Well…back to getting up early after not taking anything to sleep last night but I sure like how I feel better than yesterday or the day before…so I can live with it…it’s grocery run day today and I can test out the old school tire balancing I had done last Friday that has to be better than the no weights on two tires…I can live with a little vibration but not with the car shaking so bad I couldn’t see out of the mirrors…it’s 45 here so I won’t have to warm the car up this morning before I head out…I still may have the trans and diff oil changed out to synthetic this summer to help the shifting when cold…don’t think we got enough rain for my lawn to survive since it’s turning yellow already after the drought we’ve had here and that sucks…oh, well…I do need to clean the kitchen today and have to start thinking about doing the windows for spring…the weather is going to break a bit over the weekend and we may see 70’s for only the 2nd time this year…is spring here? Ha, ha…yeah, that made me laugh…how can it be spring when it was 33 degrees yesterday morning? Not much to do today…just the normal stuff that I need to start here in a minute and then I’ll just let the day flow…more later…
This kinda sucks…
Well…still feeling pretty darn worn out today but better than yesterday and I still don’t know what the heck is going on…have been trying to eat more but there is just so much I can stand…went to the library today and it kinda sucks that two of the Lee Child Reacher novels were the source for two of the seasons of “Reacher” that I watched on the indoor bike the past couple of weeks…so I may go back to the library tomorrow to replace them with ones I haven’t seen because that only leaves me with 5 books to get me through the week and that is not enough…I did get an outdoor ride in today even though it was pretty cold and I had to laugh at the stupid turkeys I saw…one of them was on the curved bridge over Ruddiman creek trying to get through the mesh on the railings that keep people from falling in and a pair of them trying to figure out the fence around the old paper plant…just running back and forth 6 feet and banging their heads into the fence…then I saw one walking on the beach that then took off running across the beach road and took off and flew over the boardwalk to the dunes behind my water stop bench…never saw one on the beach before…weird, weird birds…time for reading…
Weakest “president” in history…
Well…as the idiot trump lurches from failure to failure and has lost the war against Iran, he now goes to China begging for some kind of diplomatic win that he can brag about..or lie about is more descriptive because whatever he does, he is going to lie and say that whatever agreement he gets from Xi is going to be the “bestest in history” and he will crow that his brilliance has defeated China like no one else could…so now let’s look at reality…idiot boy goes into this summit as the weakest president in the history of this country that is going to have his ass handed to him by Xi as he begs for a win and he’ll concede anything to get his talking point…how about promising to not defend Taiwan if Xi gives him some vague promise of future cooperation? That’s what’s on the table and no other “president” in history has abandoned our allies like idiot boy as he tries to align our country with Putin and the other autocrats in the world…just look what he tried to do in Hungary before their election…I mean sending the VP to stand next to the dictator at political rallies? That kind of bullshit has never been done and shows how desperate he is to keep dictators in power…geez…
May 12th
Well…this is new…it’s only 33 degrees here right now and there is a possibility of snow…in frickin May and in my long lifetime, I’ve never seen snow in May here in Michigan…ick…I did sleep a little better last night and not out of bed til after 5:30…dreams are still coming and if that’s all that comes from not drinking, I’ll take it… haven’t even started the coffee yet and I do feel a little better today and I hope that continues after the exhausting day I had yesterday…not sure what is going on but I don’t want another day like that today…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I need to clean some in the kitchen and do the microwave this morning along with the stove top that I haven’t cleaned and should with all of the cooking I’ve been doing lately…not sure if I’ll get out for an outdoor ride today with the rain/snow that is coming in but that will be okay…my thighs hurt pretty badly after abusing them the past few days…I do have about 1/4 of the last book to read today so I can get more tomorrow after the grocery run…it looks like we may be having a warm up later in the week with temps forecast to be around 70 but I’ll believe that when I see it…more later…
Just used up all day…
Well…today kind of sucked…I had no energy from the time I got up and still don’t have any at 5pm…not sure what this is about but I’m going to try to eat a big snack of popcorn later with real butter on it to try to do something to fix this…I feel like I’ve had lots of drinks last night and that is just wrong…I did have the energy to get an outdoor ride in but it’s been a slog to get anything else done today…I did try to eat more today and did have a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast and an orange for a snack before I had a bowl of soup for lunch and then another plate of stir fry for dinner…and the calories for all that has to be over 1k…I’m at a loss for what’s happening…oh, well…maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow…I did get laundry done today and needed it since I had run out of clothes to wear…it never got over 54 today and there is another freeze warning on for tonight and it’s going to be even colder with rain tomorrow…but we have a warm up coming for the weekend and we’ll be in the 70’s…finally…time to read…
The delusional idiot is at it again…
