Well…it appears that the dems are stiffening their spines on not funding DHS and ICE and it’s about damn time…so the dems are going to let that part of the government shut down and it was a smart move on their part to separate out the DHS and ICE funding from the big spending bill so the repubs couldn’t hold the whole country hostage with a general government shutdown…after all, the repubs wanted to double funding for ICE which would make it the largest part of the government…something that no one but the magas want…geez…
Just frickin exhausted…
Well…damn, I’m just exhausted this morning and I think the lack of sleep has caught up to me…have been up before 5am for ages now and that makes for about 5 hours of sleep a night and that’s not enough…and I’ve had 5 days in a row of only one meal a day and that needs to change today…so I’ve already had a bagel and will have a burrito for lunch and then a chicken wrap again for dinner… and that will still be around 1K calories for the day…and I have so little energy that I only did one ride this morning and I’ll take it easy the rest of the day…got good news yesterday when my brother called to tell me that he has hired a couple of guys to exchange the appliances in the SIL’s house so I don’t have to do it and that is a relief…just can’t move fridges anymore…body just won’t take it…I do have the laundry started and that will be the work for the day…more later…
February 14th
Well…damn, out of bed before 5 again and I may have finally reached my breaking point with not sleeping…but I wonder what the effect will be…I know I’m feeling so damn worn out that even doing this seems like too much work…only had two small meals yesterday with a bean burrito and a chicken wrap and I’m sure that is under 800 calories for the day…I did get a little bit of work done yesterday and I’m going to try to keep that up today…but I do need to figure out meals…have one more burrito to make but the 2nd meal is going to be a challenge…maybe a pizza? Have 4 of those in the freezer and need to use some of them…it did get over freezing yesterday and it’s supposed to be nearly 40 today and it looks like an 8th day of no snow and I’ll take that all day long…need to get going right now and get the weight work started but I need more coffee first…more later…
Another no snow day…
Well…it’s not snowing here for the 7th day in a row and that hasn’t happened since October of last year…and it may not snow again until Next Wed…yay! Had everything done today by 10:30am and even washed all of the throw rugs I use in front of the kitchen sink and the washer/dryer…even vacuumed the floor downstairs where I tore boxes down to go out to the trash…it is up over freezing right now so we may lose a little snow and we need to…still have 2 feet of it on the yard along with the huge piles of snow that will probably be there until April or later….still need to work on what I want to see in Italy so I think I’ll start with Rome right now…
“Nobody thought this could happen here..”
Well…another day, another delusional trump voting town gets a taste of ICE and is basically destroyed in the process…and the only comments that these morons had was “nobody thought this could happen here”…in blood red Wilder Idaho that voted 91% for the idiot trump and that used to have a big Hispanic population, businesses are closing due to the arrest of all of the Hispanic workers that were employed there…and that included people who were here legally…these stupid, stupid people lament the same thing…that idiot boy said he would just deport “criminals” and everyone deported in these raids weren’t…many of them were long term residents that farmers and ranchers relied on to run their businesses and this is a double blow to farmers who have already had export markets closed to them by the idiot’s tariffs and now they won’t have the workers to continue to farm…how’s that for your ignorance and hate maga voters? I really do hope your cities and businesses fail due to your stupidity by voting for the worst person in the world…geez…
February 13th
Well…boy, sleeping this morning was a little different…up at 4:14 but was able to get back to kinda sleep until almost 6am and that make me later for getting my day started..6:20 and I just took my first sip of coffee so I am so damn late that I don’t think I’ll catch up…will need to get the weight work done by 7am and get on the bike…luckily, I don’t have to go anywhere today and I’ll be using up leftovers so I don’t have to cook…have been doing the one meal thing for a while now and I need to keep it up to lose the 10 pounds I need to…it looks like the 7th day of no snow but we’re not warm enough to melt it much…only 17 degrees right now but it is supposed to get above freezing for the next few days and still no snow in the forecast so I’ll take it…not sure why it should be but I am sore all over today and it may but how I slept last night…have been using voltarin on my left elbow and right thumb and I may have to do that again this morning before I get on the bike…more later…
Another no snow day…
Well…with no snow today, it makes it 6 days in a row without any and I’ll take that…the next precip is rain next Wed as it’s going to get into the 40’s for a few days…inching closer to March when we could see a bit of a warm up…had to run an errand this morning since I was out of books and needed more from the library…and I stopped at Aldis to get some dijon mustard but they didn’t have any so I guess I’ll get it next week…other than that and the normal stuff, didn’t get much done today but put the trash out…the cream I’m putting on my face has started to burn pretty badly as it eats down though the skin and I still have a week to go with it…ouch…and now the US men’s hockey team plays in about a half hour and then the Duels from Daytona are on at 7pm so I won’t have to burn any shows tonight or tomorrow night with the truck race Friday night…more reading…
Crappy numbers and dropping…
Well…the new approval numbers on the idiot trump are in and they are the worse of any president in history…only 40% of Americans approve of the job he’s doing…my question is “why the hell is it not lower”…40% of the people think this senile, hateful asshole is doing a good job? And the low information voters who bought the idiot’s lies and voted for him are turning away in a huge swing that affirms that there is going to be a bloodbath for the repubs in November since these voters vote how they are doing personally and with inflation up and jobs down, they know idiot boy is only governing for the rich since they are doing just fine and no one else is…and then let’s add in the roving gangs of ICE thugs who are now attacking American citizens for watching them kidnap people off the streets and, as I’ve said before, people are waking up to how horrible trump and his cronies are and the repubs will pay for it this fall…it can’t get here soon enough…geez…
February 12th
Well…I sure as hell don’t want to get out of bed at any time with a 4 in it so I stayed in bed for another hour and out of bed at 5:07…and that is still way too damn early…still pretty worn out but need to get going soon since I have errands to run today…forgot a bunch of stuff from the grocery run and I can’t figure out how I let myself run out of dijon and spicy brown mustard…it is only 11 degrees out there and I am so damn tired of the cold…will have to start the car and let it run for 15 minutes or so before I go out…it may be a one ride day today since I am out of energy and I’ve only been up for 25 minutes…have leftovers for today but I will need to make a pizza to use up the green pepper I got Tuesday but it was only 89cents so I guess there is no urgency to use it before it spoils…not much to do today…just need to pour coffee down and get going in 25 minutes…the US plays in Olympic hockey this aft and the the Duels at Daytona is on tonight so I’ll have things to watch today…more later…
It’s trump’s economy…
Well…it’s totally idiot boy’s economy now with the atrocious job numbers that came out today…for all of 2025 there were only 181,000 jobs added in total…yep, you read that right…from an economy given to him from Biden that was adding 2-300,000 jobs every month, the idiot trump and his stupid tariffs have essentially stopped the economy from growing…I am so glad I’m retired and don’t have to look for work in this wreck of an economy that the repubs have let trump foist on the country…but the apologists on the right are out in force today trying to spin the bad jobs numbers by saying it’s from forcibly deporting so many illegal criminals…how the hell that connects to anything is just in their addled brains…geez…
