Got some work done…

Well…I wonder when I’m going to actually take a day off? I know I’ve had the intention of taking one just to heal up some since I’m just damn sore all the time but it never works out that way…like today, I was not going to do much other than get the bike rides in and then run an errand this afternoon…so, instead of that…I washed the car early before it got warm enough to get on the bike in shorts, then got on the bike and did a hard 15…and when I was out, I turned right instead of left to go take a look at a trail I hadn’t been on…and it took me across the road to a new part of the park that added an extra 3 mile loop and that is just too cool…I now have more places to explore and with having part of the trail shut down for construction, I now can get back to 15 full miles without having to re-ride much of it….then I came back here and made lunch, then back on the bike for another hard 15…yeah, pretty stupid when I’m so sore…and then I was supposed to run an errand but that got cancelled and I just couldn’t sit here and do nothing when it is so nice outside so I went out to prep all of the garden and flower spaces and continue to clean up the shrubs in the front of the house along with re-setting some blocks in back that had gotten all wonky…then I took a look at the flower seeds I bought and found that the morning glories I got to put in the small spaces out front grow to be 6-8 feet tall so I don’ think they will work with the other ones that grow to be 18 inches tall….so, I’m going to put them in by the shrubs in front since I have  a bare area in there that would be fine with a 6 foot tall plant…and I think I’ll put them in right next to the garage door, too so they can lean against the garage when they get tall….I am now curious how they are going to look when they grow….I even stood back and took a look at both the front and back yards today and I think I’ve made good progress with just working on them for a couple of weeks…the place looks like someone lives here again and that is pretty cool….and I have two more days of good weather to keep making progress before it gets cold again…I think I may even plant the flower seeds tomorrow since they take from 7-21 days to come up and the cold will be gone by then….along with the overflow garden that I am going to start everything with seeds….going to have lots of veggies by the end of July and I hope I can give lots of them away, too….I still need to take a day off….

Don’t negotiate with terrorists….

Well…with Michigan now the laughingstock of the country after the bully boys with their guns tried to get to the floor of house here yesterday, the only piece of advice I have for our governor is “don’t negotiate with terrorists”. Let’s be blunt…this storming of our state house is the definition of terrorism…”the use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims…”…can anyone say that having a bunch of screaming, armed, white men trying to get into your work place to force the “opening” of the state is not intimidation for political purposes? Then you have the idiot in chief weighing in yesterday with the idea that Whitmer should negotiate with these terrorists to make them go away….making these protests overtly political and no different that any other act of terroism on our soil…I mean, what’s next? Shooting some people to get their way? and the way that the cops reacted to these assholes was just as sick…laughing and joking with them as they tried to harm the people and buildings that are sworn to protect…I wonder what would have happened if these weren’t white, right wing thugs? Substitute black or Muslim and you’ll have your answer…we’d be mourning the dead and wondering how we got there.  I just don’t think our governor should yield one iota to these crybaby assholes…after all, she has a plan based on science and experts and I’m sure that there is not one expert on pandemics in that mob yesterday….

May 1st

Well…that was a little better…didn’t get up til almost 6 this morning but the cost of getting some sleep has me feeling really crappy….and I should have some energy but don’t…maybe that will wait until I have some coffee…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get a lot done but clean the living room…and I don’t think I’ll do much today but make a run out to HF to get the compressor I have been thinking about for a month now but I want to wait until it’s warm enough to put the top down so that will be near noon…need to get a bike ride in first and would like to get two in today but I have an errand to run this afternoon so I may not have time….it looks like I’m going to have to wait to put the garden in until at least another week with the cold that is coming in but I am going to put the flower seeds in this weekend and just take a chance that the couple of days in the 30′s won’t kill them if they come up that soon….I think I may start seeds in the overflow garden too, since they are just extras and I am curious to see how seeds will work outside….not much to do today…need to just ease into this one with feeling so crappy and low energy…man, I could go back to sleep right now but I won’t….more later…
