Well…addressing some of his repub donors last night, idiot boy bragged that countries are calling him up and “kissing his ass” to get him to remove the tarriffs he put on the world…yeah, that’s a thug talking and I guess no one told China as they just slapped 84% tariffs on all imports from the US…and maybe they missed the EU, too as they have identical tariffs on the US as idiot boy did to them…and I guess no one in Canada is taking trump’s calls as he tried to get talks going with the new PM and his response was that there was “no point” in talking to idiot boy…and we know the real reason for all the tariffs…they don’t make economic sense so why? As I see it they are just an insecure bully trying to be important since the entire world is starting to ignore him and he can’t take it…what other reason does he have to lie about countries “kissing his ass” than that? I really do hope the ignoring continues until he can’t take it anymore…geez…
April 9th
Well…damn, still have pain in my mouth from the dental work that was done a week ago and it is taking a lot out of me…feel so damn worn out that all I want to do is melt into the couch…but I’ll get on the bike here here in 25 minutes to get the day started…and I have to hit Menards along with three grocery stores and I’m not sure I’m up to it…hope the bike does it’s magic and gets me out of this funk…20 minutes to go….pouring coffee down and I’m not sure if it’s going to be enough today…didn’t get anything done yesterday but bake bread but today is going to be a busy one with needing to make a big ham, mashed potatoes, and gravy…I’m going to be exhausted by noon today…hell, I’m already exhausted and I think I’ll have to shift into go slow mode to survive it….going to get my flower and veggie seeds today at 10 cents a pack at Menards and will probably start to plant them as it warms up outside in a few days…want to get some perennials so I don’t have to plant every year but I’ll take annuals if I can’t get them….not much to do today…yeah, that’s not true…have way too much to do today and I’m not sure how I’m going to do it…just suck it up I guess….more later…
A good target for doge..
Well…with elon and his unqualified minions running around cutting “waste” from the federal government, I have a target for his doge cronies…as you’ve probably read, there are plans to have a military parade for the anniversary of of the founding of the army…but to hear idiot boy’s aides, their purpose for the parade is idiot boy’s birthday sine the army was not planning anything other than small celebrations on army bases around the country…but lying as they always do, idiot boy’s minions said the idea is really the army’s and they really didn’t realize that it coincided with the idiot’s birthday…and here’s the kicker…amid all the talk about cost cutting, this Russian style military parade is going to cost at least 100 million dollars…how many people could be housed and fed for 100 million dollars? A whole damn lot of them but we know they don’t care about containing costs…just the costs of things the repubs don’t like…when they kneel to their god emperor and it costs 100 million, that is what they think he deserves…god, I hate these people…geez…
Don’t feel like politics today…
Well…have the two rides in and the sourdough in the oven finishing and I think that’s going to be all I do today other than read…oh, I do have to do the grocery list but that should take about 5 minutes so that’s not too much of a job…should clean the bathroom and kitchen some and I probably will after I make lunch and the oven cools down…still having to take ibuprofen for the pain but I think it’s slowly getting better…the bread looks really good and I have it figured out, a skill I never had before and that’s pretty cool…I do still have the weight work to do later but reading is going to come first…okay, the bread has 3 minutes left until it’s done so I need to give it some attention….more later…
April 8th
Well…damn, my jaw still hurts like crazy and it’s been a week since I had the dental work done and I need to figure out how to stop grinding my teeth to stop it…don’t feel as lousy as I did yesterday but I still feel pretty crappy but I’ve only been out of bed for a half hour and haven’t had any coffee yet so that could be why…it looks like a repeat day today with temps still in the 30’s so I’ll do two indoor rides and bake bread this afternoon…even had to make some pour over coffee since this is a coffee leftover day and I barely had two cups to have and that is not nearly enough…need to put the grocery list together but I really don’t have a lot of stuff to get other than the BAH that will feed me for a good week…I think I’ve got enough gas to heat it on the grill but I’ll have to get a refill next week…starting to be able to chew more normally as the pain subsides from the sockets and I really hope the new normal allows me to eat better…damn, it’s already 7am and I need to get going but I wonder why? I could wait til 8 to get on the bike and I’d still be done by 10 so I think I’ll have at least one more cup of coffee and sit here for at least a half hour….more later…
