Well…we are under another winter storm warning from now until 7am Tuesday and that is going to suck…8-15 inches of snow with high winds is going to get me out there to shovel at least 3-4 times and I know I’ll have to shovel the alley to get out for the dentist Tuesday aft…and they haven’t plowed the street up here since the last 20 inches of snow up here so it could be a challenge but all I really need to do is get to Park street and that is just a little more than 100 yards since it’s a main bus route and they plow it…still not sore from shoveling every day and I wonder when that is going to come? I still have 3 books left so I won’t have to hit the library until Thursday or so but I’ll probably go there after the grocery run Wed…spending too much time shoveling that I can’t use to read…one good thing happened today…when I heated a bowl of soup for dinner today, I could taste it a little…yay!

Helping putin destroy nato…
Well…it looks like the toddler in chief is helping putin destroy NATO since they are sending troops to reinforce those on Greenland and 8 countries have told idiot boy to keep his damn hands off…so, of course, the idiot put tariffs on 8 countries who have told him to stay out of Greenland since it appears that is the only damn thing he knows how to do…so let’s get to the point…we, the American people, pay for these stupid tariffs…not the countries who the tariffs are applied to and this is just going to hasten the world going it alone without the US on trade…and it will make more inflation and hurt everyone in the US…those 8 countries have said the right thing when they told the idiot that they will not bend to “blackmail” and are going to send more troops to protect Denmark as the NATO treaty requires…your move, idiot…geez…
January 18th
Well…damn, they just issued a winter storm warning that runs til Tuesday so I may not be able to make it out of here to get to my appointment Tuesday afternoon…I don’t think I’ve seen a winter like this in a long time…up at 5:15 today and that makes it two weeks of getting up that early…it is pretty depressing to have so damn much snow and cold temps…not going to get out of the teens for a couple of weeks and I am just worn out for this extreme weather…still need to get moving in a few minutes to get the day started but I sure don’t want to right now…I’m pretty sure the coffee is not going to work today and that is going to suck…so damn tired…not much to do today…might have to run an errand this morning to get some supplies to survive the weather but I don’t want to…more later…
It’s going to get worse…
Well…with Canada and China coming to a sweeping economic agreement, the idiot trump has conceded the Canadian market to the rest of the world…and every country that used to be our trading partner are doing the same…the EU is working on their own China deal as is the UK…so about the only thing the stupid tariffs have done is show that with the idiot in charge, you can’t depend on the US anymore…and that’s exactly what the PM of Canada said when announcing the agreement…that China is a “more stable” trading partner than the US…just wait until the rest of the world arranges to do without the US because of idiot boy…we won’t be able to export anything as he still rants that tariffs are just terrific…this is what you get when you elect an economic illiterate to run the economy…and this is going fall on the maga assholes who voted this moron into office…geez…
This screws up my schedule…
Well…the Manchester derby is on right now and that screws up my schedule for the whole day…and we just got going so I won’t be able to get on the bike until 9:30 or so…might make it a 1 ride day since I want to make soup this morning and after the heavy snow shoveling yesterday, I can afford to take an easy day…and I only had one meal yesterday so I’m good on calories…I guess I could do a 2nd ride after lunch but I don’t think I want to…okay, going to watch the match…more later…
January 17th
Well…I really think we have the BP thing figured out since it never got out of the teens yesterday and today it’s keeping that pattern with the first reading of 111/70…and I’ll take that all day long…up at 3:05 then out of bed at 5:30 and I am going to stop bitching about that since it gets my day started and I’ll finish by 9 am or so…I do need to clean today and I’m going to work on the living room today…going to make potato soup this morning to use the potatoes that are starting to sprout…didn’t eat much yesterday so I’ll have to try to do better today…it is going to be a brutal cold for the next two weeks with highs in the teens and lows in the single figures and I wonder what my gas bill is going to be…I haven’t looked at it since I signed up for autopay 4 years ago and I wonder it I should just ignore it…it snowed another 3 inches of snow overnight and we’re supposed to get 3 more today…not as sore as I expected this morning but we’re not into the 2 day pain window yet…not much to do today…just going to do the normal stuff and make soup and then the rest of the day belongs to me…more later…
The big problem with not tasting food…
Well…as you know, one of my worries with not being able to taste food is that I’ll eat something that is spoiled and won’t know it…and it happened yesterday with a gallon of milk…I poured myself a glass to have with lunch and when I got to the bottom of the glass there were chunks in it meaning it was spoiled and I didn’t taste a bit of it…so now I’m going to have to figure out what I can do to protect myself from that…it has already snowed about 6 inches out here and we have another 4-5 hours of snow coming so we may just get to a foot of snow for the day…ick…and it’s going to snow every day for the next two weeks so we’ll be buried…and I’ll be shoveling…a lot…more later…
January 16th
Well…up a little before 5 but I didn’t give up and stayed in bed til almost 5:30 but that doesn’t seem like a victory to me…sleep has been pretty illusive lately and I’m paying for it by being in a fog all the time…I’ve had these weird pains everywhere and I sure can’t figure out how I hurt myself…maybe sleeping but that’s a little strange to me…oh, well…the little bit of restoration of my sense of taste has ended and now I can’t taste anything again…and it is so bad that I drank sour milk yesterday and couldn’t tell until I saw the chunks in the bottom of the glass and that just sucks…going to have to get some cleaning done today since this place is just looking shabby and I can’t live with that…I do have 5 books to read and will start a new one today after I get the weight work and rides in…the coffee needs to work now…not much to do today…need to do laundry and I may make potato soup but that seems like a lot of work right now…more later…
Figured out the keyboard…
Well…damn it was cold today and barely got over 20 for the high but it didn’t snow but we have a winter weather advisory on and it is going to snow every day for the next week with about 15 inches in the forecast…you know I write on my laptop a lot…so much that I have worn the N off and now the D and B are starting to go…and it just hit me to check to see if I can get some stick on letter and I can get enough of them to do the keyboard twice for less than 6 bucks…so I’m going to order some tomorrow…I did get out for books today so I don’t have to go anywhere until Tuesday…so now it’s time to watch the Chili Bowl midget races…and read…
European troops to Greenland”’
Well…the idiot trump really thought he could invade and take Greenland with just a few troops but Europe is not going to allow that…both Europe and the UK have started to send troops there to protect it from the idiot trump…so idiot boy has made the US just like Russia by his bullshit blustering about Greenland and we are going to have a war unless the commanders of the armed forces say no to him when he gives the illegal orders…but the Army and the rest have been infiltrated by fascists so they will probably go along with it…and now the US ambassador to Iceland just told them they should get ready to be the 52nd US state…what the hell is up with these assholes? Why do they have this fixation on taking sovereign countries just like frickin Hitler did…and idiot boy announced yesterday that he is running Venezuela and is their temporary president….god, we are going to have a huge cleanup to do after these assholes are gone…geez…
