Well…up a little earlier than I have been lately and I think it’s from going commando with no sleep aids at all…and that is the new goal…to try to figure out how to sleep with just me trying it…a new goal…yay! Yeah, that’s sarcasm…sure as hell don’t need any more goals at my age…had an okay day yesterday but really did need to take it easy after injuring my right hip working on the yard…but that happens every time I do that so no big deal…and it’s better today and should be healed by tomorrow…we had a nice little rain yesterday but I’m still waiting for a good storm to come through…and it’s supposed to rain about 11 so I’ll be able to get the 2nd ride in after the grocery run this morning…I do have groceries to get this morning and am still going to continue to take stuff out of the freezer..might even get a pork shoulder today with Meijers having it on sale for 1.79 a pound and that is cheaper than any other protein right now…but only if they have a small one…sure don’t need a 12 pounder for just me…I do need to get started on the windows this week and I think I’ll start with the kitchen since I look through those windows the most…more later…
Weird sunscreen effects…
Well…after getting my skin cancer removed a few months back, my dermatologist recommended that I use 100 sunscreen whenever I’m outdoors…so I have and there has been a weird effect from it…haven’t gotten any color at all from the sun except for the freckles I inherited from my mother…all over my arms and legs freckles have been popping out to the point that I have them in places I’ve never had them before…I mean my arms are coated with them and my legs are catching up to that…and I wonder if they were just hidden from my skin actually getting tanned that is not happening now? All I know is it’s weird sitting here with my mother’s skin on me…full of freckles and white…weird…
This is who they are…
Well…after stupid cage fighting match where the idiot desecrated the WH with his low life assholes, one steroid addled asshole even stood in the ring and screamed that Michele Obama was a man…I got new for you asshole…Michelle is not a man and neither are you…this is who idiot boy thinks are the “real Americans” who he surrounds himself with and it really does show who they are…when I was young, people like this were called “white trash” and I still think the moniker fits…this is how crass and low idiot boy has sunk the institutions that used to garner respect in this country…and for me personally, his group of lowlifes who have wrapped themselves in the flag have ruined what should be a symbol for good and whenever I see the flag now all I can think of is idiot boy’s fondling of it onstage and it makes me want to never see it again…this is how he and his cretins have debased all that was good about this country and I’m not sure if it can ever be repaired…geez…
June 16th
Well…up and running at 5:37 this morning and I feel bad that sleeping at all was aided by a benadryl last night…but it’s either that or getting up at 4am again and my body just can’t take that right now…after all the yard work yesterday, I’m pretty sore everywhere just like normal and my right hip is howling that I hope will go away after I get it warmed up on the bike…need to get out before 7am with the little rain that is coming in but the thunderstorms they are forecasting just aren’t going to happen with how the radar looks…might be out in some wind this morning since they have a beach hazard statement on and that usually means wind and waves at the beach…I do feel okay this morning and have a little energy so I’m going to toast a bagel to keep the fuel levels up for the rides…going to be eating out of the freezer again today but will be getting more chicken at aldis tomorrow since it makes easy meals…maybe masala later in the week…or another stir fry…not much to do today…after the outdoor work, I need to get started on cleaning the windows for the summer and I may start on the kitchen today…who knows? More later…
Busy, busy day…
Well…it’s been a busy day today with getting on the bike at 6:20 am and getting two rides in before 9am and then got right to the yard work I had to do…trimmed the shrub that is next to the back door and the mulberry tree that has so many berries on it that the branches were too low for me to mow under them…then trimmed all the other trees and bushes, ran the string trimmer, mowed the lawn, did the weed walk, and then treated the ant nests that were taking over the yard…and that took me til after 12 and I thought that was enough for the day…so I made another egg salad sandwich for lunch and I figured out why the one I made yesterday just didn’t taste right…I used mayo instead of whip and as soon as I tasted today’s sandwich it had the taste it was supposed to have so no more mayo for those…for a while, whip had a strange taste to me but I guess it’s better now…just started the latest “Reacher” novel and I’m going to spend the rest of the afternoon just reading with the world cup on in the background…have a chicken breast to bake with a potato and corn for dinner but I will need to figure out tomorrow’s meals soon…man, I’m going to be sore tomorrow..took an ibuprofen before I got started today and that helped with my back but everything else hurts so I’m going to take it easy for a while…
Look at the details..
