Well…up and out of bed before 6 again today and I am still longing for a day of sleeping in that I really don’t think I’ll ever see again…it’s 40 degrees out there right now so the alley will be 8 inches of slush and I’m hoping the new tires can deal with that…or I’ll bury the car and be shoveling for a couple of hours…don’t have a lot to get on the grocery run today and I need to make room in the freezer for the ham bone I’m still eating from…that will go in by Friday and I am going to make some pasta to get away from ham,ham, ham all the time…I do have eggs to make omelets but they don’t really appeal to me right now….it is so nice to have my internet fixed so I can watch tv again…just to have it running in the background to keep my tinnitus at bay really helps me stay sane..not much to do today…weight work, bike, and the grocery run will fill up my morning but I may only do one ride today…I guess we’ll see….more later…

Looks like trump is going to kill the repub party…
Well…I think the damn has finally broken against the idiot trump as 29 repubs in the house see the writing on the wall and have resigned or are planning to not run for their seats…with trump acting like the demented fool he is, these folks and more like them are bailing out before the steamroller crushes them in the mid terms next year…even repubs are now blaming trump for his mishandling of the economy and for doing nothing to help keep the ACA subsidies that kept healthcare affordable and that are expiring on Jan 1st and will mean doubling of cost for most people…and remember we only need to change the minds of 1 million of the 24 million people who get their insurance from the ACA to make the blue wave a tidal wave…geez…
Internet works again…
Well…the xfinity techs just left about a half hour ago and I have been streaming since then with no freeze ups, pixelation, or any other problems so that is cool…very nice tech that I talked to and he kept me up to speed on what he was doing and what was done…they replaced the cable from the house to the pole and then replaced the junction box since there was a problem with that, too…since it was all outside it didn’t cost me a cent and I have my fingers crossed the problems are all fixed…more later…
December 16th
Well..damn, up at 5:14 this morning an that followed waking up at 4am and I am so damn tired of getting up that early every day…everything still hurts and it’s going to be a struggle to get moving…had to skip curling the weights since my left arm hurt so badly but it might be a little better today…I’ll find out in a few minutes when after I have coffee and get this done…need to get the weight work and at least one ride before the comcast tech comes…I am so damn tired of my internet being so bad I can’t stream anything…so I’ll probably have to switch to frontier fiber and that is going to be a pain in the ass…oh, well…don’t have a lot to do today but the tech and I really can’t wait til he’s done…want my normal life back….more later…
Got some things done…
Well…it’s been a pretty normal day so far today and I did get a few things done…didn’t snow much overnight but the came through and plowed the streets again so I had a foot and a half of snow in the mouth of the alley I had to clear and then I did the front sidewalk just for the heck of it…got the cleaning in the living room almost done to get ready for the tech coming tomorrow…and ate a way too big lunch so I may leave that as the only meal today….going to warm up and get ugly tomorrow through Thursday and then back into the deep freeze…going to need to do the grocery run Wed since the 8 inches of ice in the alley are going to turn into 8 inches of slush and I don’t think even the new tires can cope with that…but I guess we’ll see…
Trump continues to lose..
Well…the biggest loser in this country continues to lose even more every day and he gets weaker every day…three times in the past weeks he tried to get a grand jury to indict Leticia James and three times the juries rejected the justice department…then trump and his cronies tried to get Indiana to redraw congressional maps to tilt them toward repubs but they refused to do it…and his tacky ballroom has been stopped by a lawsuit since he didn’t follow the rules for historic buildings…as you can see, even repubs are looking at his approval rating that has plummeted to just 36% and I think they are seeing the lamest of lame ducks squatting in the WH and seeing that they really can refuse doing his bidding with no consequences…I think maga is dying and they are going to take idiot boy down with them…good riddance…geez…
December 15th
Well…I don’t remember being this sore in quite a while as the two day rule kicks in…just had to take an ibuprofen since I can barely move…everything hurts so I’m going to have to take a day off but I still need to shovel the 4 inches of snow we got last night…and that makes almost 20 inches in the past 3 days and I am getting tired of it…it’s pretty damn depressing to have this crap piling up every day…I do need to clean this place up with the comcast tech coming tomorrow to figure out why my internet is screwed up…up at 4am today but stayed in bed til 5:40 but that is still too damn early to be up every day…don’t have a lot to do today but clean and I’m going to ease into it…just need to rest and have some coffee before my old body will get moving…more later….
Damn I’m sore…
Well…after the move yesterday and then shoveling the 8 inches of snow that fell yesterday and overnight, I am so damn sore that I can barely get up off the couch…and I think I tore something in my left bicep since I can barely move it and it hurts like fire whenever I move it…and my right hip is sore and stiff and I can barely walk…so there will be more ibuprofen later…and then I’ll be back out shoveling again since we are getting another 4-6 inches today…okay, so now my right bicep hurts, too…crap, it’s going to take me a week to heal up from this…too damn old for this but I know we are committed to moving large appliances in a couple of weeks…darn…
They are getting rid of vaccines completely…
Well…with the latest moves that RFK is making, his end game of getting rid of all vaccines has become clear…they now are going to put “black box” warning on every vaccine…even one like for measles, mumps, and rubella…vaccines that have been shown to safer than aspirin over the 70+ years and billions of doses…the black box warning is used to make sure people know that there is serious danger in taking the medicine or vaccine and it is so risky that people should choose to not take it…things like opiods, or warfarin that can cause real danger to those taking them…it’s just another part of the anti vaccine crowd that is now running the FDA and using ideology instead of science to set public health policy…and people are already dying from it…geez…
December 14th
Well…up and moving at 5:14 this morning and that really shows that no matter how much work I do, I won’t sleep much…I should have poured myself into bed early and then slept in but that was not ever going to happen…I’m sore everywhere so today will be a take it easy day after I get the weight work in, the rides, and then shoveling the snow that piled up yesterday…my internet is screwed up and comcast is coming Tuesday to take a look at it…it freezes up constantly and that sucks…it’s only 10 degrees out there right now and it is supposed to warm up this week and were forecast to get an inch of rain Thursday with the warm up…not much to do today…have to start cleaning this place up but I really need a day off so I may wait til Monday for that…it sucks that I can’t watch soccer with the internet really bad so I’ll just read I guess…more later…
