Well…running a little late this morning and I’m not sure why…woke up feeling a little off today and my body is telling me there is something wrong in a big way….slept okay last night but the tooth is hurting this morning but nothing out of the ordinary so I guess I’ll just wait for the ibuprofen to kick in….didn’t get much done yesterday but I did get a few things that needed to be done done…and more of the same today with a couple of errands to run then some more work around here….then there will be a lull that I am going to use to send more resumes…yay….not much to do today….need to get a workout in and then run the errands…have to get the trash out today since it is piling up and I need to get all the bones out of the fridge before I cook more…mote later….
Getting bored….
Well…I have been thinking and feeling guilty about not doing these as regularly as I should and I think I’ve hit on why…I’m getting bored with me…bored with my life, bored with going two days without talking to a single human being…and I am really bored with looking for work all day every day. So, what’s to do about it? Have been thinking about a few things but some of them cost money and that’s just not a viable plan right now….I might start that third novel and put the pages up as I finish them…that would be something to do at least and it would make the time go by but I’m not sure I want to do that much work right now….I think part of this whole malaise is the coming below zero weather and the fear that the car won’t start when it’s 8 below Tuesday morning or when it’s 6 below Wed morning…I’m already really tired of the cold and the snow that is keeping me off the bike…I just feel cranky and you can see it in this post….okay…time to watch some football….and be bored some more…
December 11th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was a bonus…slept okay but still no dreams so it seems like only half sleeping….but it was nice to have clean sheets and pillow cases for the night…still tired this morning, though, and I think it may be a veg day today with soccer starting right now and continuing until around one…and man U plays at 11 so that will be two hours of couching it at least….not much to do today….I am still trying to get the kitchen cleaned and I may get to part of it this aft but I am still down from the cold weather and no exercise and I may need to get out for a walk or something….
Just shaking my head….
Well….as usual, when I was reading today I found an article that left me shaking my head about the stupidity of people here in the US…and that happens more and more frequently lately. In a survey that the article was reporting on, 40% of the people polled still think that there were weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq…and, even more troubling than that, there are an almost equal number in the survey that still think Obama wasn’t born in the US…how many times do these false legends have to be debunked before people believe the truth? I find this willful ignorance to be one of the most troubling trends in US life today…that people who should know better believe this crap that they are spoon fed daily by Fox…I guess I should question their intelligence if they watch Fox…I wonder if just watching Fox lowers your IQ? Sure seems like it…geez…
January 10th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was okay, too….up early again today and had to do a short grocery run so I am running a little late but not too bad….didn’t sleep as well as I wanted but that still normal for where I’m at right now….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will fix that today with getting the kitchen cleaned and doing the shower…have all kind of grease spots that need to be removed and I’m not sure where they came from…must have been when I was working on the bike last time….I am going to cook today…making some venison tacos for lunch and then leftovers for later….not much to do today….just going to veg around a little and then clean…and there is soccer and football so I shouldn’t be too bored….
One last thing…..happy birthday to Donadl Fagen…67 today…oh, and Rod Stewart, too…70 today….
January 9th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much….slept crappy again but that is pretty normal and the no dreams are, too….the tooth is acting up again today but I think it’s more from grinding my teeth than anything else…got the whole day in yesterday with almost no pain so that was a good one…may have to take some ibuprofen this morning to head the pain off but that’s not bad if I only need one….and the flu is over but I still am low on energy that I hope will go away in a few days….I am a little depressed with the snow last night but it doesn’t look as bad as forecast so that was a little cool…but, I was plowing snow with the bottom of the car on the way out to get the papers…..not much to do today…pool, of course…and I am looking forward to it after missing last week…but that is it….have a bunch of free movie channels this weekend so that will make it a pretty veggie one…more later…
Oh, forgot to say happy birthday to Jimmy Page…71 today…
It is to laugh….
Well….I am still amazed at the chutzpa that the repubs have been showing over the past day or so…no, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised or amazed…they have been taking credit for things that they haven’t done for years and years now…I guess that’s because they haven’t done anything for at least the past six years. But now, they have given me the biggest laugh that I’ve had in quite a while…with ole Mitch McConnell’s statement yesterday that the growth in the economy in the past quarter was due to the “anticipation” that the repubs were going to take over the congress…not that it is a continuation of the trends for the entire year…not that government spending is up almost 10% in the last quarter…or that demand is starting to rise…nope, it just that business was “anticipating” the glorious days of repub control of congress and all of the giveaways they are expecting since they bought the repub party lock stock and barrel……you do kind of have to admire…no, I won’t say that…there is nothing about this bunch of liars that is worthy of admiration….just contempt….geez…
January 8th
Well…running early today since I’ve been up since 5 or so and thought I’d get this done before the grocery run….it was an okay day yesterday but so damn cold all day that I should have just let the car run all day since I had errands to do and then went out to have a couple with G….slept a little crappy last night but still better than normal so I’m not going to bitch too much…but I did lose one of my pairs of reading lasses here in the place somewhere and it is irritating the heck out of me since this place is not the Taj Mahal….just too strange but I’m sure I’ll find them some time today….I am finally completely over the flu and that feels good…probably should have said that….not much to do today…have the grocery run and then I’m going to kind of hibernate the rest of the day since it is suppose to snow this aft and I don’t have anywhere to be anyway…at least it’s up to 10 already so I know the car will start today….more later…
The flu chronicles end….
Well…when I woke up this morning I knew there would be one of these that I had to write….since I felt pretty good and energetic since then I think it is time to declare the flu chronicles at their end. It has been one of the easiest flus that I can remember with it only being 6 days from start to finish and there really only being two days of debilitating sickness…of course, there were the relapses that I expected as the time went on but they never reached the level of sickness that I expected…I think some it the chills were a part of the fact that it has been damn cold outside all week and it is only 8 degrees right now as I write this at 4 pm on Wednesday. So, I am glad to say goodbye to the flu and the chronicles…hope it is the last one for the year….
This is what it’s going to be like…
Well…didn’t have to wait too long to see what at a repub dominated congress was going to look like and you only have to see the first three things they worked on to know…the first thing…the very first thing was to pass a bill to cut SS disability payments and to forbid borrowing from the retirement trust fund to pay for the disability side….nevermind that this has been done 15 times in the past 30 years with no effect on retirees and it is the first step in their plan to privatize the disability portion of SS and then the rest of the programs…..the second thing was watering down of Wall street regulations…allowing more of the shenanigans that melted down the economy in 2008…and the third is the 20 week abortion ban that these asses are salivating at and thing will lead to the repeal of Roe v. Wade…never mind that the supreme court has said that these bans are illegal…but you and I know the repubs only pay attention to the Constitution when it suits their partisan goals…..get out the veto pen Obama….you’re going to need it….
