Part of my gutter is gone…

Well…heard a hell of a noise a little while ago and went out to investigate…a 300 pound block of ice took down a 12 foot section of my gutter along with the drip flashing…so, I straightened out the flashing as best I could and nailed that back up and it will have to do until spring when I’ll get new pieces to put back up…not sure if I’ll replace the gutter…too small of a job to get anyone to come out and replace it…oh, well…

Down to 31%…

Well…I wonder how low the idiot’s approval rating can go? A new poll out yesterday shows that only 31% of independents approve of the job idiot boy is doing and I wonder why it’s so high…I mean any thinking person with any trace of moral fiber has to be repulsed by the idiot…especially with the revelation over the weekend that trump raped a 14 year old girl…and this was in sworn testimony at Maxwell’s trial…so why the hell has he not been charged with this felony? When we take back the house this fall, this should be at the top of the list of impeachment charges that get filed and any repub that tries to protect this rapist should be thrown out of the House…even with this revelation, more than 70% of evangelicals christians still support idiot boy…and that just shows you the rot that has taken over christianity in this country…geez..

February 16th

Well…I guess it doesn’t matter when I get out of bed since I always feel like I’ve never slept at all…that said, I was out of bed a little before 6 today but woke up around 4am and just laid there trying to get back to sleep…it’s already over 30 out there so I will be doing the 2nd ride outdoors today and I’m looking forward to that…my skin has started to peel from the chemical I’ve been putting on it and I only have 5 more days until I can start to heal the ugly red blotches with cortisone…it looks like I’ll have leftover cream to use if I have any more keratosis that shows up as I get exposed to the sun…put spray on sunscreen when I rode outdoors the other day and that hurt like I put acid on my face so I’ll have to look for some lotion sunscreen when I go out today…didn’t get anything done yesterday and probably won’t again since I am so late getting going today…more later…

Down to 36%

Well…the ketchup must be hitting the WH walls today after the release of a new poll yesterday that put’s idiot boy’s approval rating at the lowest in history at 36%…that’s darn close to only a third of the country approves of the job the idiot is doing…and he is underwater on every issue that got him elected…those stupid trump voters believed every lie he told them even though the entire world knows that idiot boy probably never told the truth or kept a promise in his life…so what does the idiot do about it? He gets the Gallup organization to stop doing approval polling…and they have been doing it for 80 years…just another organization that didn’t have the guts to stand up to him…but he is too stupid to understand that Gallup is not the only poll out there so he can’t hide how unpopular he is…and at 36%, he has started losing even the maga assholes…I can’t wait for November…geez…

February 15th

Well…up a little after 5 again today and I really do need to figure out why I can’t sleep anymore…I did eat more yesterday but I can’t feel the effects of that yet and I wonder if I will at all…I was going to take an easy day yesterday with one ride indoors but I did take advantage of the nice weather to get a 10 mile ride in outdoors and I am going to try to do that again today…but the forecast says it’s only getting to 40 today so I guess we’ll see…I do need to clean the bathroom today but that is going to wait til later…the lesions on my face hurt like crazy when I put sunscreen on to go out or the outdoor ride so I won’t be able to use the 100 spray on until they heal up some…only 6 more days and I can start using the cortisone cream to get some relief…my skin looks really bad and red and I hope all of the lesions will be gone after I’m done…not much to do today…just need to pour coffee down and get it to work right now…damn it’s almost 6 and Ineed to get going…more later…

Got an outdoor ride in…

Well…I was reading a little news and noticed the temp outdoors was 48 degrees and you know that means I’m going to try to get an outdoor ride in…so I suited up, aired up the tires and went out…went down the hill to the park to see how much ice is on Muskegon Lake and the whole thing is frozen over and thick enough that there were ice fishers and people riding quads on the ice…but the end of the trail where I start out is still under 2 feet of snow and it looks like it will be mid to late April before I get out on them…but, if it’s this warm tomorrow, I’ll be back out there to get another 10 miles in…streets are okay but still have lots of ice on them…going to be sore tomorrow…

No more ICE funding…

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…

What you never want to be….
