Well…it’s been a kind of easy day today with only doing one ride since I just didn’t feel like doing two…am still healing up from the abuse I did to my body shoveling and pushing cars out of the alley…but my incision is healing up quite well after two days of scar cream application…can barely see it and I was able to run a razor over it…it may get to the point where I can’t even see it…but the stuff I’m applying to my keratosis is turning them bright red and I can feel where it is…not really pain but just itching…that I have to keep up for two weeks, twice a day…going to make bean and meat burritos for dinner with finding a package of burger in the freezer and having ench sauce in the cupboard…and I even have lettuce and tomatoes, too along with Ortega taco sauce so it could end up yummy…I got too many repeaters at the library so I’ll have to go there on Wed after the grocery run…need to wash the car Tues to get the sludge off it…have enough quarters to do it in my change bucket…okay, to time to read and watch more Olympics…
Foreign agents in contact with trump orbit..
Well…I guess now we have foreign agents being caught on a phone call with someone with direct access to the idiot trump…and of course they broke the law again when the DNI took it upon herself to block a report on the call from everyone who is supposed to get it and only shared it with the idiot trump’s chief of staff…you can guess just how bad that call was and what was said to trumpworld…like maybe someone is trying to influence trump and bragged about it on the call? This call was from foreign spies for cripesake and it was intercepted by the NSA who had a reason to be listening to the spies calls…so now another incidence of trump and his cronies getting play by foreign spies and then covering up the embarrassing content of the call…this will probably be another charge in idiot boy’s next impeachment that will start in January ’27…geez..
February 8th
Well…up at 3:41 and then out of bed at 5:07 and that is a little disappointing but maybe I’m getting used to it…sure don’t want to, though…slept okay and I feel okay this morning but one of these days I’m not going to force myself to get going…but not today…have to be on the weights in 15 minutes or so and then on the bike but I wonder if I can only do one ride today? Didn’t get a lot done yesterday but the rides and laundry but I didn’t have to shovel snow so that’s a good thing…and it’s not going to snow today and we are heading toward a little warm spell with temps in the 30’s and I’ll take that…only 3 weeks til March and I can’t wait until this damn winter is over…the incision scar is healing nicely and you can barely see it after using the scar cream…the rest of the lesions haven’t started to hurt yet but it’s only been one day of application and they haven’t started to peel yet…not much to do today…just the Olympics and the normal stuff but I need to get moving right now…more later…
Looking for a topic..
Well…just finished the second ride and then walked out to see if they plowed the alley…surprise…they didn’t…and now I’m looking for a political topic for the day…one bit of good news is that people hate trump and what he’s doing to the country that the dems are now forecast to take the Senate along with the House in the election this fall…that is if we have an election…there are hundreds of trump toadies working full time to figure out how to cancel the election even though voting is the purview of the states…there is no place in the Constitution that gives any role in voting to the feds but idiot boy is trying to ignore the Constitution as his SC has allowed him to do…I’ll be in the streets protesting if he tries that crap as will tens of millions loyal Americans…geez…
A good start…
Well…it’s been a good start to my day with getting the weight work in and the first ride done and I’m now finishing up the coffee and watching the Man U match where they are ahead 1-0 with Spurs playing a man down…so it looks like a good day today with Olympics on all day and a new Patricia Cornwell novel to read…just need to go back down for the 2nd ride after the match and I should be done for the day by 10 or so…no snow overnight so I won’t have to shovel and the weather is going to break into the 30’s next week so I can go and wash the car Tuesday…didn’t have enough coffee for today but I’m not going to make more at 8:30am…I guess I could make some pour over to get a couple more cups…okay, I did make more coffee so I’ll have a couple of cups to get through the match…okay…going to stop here and watch the match…
February 7th
Well…damn, didn’t get out of bed til almost 5:30 this morning and that feels like sleeping in after being up from 3 to 4 this week…and I need to get hauling ass to get the weight work in and a bike ride done before Man U plays at 7:30…pretty damn sore after digging cars out yesterday but it didn’t snow overnight so I won’t have to shovel today…pouring black coffee down to get jump started and only have 8 minutes to get on the weights…after getting the stitches out yesterday, I can barely see the incision scar and all of the swelling is gone and I wonder if it’s the scar ream my brother gave me? Have started to put the medicine on the rest of the lesions on my face and scalp and they haven’t started to hurt yet but that will probably come after I peel some skin off from it…hope it doesn’t hurt…my thumb and left elbow are howling this morning and I think I’ll be taking some ibuprofen later…need to get going…more later…
Just a short one…
Well…just read an article on Wonkette through Mastodon that made me just shake my head just from one line in the article…”we now live in a country where 5 year olds are arrested and pedophiles go free”…now that pretty much describes where we are right now in this country…where felons are allowed to roam free to continue to break the law with the protection of the corrupt supreme court…and where ICE thugs are allowed to murder people…you know it’s been weeks since Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered…we know who the murderers are and we know they have not been arrested yet…why? Get on that Minnesota and indict these assholes right now and then send the state police to arrest them, no bail and let them rot in jail for a couple of years…and these charges would be idiot boy pardon proof since they are state charges…do it now…geez…
What a morning…
Well…darn, what a morning…when I was getting ready to leave to get my stitches out, one of my neighbors buried his car in the alley blocking my garage so I had to shovel him out and push his car back out of the alley…then over to get the stitches out and the doctor said I’m healing nicely and can start using the scar gel my brother gave me…then I did get the car back into the garage and started to do my sidewalks when another neighbor buried her car in the alley so I shoveled and pushed her out then shoveled the alley from my garage to the street so I can get out if I need to…and she can get back in…so, I am beat and I’m going to take the rest of the day off and watch some Olympics…
February 6th
Well…damn, had an alarm set on my phone but I probably shouldn’t worry about not getting up when I woke up at 4:14 and out of bed before 5am…we’ve been under a winter weather advisory for the past couple of days and I am so damn tired of always having some kind of alert on…need to pour coffee down and get on the weight work so I can get a ride in before I head out to get the stitches out of my face…it’s been a week of too much to do and I look forward to getting back here and taking it easy the rest of the day…lake effect snow is setting up and I am just frickin tired of it…but I’m not shoveling the alley so I’ll let the snowies do their thing to get me out of here and back in the garage…..I was so damn sore yesterday from moving stuff that I almost took something for it…but I didn’t but will have to today after I start treating my face to get rid of the pre-cancerous lesions that are all over it…supposed to hurt like crazy when I apply the lotion and it’s just another thing I need to do to to maintain this old body…more later…
Poor farmers…
Well…poor farmers, the people almost to a person voted for the idiot trump and saddled this country with him are still whining that idiot boy’s idiotic economic policies are bankrupting farmers across this country…and they have no one but themselves to blame…farm bankruptcies have doubled since idiot boy started his trade war, barely half of farms are profitable, and we are running the largest agricultural trade deficit in history…gee, I guess cutting off trade with China wasn’t a good idea…who knew? It’s all trump’s doing to turn our agricultural exports from the records they were two years ago to a certain depression today…and congressional repubs have hurt farmers by cutting Medicaid and refusing to extend the ACA subsidies, tripling their healthcare costs and making insurance unaffordable for many farm families…this is what you get when you vote your stupidity and hate…and I do not feel bad at all that farmers FA’d and now they are finding out…geez…
