Well…got a call from my doctor’s office today and what they removed from my forehead was NOT a melanoma…how it got from melanoma on mychart to the good news of no cancer I don’t know…and the kicker was no more treatment needed…so that was a nice surprise and makes me feel better about my health that I haven’t had two kinds of cancer in two years…yay! It was kind of a busy day with getting out on the bike for two rides before I could break the fast I was on for the blood draw…my legs gave up on the 2nd ride and I know it was from no food for 14 hours and I’ve been struggling to make up for that the rest of the day…had another good phlebotomist at the lab and she hit it with one poke, no bruising, so no big deal..okay, a little bruise bit it’s the size of a rice grain and I’ll take that anytime…when I got back from the lab, I vacuumed and washed the car and I used the car wash I bought and the new mitt…used way too much soap and I’ll fix that next time…and then I went out to the beach for a swim, getting back here about 12:45 then I did the laundry and cooked the ingredients for another batch of potato salad…after that, all I did was read and I’m going back to that right now..

The numbers are clear…
Well…there are starting to be lots of numbers coming out about the new theft of the country by the rich bill and one of them is too damn clear and exactly shows that the rich are getting all the cash and the rest of us are paying for it…the bill includes a 1.1 trillion dollar tax cut for the rich,,,and guess what the cuts to benefit programs added up to? Yep, you guessed it, 1.1 trillion dollars and that is 300 billion out of SNAP and 800 billion out of Medicaid and the ACA…and that is going to throw 20 million Americans off their health insurance…I guess the repubs think sacrificing 20 million Americans is just peachy if they give them the money and then the rich give it back to them so they will pass more tax cuts for them…this is just the sickest bullshit I’ve ever seen in this country…and we really do need to make them pay for it…come on dems…get off your asses and scream this from the rooftops…trillions for the rich, trillions less for everyone else…geez…
July 1st
Well…another month starts and more health bullshit with needing to go out and have blood drawn after the rides this morning…I think they are looking for vitamin deficiencies and it’s possible I have some with how I eat…last ate at 5pm yesterday so I’ll hit the 12 hours of fasting needed for these tests…feel a lot better than I did yesterday and the black and blue left big toe doesn’t really hurt anymore…still can’t figure out what I stubbed it on and I can’t remember a worse one since I moved out here…have a lot to get done today with going straight into cleaning the car to get the sand out of the interior and then washing it since it is really dusty out here when it never rains…and it’s not supposed to rain til Sunday…I am not looking forward to the 4th of July and and the war zone that this place turns into…and I still can’t figure out how people in these run down houses can afford the thousands of dollars they spend on fireworks every year…think I’ll be heading to the library tomorrow since I’m on the last book that I should have finished today…going to try to get to the beach after I clean the car up but I do need to load up on food for lunch so avoid feeling like I did yesterday…and it will be 17 hours of not eating anything…have a half hour before I get on the bike at 6:30 so I think I’ll pour another cup of coffee and get a post out on Mastodon…more later…
