Well…I’m pretty sure that getting 3 1/2 hours of sleep is not a good thing…I am so damn beat right now that it’s tough to just sit here and do this…but the weird thing is that I tried to take a nap and got about 15 minutes before I woke up and I can tell that any more is just not going to happen….so, I decided to to defrost the upstairs freezer…well…not really defrost it so much as just scraping the frost buildup out of it….and I found that my car ice scraper works perfectly for it and makes short work of it…so that was cool…I did get out for a grocery run this morning and the car started right up after the dead battery Sunday and just running it for 15 minutes or so then….so it was good to drive it a little…it doesn’t like sitting and is not idling right but getting some injector cleaner should help that….I do need to put the summer wheels back on this week so I can order the new tires for it next week after I pay off my Capital One card…and I got everything I needed at the grocery store…really just wanted to get a Cooks ham for 89 cents a pound and got that so I’ll be eating off that thing for a week…and I got my green bean seeds to plant so I think I have everything for the garden….but, I’m so damn tired…not sure if I should try to do more or just give up and veg…probably just veg and start over tomorrow….I do want to get out to HF to get my new little compressor this week and they have micro fiber towels on sale for 4 of them for 69 cents and they are really hand for dusting around here so I need some of those, too…will probably spend 60 bucks or so there but then I shut everything down and no more spending for quite a while….especially since they are going to stiff people who are getting SS and don’t have to file taxes…no 1200 buck stimulus check and it’s trump’s fault since he told the IRS not to pay anyone who is so poor they don’t owe taxes…what a prick…

250,000 dead is now acceptable?
Well…I really think it’s dereliction of duty for the media to allow the idiot trump to start to normalize the death of 250,000 Americans and are not holding him accountable for any of them…even though it was his denial and incompetence that is responsible for most for them. They just can’t allow those goalposts to be picked up and moved a hundred miles down the road after idiot boy said at the start that “it’s just one guy coming in from China and it will be over quickly” and downplayed that there was any threat at all when an early response like we have here in Michigan would have at least lessened the outbreak…and the bungling of a testing program that would have basically tested everyone in an area with an outbreak would have allowed us to recognize people who were infected but not showing symptoms yet and isolate them would have stopped the spread…just like South Korea did. The only thing I have to scream at the top of my lungs to the media is “do your damn jobs” stop following the shiny new thing that idiot boy puts out there every day…stop going to his daily campaign rallies and reporting on people like the “pillow guy” who have no damn business being at the briefing in the first place…after all, none of this is normal and if you keep trying to normalize trump and his mental illness it will only result in more and more dead….and remember your failings in 2016…when you ignored trump’s obvious unfitness for office and wasted gallons of ink on Hillary’s frickin e-mails…it’s partially your fault that Americans are dying…so do better this time….
April 1st
Well…damn…it was a 4:01 morning today with getting up at 2 for the first time….so that makes it a 3 1/2 hour night and that takes me back to my college days when I had those kinds of nights for 4 years…but, I was in my 20s then and pretty invincible…not the old guy I am now…was a little worried yesterday that I was getting a fever and it was going to progress into something bad…but, I almost stopped coughing and the fever stayed low so I think it will be okay…I do have a bug of some kind but it feels more like a cold than anything else since I’m not sore or tired…and I should be with not sleeping much…it’s a little weird to get up so early to have to wait for 2 hours for the coffee to brew but I don’t want to start too early so I’ll be out by 7….didn’t get much done yesterday and today is probably going to be the same with not sleeping….I know my energy is going to run out really early and will probably only last until the bike ride later this morning…I am going to head out for groceries this morning to try to get a cheap ham at Meijers and a few other things that I need before they start restricting who can get what and there are long lines out the door while they limit the number of people in the store at any one time…with the ham, I don’t have to go out again for 6 weeks or so…I will miss having milk with meals but I guess I’d better get used to it since I am not going to stand in line for hours for food…booze maybe…but not food….more later…
