errand to run this morning and I am going to make a little cash so that is cool….I did get more cleaning done yesterday but today I won’t…just going to recover and go out for pool later…more later….

These are the bastards YOU elected…

Well…I slipped today and read a headline to an article that read: Tea Party giddy to repeal the ACA….

The first thing that came to mind is that these are the bastards that YOU people elected…anyone that can be giddy to take health insurance away from 30 million people who could never afford it before can only be described as bastards…and that these same bastards are now going to condemn millions of people to never getting health insurance again due to pre-existing conditions…and are going to condemn millions more to bankruptcy under crushing medical bills….but, these are the bastards YOU elected….enjoy going broke, idiots….
