Well….I am just shaking my head right now with a speech that ole Mitt did the other day preparing for another run at the White House where he went on and on that income inequality has increased under Obama and he is concerned about it…what real chutzpah….he wasn’t too concerned when he was stealing millions and putting tens of thousands out of work while working at Bain capital…but, in an act of the cheapest political crap, he has flip flopped on this issue just because he saw that it worked for Obama…not from any new found concern for the middle class…he still thinks that 47% of them are just leeches who won’t work. I can’t wait for the news shows…well..”the Daily Show” anyway to get hold of this one….how much shallower can he show himself to be?
January 19th
Well…it was an okay but sluggish day yesterday and I didn’t get anything done but that’s how it goes sometimes…the bug in my lungs is starting to break up, I think, and that is a good thing…am coughing like crazy today, though, and that is tiring to say the least…may have to take something for the tooth pain this morning but it’s not as bad as it has been so that’s a good thing….slept okay last night but have been up since way too early and that is tiring, too….might have to take it easy today to finish the healing process for the lungs…I know I wasn’t good last night but I shouldn’t feel as crappy as I do so it must be the bug….not much to do today…going to just take it easy and hang out as I get better…and come back for one more of these to stay on track…more later….
Some more stuff…
Well…have been just vegging it all day and got a surprise with Seattle looking ordinary in their playoff game…actually a pretty crappy game….other than that it has been okay today…and yesterday I did get my January top down run in so that was cool….have been looking for something to write about all day today and haven’t come up with anything…it was nice to have T get back into town yesterday after her vacation….I don’t see her much but two weeks without talking to her was just different….still feel a little under the weather with the lungs still involved but they are better than they were yesterday so that is something….and I haven’t had much pain in the teeth today so another plus that I can really appreciate…and, there is still football on so I guess I’ll go back and watch that…
January 18th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get a lot done….I did get out to have a couple with K and put the top down to go out so I do have my January top down run in….and, I did get the car washed and some stuff done around here so it was not a total waste of a day…didn’t get the pain free day I’d hoped for in and it looks like I won’t today either….the tooth has started to hurt already and I hope the ibuprofen works soon….feel a little crappy today and it is from this new bug I have that is not treating my lungs well….taking most of my energy, too, so I guess I’ll take it easy today….don’t have much to do anyway since there are leftovers to eat and I don’t even have to cook….more later….
January 17th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…had a pretty good run so I guess I’m not disappointed…slept okay and woke up with no tooth pain so that was a pleasant surprise….and it still doesn’t hurt right now so maybe I’ll get a day pain free….but, my lungs are still giving me a fit and I think it may be another bug since my head is stuffed up, too….it is nice that it’s not cold today so it was almost pleasant going out for the groceries this morning and I may even get the top down on the car to get my January run in…need to wash it, too so I may get to that this morning….or maybe not….Man U is playing at 10 and it is pushing 9 right now…and, I don’t have any motivation to get moving yet…not much to do today….I do have a few things to do around here but I’m not going to work too hard…more later….
January 16th
Well….running really late today and it is because I woke up feeling like crap again and I’m not sure why…have been coughing like crazy all morning and have no energy but I think I’ll feel better later in the day…going to take it easy all morning to see where I end up…slept pretty crappy again last night and that may be part of why I feel as I do….and my tooth hurts again and after a day where I had no pain it is a disappointment….didn’t get a lot accomplished yesterday but an errand that I had to run in the aft and today looks like more of the same….not much to do today….pool, but that is about it….should clean but will probably leave that until tomorrow with how I feel today….more later…
Another repub controlled state has a budget crisis…
Well…just had to write this one early so I won’t forget to do it today…just finished up reading the Detroit papers today and guess what the headline was….that our wonderful Michigan…home of tax cuts for the rich and business pushed by the repubs here is running the biggest deficit in its history, with the projections being that this years budget will see close to a 600 million dollar shortfall driven mostly by tax credits for business that the governor and legislators are “surprised” that they are taking. But, they are the only ones that are surprised…what the hell did they think was going to happen? That corporations would not take these giveaways out of the goodness of their hearts? Michigan now follows Kansas and Wisconsin into the black hole of tax cuts that do nothing to spur the economy or create jobs…especially when business is sitting on more cash than ever in the history of the world. The only time that tax cuts may work is when the cuts will free up money that business will spend on hiring or new equipment…tax cuts with so much retained cash just go to stock buybacks or increased CEO pay…nothing else. So, who pays for this boondoggle? If Michigan follows the pattern of every repub controlled state, there will be cuts to education and every other program that benefits anyone but business…and the state will be a worse place to live…just like every state under repub control…but they don’t care if business is happy…geez….
January 15th
Well….you already know what kind of a day it was yesterday so I won’t bore you with any extra description of the events…slept okay last night and did get the tooth fixed just before bed so there was no pain sleeping…and it still doesn’t hurt this morning so I hope I have it fixed for a week or so…no dreams, again, and that makes sleep really boring but I feel okay this morning..and, with it being 16 degrees, I think the car should start…hope I didn’t damage the battery with running it dead yesterday since it is a weird AGM type that has fiberglass mats inside…not sure how they react to being dead and cold…we’ll see in a few minutes….not much to do today…I do have an errand to run this aft but that is about it…and that should help charge the battery back up…probably should start looking for a new battery but I don’t want to….more later….
What a day….
Well…the day started out as I expected with it being a record 13 below…the car wouldn’t start and I had to have Brian come and give me a jump…it started right up with the cables on it and I may have to try to find a higher capacity battery that will fit in the trunk that has the vent tubes on it…need to vent the hydrogen out of the trunk so it doesn’t blow up…tried to push it down the hill to start it but it was too damn cold to get up the speed I needed…and, after the battery was dead, I had to go back in and reset all of the equalizer settings on the radio which is a giant pain since I can’t find the owner’s manual….lost all the station presets, too….so that will take a while to rebuild…and, during all that, my teeth were howling in pain all day and I can’t figure that out at all…especially when they haven’t hurt for almost a week…just went out to work on the car and it started right up but I think I’ll take it out for a drive and get the battery all charged up for tomorrow morning…at least it’s going to be in the teens for the next week so it should start…
January 14th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much…slept okay last night and feel pretty good today…I do have a little anxiety on whether the car will start or not….it is 11 below right now and that is almost the record low for the time I’ve owned the car…it was 12 below last year and it started so I have my fingers crossed that it will start today…it started at 6 below yesterday but it really struggled…I’ve been good for days now and that may be while I feel okay today but the tooth isn’t hurting this morning so that may be part of it….this looks like another normal day today…going to clean the kitchen today but don’t have to cook since it will be a leftover day today….need to get more of the stuff out of the freezer, though, so I need to thaw some stuff for tomorrow…not much to do today…more resumes….yay….and then clean, clean, clean….sounds like fun, huh?
