Well…running late again this morning and the only reason is that I forgot to come here after doing the post over at Kos…and I got the workout in, too…it was an okay day yesterday and got a few things done but I am getting so, so tired of the damn snow…it is getting hard to even get around and tomorrow the high is going to be zero…still haven’t achieved hunker down mode so I will stop thinking of the weather…maybe this week….I do need to go out later this morning to meet up with a friend but after that, I will be hibernating the rest of the week….not much to do today…I am going to clean the kitchen since it is a mess from the last time I cooked and I just don’t like the way it looks…more later…
Another part two…
Well…it has been kind of a busy day today and I still haven’t figured out a political one to get caught up so I think I’ll just do an update or a part two again today…I did get over to close up C’s house today and the drive over was one of the most unnerving I’ve had in the Miata…the roads looked clear but with the cold, the salt wasn’t working and there was a glaze of ice and when I let off the gas, the back of the car wanted to come around from the compression in the engine…and I must have seen 30 cars in the ditch or in wrecks just over to Leonard street and back…and the trip back was out in the unplowed lane just to get some traction…and not over 50 mph all the way home….so it felt pretty good to get home and parked back here with no damage….other than that, it has been a normal Sunday and all I’ve done is laundry…and that looks like all I will do since the Wings are on and there are bobsled races on another channel….
Part two….
Well…there have been happenings in politics that have been making my job here a little easier but I didn’t get out to get the papers today with all the damn snow, so I don’t think this one is going to be about politics…I did get the car out of it’s parking spot this morning but I hate it when it snows on the weekend…the rest of the idiots here are too lazy to go out and move their cars so the guys can remove the snow so that makes only one spot that was plowed this morning that I can park my car in…and, as soon as I move it, someone will run out and move their car into it…geez…I can’t wait to find a job and buy a house…and, I will have to go out and let it run for a while later to make sure it will start in the morning…racing started today and I’m just not able to get into it…maybe I’m finally over it? Nope, no politics today unless something pops up on twitter later and I get motivated to come back…
January 25th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool….and now I wake up to a foot of snow on the car which isn’t helping my mood at all…can’t even get out to get the papers since they haven’t plowed the lot yet…didn’t do much other than pool yesterday and it was a cocktail night that is not helping my cold at all….don’t have any ambition for today, either, so it looks like a day of cooking, races, and vegging…just poured the first cup of coffee and that doesn’t even look good to me…probably should just go back to the couch and watch some soccer until this foul mood goes away….more later…
This is just stupid…
Well…have been reading this morning as I always do and came upon a little article that just focused on how stupid the states that are controlled by repubs have become…in Virginia, Texas, and other states, it is illegal to carry signs or flags on sticks into the state capital since they are “dangerous weapons” and can be used to injure people…but, in those same states, it is perfectly legal to carry handguns and rifles into these same capitals…in Virginia, while they were confiscating the signs that gun violence protesters were carrying, a group of gun rights protesters were waved through the same checkpoints carrying loaded assault rifles and pistols I guess since guns are never dangerous. In Texas, female visitors to the capitol had their tampons confiscated since they were also “dangerous weapons” while gun owners were allowed to carry their guns in strapped across their backs. What the hell is happening in this country? Have all the red states put stupid drugs in the water supply? I can’t think of any other explanation…geez…
January 24th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did have a bunch of stuff to do that I got done…so, the baby steps are working…slept okay last night but this low level infection I have is getting wearing and I am tired today….part of that could be that it has been so damn cold for so long…putting gas in the car this morning was an ordeal and I know it is wearing on the car, too…having to let it run every morning is not good for it and it looks like that will go on for another 10 days or so…will need to change the oil as soon as it warms up a little since I am seeing a drop in oil pressure…not much to do today…if it storms like they are predicting, I may have to stay home today since there are blizzard warnings up for today and into tomorrow…getting really, really tired of this winter….more later…
Are there topics?
Well…have been doing a few things around here but have, thankfully, not thought much about topics to write today..I do know that I have used this computer so much since I got it that I have worn the paint off the e, d and almost the c keys and there are times that I forget where they are and have to think about it..but, not now…just wanted to comment on the statements that ole Mike Huckabee made the other day, addressing some repub meeting or something…this idiot just can’t keep his mouth shut about women…something that the paternalistic idiots on the right all have a problem with…this nutjob came out and said that women vote democratic because government is the “sugar daddy” that provides them with free birth control…now, this is so wrong on so many levels that it is hard to chose which to comment on…I do want to say “WTF”…providing a medication that does so much for women’s health and gives them the opportunity to control their reproduction is now only to get their votes? What the hell else do we expect from these idiots on the right who think the only value women have is to be baby factories and anything that interferes with that is against the will of god? I have really, really had enough of hearing from any of these morons…geez…
January 23rd
Well…running late this morning since I had some errands to run and figured I’d get all of them done while the car was warm…and, it started kinda weird but I am going to try to not think about that today…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was progress, anyway. The Wings finally won one in a shootout in a game that I couldn’t see since it was on a stupid channel I don’t get…but, I just saw that they are re-running it on NHL network this aft so that will be something to look forward to….and Michigan and State are playing hockey tonight so that will give me something to do later….and, I feel pretty good today with having 4 days in a row of being good and am going to make it 5 tonight….I did go out for a couple with G last night and it almost got out of hand…especially since the inside of the car windows froze up and didn’t really thaw until I go back here..I am getting so frickin tired of the cold and it looks like we have two more weeks in a row of it…oh, well…not much to do today…I do have some stuff to get done around here after I work out but that is about it…more later…
One more about Snyder…
Well…just wanted to add another one on ole Snyder’s state of the state address from last week and the one glaring thing that was was not in it…specifics…particularly specifics on how his policies of tax cuts for the rich, attacking unions, and hurting women have created jobs here in Michigan. And you know how the repubs like to take credit for any good news even if they had nothing to do with it…like the auto recovery that was a combination of the companies, the unions, and the federal government and had nothing to do with any repub effort…don’t you think that if Snyder had any data to back up his boasts that his policies were working that he would have led with that in the address? He can’t because it doesn’t exist…we are next to last in unemployment rate and are projected to be 49th in job growth over the next three years and our performance mirrors that of other states where the discredited repub economic policies have been tried. So, this so called tough nerd needs to be sent back to the business world where he comes from…where ceo’s can not perform and still get millions of dollars while the workers pay the price…just like the people of Michigan have paid the price for the past 3 years….geez…
January 22nd
Well…it was kind of a lost day yesterday with getting no sleep the previous night…but, that didn’t translate into the afternoon nap that I was looking forward to…my sleep patterns have become so weird that I am just going to stop thinking about them…slept okay last night, though, so I feel pretty good today…this being good stuff is really starting to pay off and I think it is going to be the habit from now on…didn’t do a lot yesterday but I did get a few things done and I hope to continue today…actually started to eat more veggies yesterday and have found a salad dressing that makes salads palatable so that will help in eating more healthy…I didn’t say healthy because I still like to eat meat…not much to do today…I am going to clean some and then try to figure out what to cook for lunch….spent 23 of my last 75 dollars on food yesterday but that should get me through the weekend….not sure if I’m going to have enough money for cocktails this weekend but that is not a bad thing…more later…