Well…how many times has the orange idiot trump declared there was an agreement to end the Iran war when it was just a lie? This delusional moron thinks he can create reality just by saying it but the Iranians have something to say about that…this is what you get when you fire all of the people who had the skills to negotiate an agreement…hey, kind of like the people who spent years negotiating the JCPOA ( the agreement that stopped Iran’s nuclear program under Obama that idiot boy tore up) who knew what the hell they were doing…and now we have two idiot real estate salesmen that the moron sent thinking that Iran would be as awed of them as idiot boy is who are into their 12th failure to get any kind of an agreement…and the Iranians grow stronger every day and all the idiot trump does is what he knows…to lie and bluster as a substitute for true diplomacy but the world has figured idiot boy out and they treat him with the disrespect he deserves…as he sits on the destruction of America’s standing in the world…we are the weakest we’ve ever been and it’s all because of the moron trump and his stupidity…geez…
May 11th
Well…got up this morning and feel like I’ve been on a 3 day bender and that is just wrong…I mean 5 weeks of no booze and I shouldn’t feel like this…it’s probably from not eating enough but shouldn’t an orange, a bowl of soup, and a plate of chicken stir fry be enough for me? Woke up at 3:04 this morning and just said “hell no” and was able to get back to sleep…kinda..until a little after 5 and even had some dreams in those two hours that I have no clue what they were about…but I’ll take them after not dreaming for years…one good thing yesterday was that I was able to taste peanut butter for the first time in years and I can’t let myself have hope that my sense of taste is going to improve…after all, it’s been years since that sense has been more than a memory to me and I don’t want to be disappointed…have been so sore the past few days that I had to take an ibuprofen yesterday and it looks like today, too…I sure hope this is not where I’m going to be with this old body as I get older…I did want to know what it feels like to be my age and I’m not sure if I like it too much if it’s going to feel like this…not much to do today…just the normal stuff that I need to get on right now…then read a bit til it gets warm enough to go outside for a ride…no cooking for the next few days but lots of reading to finish the last book before the grocery run Wed…more later…
A good day…
Well…had a pretty good day today but got up way too damn early at 5am…but that got e started on the normal stuff early and had that done by 7:15am which gave me time to read before i got started on the ham soup I made today…have been making this recipe, one that I figured out, over the years and have been doing it for at least 8 years now…it tasted so good I could even taste it and now I have 4 two quart containers in the freezer along with one 2qt in the fridge that I’ll have all week…once the soup was done and I cleaned up, it had gotten to 52 out there so I got on the bike and had a nice ride where I pushed it a lot on the way back and hope I’m not sore tomorrow…the rest of the afternoon was filled with reading with a race on in the background and that made for a nice day…tv time…
Lying is not an economic plan….
Well…twice the idiot in chief inherited healing economies, once from Obama, and once from Biden that his fragile ego just couldn’t deal with so he promptly started to dismantle all the good that was done since, in his delusional world, he was the smartest person in the room and knew better than the experts that the dems relied on to fix the damage he did in his first term…and now it appears that the idiot is relying on lies in place of sound economic policies and the results are plain to see…soaring inflation, layoffs, business failures, and farm bankruptcies up 58% since he lied his way into the presidency…and he keeps this crap up as he tries to fool the American people that 5 dollar a gallon gasoline is “not a problem” but I think America thinks differently…and with his stupid war in Iran, the bankruptcy and food crisis is going to overwhelm farmers since the cost of fertilizer has gone up 50% and that is one of largest expenses they face…how does 5 dollar a loaf bread sound? Or 15 dollar a pound beef? Here in Michigan, the price of ground beef hit it’s highest level in history last week at 10.99 a pound at Meijers…so how many people can afford that? Not many…I know I’ll never be able to afford beef again but, to listen to the idiot and his minions, that’s not a problem since billionaires can still afford it and that’s only people who they care about…lies are not economic policy and the world is being held hostage to a thin skinned asshole who is one step from total dementia…and we all pay…geez…
May 10th
Well…we’re coming into the 2nd week of May and it’s 36 degrees out there and that sucks…up just a bit before 5am this morning so it appears it’s the new normal rearing it’s ugly head again but I feel okay so I can live with it…for some reason, I am sore everywhere today and I think I’ll take something for it…haven’t taken an ibuprofen in a few weeks so I guess my liver can take it especially with 5 weeks of no cocktails…it’s going to be a busy one today with all of the normal stuff and making ham soup this morning…watching the moto3 race from LeMans and they are riding in the wet with bikes flying off the track everywhere…fun to watch…it looks like I’ll get an outdoor ride in this afternoon and that will continue my streak of 21 mile days but I’m still over 1K miles behind where I was last year at the same time with all of this cold weather…and it’s only going to be in the 40’s for a high Wed so I won’t be outdoors…oh, well…we may get a warm up later in the week after the 1 inch of rain for Tues and we really need it…has been dry almost to a drought here and I’m going to lose the lawn again if this keeps up..more later…