Well…as the idiot trump ties to take a victory lap on the kinda sorta maybe deal with Iran, the consensus is that idiot boy lost the war and is giving away the store just so he doesn’t have to deal with it anymore…and you know what he said about Obama when the JCPOA was signed…”Obama is giving Iran pallets of money to sign the deal”…well, if Obama was giving them “pallets”, idiot boy is giving them semi truck loads of money by unfreezing Iranian assets and to add to that, he is promising to rebuild all the damage to Iran to the tune of 300 billion dollars…so the idiot has cost us half a TRILLION dollars since he was so stupid he believed that Iran would fold after a few bombs were dropped…and his fetish of Iranian nuclear capability is nowhere to be seen in the “deal” but is just something to be talked about later…this “deal” is just more of the same half assed bullshit he has done his entire life…talk a good game and then fold when the going gets tough…what a loser…geez…
June 15th
Well…didn’t get out of bed til almost 6am this morning and I wonder if I should just declare victory and stop thinking about it? That would be the easy thing to do and just as effective as worrying about it anymore…I did sleep okay, for me, so again, probably just should move on…have a huge busy day today with the rides and then working on the yard the rest of the morning…need to trim the shrub near the back door, do the string trimming, mow the lawn, and then hit it with weed killer with a weed walk…and that is going to exhaust me by noon so the afternoon will be recovery time with ibuprofen to ease the pain that is going to come…hell, I already hurt everywhere so I probably should take something for it right now…it’s cold out there at only 55 degrees but I am going out in shorts…and need to get off my butt and get out in 13 minutes to get the rides in before 9am…not sure if an egg sandwich and an omelet was enough to eat yesterday to support the amount of work I have to do today but I guess I’ll find out soon enough…more later…
Got behind and never caught up…
Well…not sure how it happened, but the day got away from me almost as soon as I got up today with the rain forcing me to wait til almost 11 before I could get on the bike…and that made it after 1 before I got the 2nd ride in…so all I did was sit here and watch the F1 race this morning and do the weight work and that is a lot harder for me than it looks…after I got back from the rides, I decided to do the bedding which this time included bleaching to get the oil from my skin out of it that just laundry soap wouldn’t remove…after that I decided to do my pillows, too since they had gotten pretty stained from me sweating on them…so I bleached them, too and now I just put the pillows back in the dryer since they are still damp after the first pass through and that won’t be comfortable to sleep on..I did use the bleach dispenser on the washer that appears to work pretty good so that is cool…and I made another batch of pickled red onions since I had used up the first batch and I made egg salad and an omelet to eat today and I think that will be the meals for tomorrow, too…it’s now 6:30 and I need to take a short break before I do anything else…
The great “dealmaker”
Well…you all knew how this was going to work, didn’t you? The idiot tears up the Iran deal that Obama and the professionals negotiated, spends 200 billion dollars on a war that he lost, and now says that he made a “deal” with Iran that does not accomplish what the JCPOA did years ago…and now fox news and all of the right wing propaganda networks are pushing this as the greatest negotiations ever done by anyone in the history of the world…never mind that idiot boy was too busy with his cage fight and his ballroom to even sit in on any of the talks…as always, he claims credit for something he didn’t do…and Iran is still claiming control of the strait of Hormuz where they are going to charge billions of dollars in tolls that the idiot is just fine with since this “agreement” gives him cover to stop talking about Iran since he is “bored” with it and he has the attention span of a gnat…this is biggest piece of loser shit I’ve seen in my lifetime…that 200 billion dollars could have put every kid in the country through college for free and paid for Medicare for everyone along with shoring up SS and Medicare…but hey, I guess 200 billion is a deal so he doesn’t have to talk about Iran anymore…geez…
June 14th
Well…damn, slept on my right eye last night and now it’s blurry and that sucks…and we’re supposed to get t-storms in a few minutes so I won’t be getting out on the bike til almost 10 this morning and I really don’t know how to just sit here and wait it out…but I guess I’ll have to…at least the F1 race is on at 8am so that will give me something to do…just poured the 1st cup of coffee and I really hope it works really, really soon…might even have to grind some beans for some pour over if the 7 leftover cups in the coffee maker is not enough…slept pretty crappy last night but that’s normal and I wish it weren’t…not as worn out as a few days ago but I can feel this is not going to be what I need to feel okay…just getting old, I guess…and I don’t like it much…the 24 hours of LeMans still has 4 hours to go and that is nice background noise to start the day…haven’t really watched much of it…I’d like it if they would show some of the GT cars instead of just the prototypes…made some hard boiled eggs yesterday and I hope the old ones I used are still good..will have to check that before I make egg salad for lunch…not much to do today…just going to wing it and dance around the rain this morning and hope I can get the rides done before noon…need to get on the weights…more later…