An easier day…
Well…took an easier day today with just doing two indoor rides since it never got out of the 30’s here and I just didn’t want to be that cold…especially in April…I did use some of the sourdough starter that I fed yesterday to make the dough for a loaf I’ll bake tomorrow but I’m not sure if I can even eat it yet…I guess we’ll see…going to have another cold one tomorrow so I’ll be inside for one more day then I have to start working on the yard and ride outdoors….felt really crappy when I got up today but two hard rides fixed that along with non stop eating all day since I was way under on calories for 5 days in a row and that is not good for me…okay…I have a weird science fiction movie called “Mickey 17” that I want to watch…
Missed it by a bit…
Well…okay, I’m the first person to admit he’s wrong…I missed the stock market prediction from earlier today…in the first minute of trading the market was down by almost 1,400 points but it rallied and now it’s only down by 1,000 points…and yes that is sarcasm…and thousand point drop still means the market is down almost 5,000 points in the past three days and the tariffs have just started to kick in…one thing I forgot about was how much damage was done to farmers the last time idiot boy started throwing tariffs around…I mean having to bail out farmers to the tune of 30 billion dollars and with the new 25% tariffs that China has just levied, there will be no market for any grain or bean that is grown here…oh, and do you know about potash? It’s a component in fertilizer that we get 90% of from Canada…and it’s now 25% more expensive and that will break a lot of farmers here…you know…the idiots who voted for the idiot in chief…wreckage everywhere…geez…
A 3,000 point drop?
Well…just a shorty on the crash in the Asian markets overnight…they are all down from 11 to 20% and this is something that has never happened before…so I think we may be looking at a 3,000 point drop in our stock markets today and that would make for over 5,000 points down in the past 3 days…and it is all down to one idiot who knows nothing about economics and has bankrupted everything he has ever touched…so when does the business revolt start…he has cost his billionaire buddies trillions of dollars and it could get to 20 trillion in lost wealth by the end of the day today…but the sick thing is they still have enough money to buy on the dip and make even more money when stocks start to climb again…but that won’t help the 401K investors who are going to lose it all…hey maga assholes, you voted for this and again, I hope you lose everything and end up starving on the streets…you deserve it…geez…
April 7th
Well…I don’t think I’ve ever felt this crappy in the morning…my jaw hurts and I’ve already taken something for it and this is getting really, really old….I’ve already eaten something to see if not eating enough is part of it as I think it is….going to try to eat constantly today as my jaw will allow…and I may have to order some flonase since my allergies are terrible and have been for a week…will need to work on the yard later in the week but I’m not going out there when it’s in the 30’s…I do need more coffee if I’m ever going to get moving today…and that’s not going to be until 8am or so and I’m not doing more than 2 rides today…damn, I hate being this whiny but I really do feel like crap…going to buy another big assed ham this week since Meijers has them on sale for 89 cents a pound but I’ve completely lost my sense of taste so it will be just eating for fuel and that sucks…I think I need a reset for my body but I don’t know how to do that…everything seems out of whack and all I want to do is melt into the couch and stare at the tv for the whole day…but I won’t since I know that getting on the bike will make me feel better….more later….
My teeth hurt…
Well…darn, me teeth hurt today and I’m pretty sure it’s from grinding them all day and eating and that just sucks…oh, well…I did get an outdoor ride in today but took it much easier so I didn’t feel rotten after doing it…but my energy level is still pretty low right now but with no food and 30 miles every day even my Mastodon friends are concerned…so, I’ll have to do better so as to not alarm people…I did feed my sourdough starter since I’m going to make a loaf later in the week..and it took off like crazy after having it in the fridge for weeks…but I’ll have to cut the crusts off of the slices since I can’t take hard food until the sockets heal…I can still taste the numbing agents they used on me since they used so much to get the teeth done…really bitter and I hope it goes away soon…just accidentally ran my electric tooth brush across one of the sockets and it felt like an electric shock…yow!
