Well…it snowed enough and it’s cold enough so the snow won’t melt so I’m going to have to go out and shovel later…I did get a good start to the day today with getting the weight work and one ride in before the gold medal hockey game started…and we’re up 1-0 at the start of the 2nd…even got a good start on eating enough with a toasted bagel and cream cheese…but I’m not sure what I’m going to do today other than watch the game and the race later…I am going to try to make a pizza later for dinner…and go down and get the 2nd ride in….more later…
February 22nd
Well…I don’t know how I’m going to do it but I need to break this pattern of waking up at 4:30 and getting out of bed at 5am….it’s just not sustainable and I really do need more sleep…but I’ll dig deep and get things done…the men’s hockey final is on at 8am so I’ll need to get at least one ride in before that…didn’t eat anywhere near enough calories yesterday with just a bagel and two bowls of soup so I’ll have to fix that today…thinking of trying one of the 4 cheese self rising pizza that will add lots of calories…going to add pepperoni, green pepper, onions, and ham along with some extra cheese…should be about 700 calories for two slices so I’ll get close to the thousand calories I need for the day…not going to do much else today since the lack of calories has me in go slow mode today…edging toward March but it’s not going to warm up for 10 days or so…so I guess I’ll just hunker down and survive it…more later…
Two bike rides today…
Well…I did suck it up and get two rides in indoors today since it is cold out there and it snowed overnight…and I had everything done by 9am other than making the potato soup for lunch…I really do have to get going and look at the other two cities we’re visiting in Italy so my daughter can get them on the schedule…I finally finished the Robert Ludlum novel I started working on wed…his are packed so densely and long so it’s not an easy read…and I still have a pair of James Patterson’s that I have to do…but races are starting right now with the trucks and then the sportsman race a little later…and I may take the rest of the day off and just watch…I may just have a second bowl of soup for dinner so I don’t have to cook anything…
World class trolling…
Well…with the SC ruling that the idiot trump’s tariffs are illegal, Illinois governor Pritzker did a little bit of world class trolling of idiot boy and it made me laugh…the governor sent the idiot an invoice for the 8.6 billion dollars that they calculated Illinois residents paid in tariffs…and remember the tariffs were the largest tax increase on Americans in history and they weren’t paid by the countries where the tariffs were applied…so I wonder how idiot boy is going to pay back the 160 billion dollars collected so far? However it’s done, you can bet it will have the idiot trump’s name all over it…geez…
February 21st
Well…damn, up at 5:01 this morning and I’m going to pay for that later today…didn’t sleep much last night but I really don’t want to get back in the habit of taking something for it…I guess that just comes with getting old…almost all of the snow was gone until it started to snow again yesterday afternoon but I’m used to that after this long crappy winter….my skin has already started to heal after finishing off the peel cream yesterday and I just treated it again with the steroid to help that…it doesn’t hurt much now so I’ll take that, too…plan on making some potato soup today but I’m not sure if I’ll get to it…have lots of other stuff to eat but some of that is going to end up in the freezer even with eating 3 meals…and that is going to be the plan for today since I do feel better with doing that yesterday…not much to do today…have two races to watch from Atlanta and two bike rides to do so I need to get going right now…more later…
Three meals today…
Well…When I got up way too early this morning, I felt like crap and had no energy so I immediately knew it was from not eating enough…so today I had a bagel for breakfast, a salami sandwich for lunch, and the an egg sandwich with ketchup for dinner…that may have gotten me to 1K calories for the day and I know I feel a lot better right now…I finished off the treatment of the lesions today and started coating them with the steroid ointment but I’m going to wash it off before I go to bed so I don’t stain my pillowcases…it looks like they’ve started to heal some since they are not the blazing red they were…sure hope it’s going to fix it…I do have enough of the medicine cream left to do the whole treatment again if I have to…but I sure don’t want to…more hockey and reading..
Tariffs are illegal…
Well…in a decision that I didn’t see coming, the SC just voted 6-3 that the idiot trump’s tariffs are illegal since only congress has the power to levy taxes and tariffs…so now what happens? You know the idiot is just going to ignore the court like he does all the time when they rule against him…I want a refund of all of the tariff money I’ve paid in…so when is my check coming idiot? This ruling came just as the idiot’s tariffs have slowed the growth in the economy to just 1.4% on an annual basis and I wonder how the stock market will react? I guess it doesn’t matter to me since I don’t have stocks anymore…geez…
February 20th
Well…up a little after 5am today and I just didn’t see the point of trying to sleep more…so I’m going to be in slow mode today and just ease into the day…I do need to get the weight work and one ride in before I head out to pick up a prescription and then make a run to DD to pick up some 4 cheese self rising pizzas for 2 bucks each and then just look for other deals…and some honey ham for 3 bucks a pound which is not a screaming deal but still a good deal…it’s supposed to snow this aft but the radar isn’t showing it yet…but I can’t do anything about it so I’m not going to think about it…it is still winter in Michigan so getting snow is expected…and it’s been warm enough to melt most of the snow so it will be easy to get out and in with the car…it’s the last day of treating my skin with the peel and I am looking forward to starting the healing process tomorrow…or maybe even later today…more later…
Got a little done again today…
Well…it was a pretty nice day again today and I got a double ride in outdoors but that will be the last one until March at least…the roads were completely clear and it just felt good to be outside for the 4th day in a row…and I continues my 2 day streak of getting things done after cleaning the bathroom yesterday, I got the laundry done and a little more cleaning…so I really wasn’t a slug today and that felt good too….only one day left of burning the hell out of my face and scalp and then I can start using the steroid to get the lesions to heal…it’s supposed to rain and snow tomorrow but we are getting towards March and the temps are going to stay in the 30’s so all of the snow should be melted tomorrow…and that’s okay with me…I do need to go out in the morning to pick up the BP med prescription that I phoned my doctor for…but that will be after the weight work and one indoor ride…only did one meal today along with the bagel for breakfast and I’m going to keep that up until I run out of energy…back to reading…
Why can’t we do this?
Well…with the news that a previous South Korean PM was just jailed for life for fomenting an insurrection, the question comes to me “why can’t we do that?” The idiot trump did the same thing on January 6th and now he has his murder squads running around killing American citizens and our institutions have failed to hold him accountable…hell, England just arrested the former prince Andrew for his participation in the same crap that trump did with epstein…but the coverup continues here and idiot boy has 1,000 FBI agents cleaning up the epstein files to protect himself and still haven’t released over 3 million files…and yet, no accountability and that is just wrong…geez…
