Well…the good news came today that ron desantis is dropping out of the presidential race and the only thing I have to say is good riddance…ole ronnie boy was probably the worst candidate I’ve ever seen…just a wooden, stupid prick who thinks he’s smarter than he is and has done his best to turn Florida into trumpworld…and his surgeon general just come out last week and told everyone to not take the latest covid vaccine…that’s the kind of unqualified people all of the repubs appoint…the only good thing that came out of ronnie’s run was that a few hundred million dollars that he blew won’t be available to any other repub up and down the ballot…bye, bye ronnie…don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…geez…
An easy day…
Well…took it easy today and only did the rides and the weight work…again…I’ll get back to working around here tomorrow with cleaning the living room and doing the floors…oh, I did give myself a haircut today, too since I was looking a little shaggy and needed that cleaned up….the weight work is putting some strain on my elbows and they have started to hurt some along with my back but I think it will go away after I get used to doing it every day…I want to get the second coat of paint on the downstairs wall and I have some more paint that needs to come off the stairway since it is peeling and then I’ll paint that, too…will probably need to start picking out a color to paint the entire basement sine I really don’t like the blue it is right now…have to get working on this place…
January 21st
Well…my eyes are so full of crap from allergies this morning that I can barely see…and my head is plugged up and I am miserable…so tired of allergies that I have have to start taking medicine for them today…didn’t sleep well last night and if there was a day to take one off it would be today….but I won’t…I’ll be down on the bike in around an hour but that seems like a lot of work….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I need to get everything done today before 3 when the Lions play…haven’t looked outside yet but it looks like it snowed last night…probably just enough to shovel it and maybe put some salt on the walks…ate way too much yesterday so I should just starve today to make up for it…had a small bean burrito and half a bowl of soup yesterday and I know that’s under 1K calories but that seems like a lot these days…just feel so fat and I’m not shedding weight like I need to…so that will make me get on the bike today…man, I’m tired…need more coffee…you know, I am tired of having so much discipline…when do I get to just live? Not much to do today…I am going to take the next hour to have coffee and relax and then get moving….more later…
A too lazy of a day today…
Well…yeah, the title says it all…didn’t do a damn thing today but the two bike rides and weight work and I feel guilty about that…should have cleaned the living room at least but that will have to wait til tomorrow since I just didn’t feel like doing it…it’s been three days since I’ve had to shovel snow and the pain from shoveling is almost gone….and it looks like no snow until Monday but then back to 3-6 inches again before the warm up comes Tuesday…can finally start taking some food out of the freezer tomorrow and I think I’ll make popcorn chicken and fries for a change…have pounds of those left in there and they need to be used….the tv show “Slow Horses” with Gary Oldman in it showed up on plex and I am going to make that the show for tonight along with svengoolie maybe….
Dementia Don strikes again…
Well…when did Nancy Pelosi turn into Nikki Haley and why didn’t anyone tell me about it? At least that is what it sounds like if you listen tot he idiot trump spout his gibberish like he did in NH earlier in the week…as he dragged out his tired bullshit…it is now Nikki Haley who was in charge of the military on January 6th and she is the one who didn’t send in the troops instead of Nancy…and the rest of the speech was a word salad that made no damn sense at all…and the repubs constantly harp about Joe Biden losing it and being too old to be president and yet they are going to nominate this moron who every world leader just laughs at…and it’s taken 3 years for Joe and his team to repair the damage he did…so let’s do everything we can to make sure he gets nowhere near the WH…vote! geez….
January 20th
Well…damn, it’s down to 2 degrees out here and I wonder if we’ll get down to zero this year? A warm up is coming in a few days so I guess Feb will be the only chance…okay, it’s up to 8 and I wonder how that works…the temp going up overnight? Hmmmm…slept all the way through til 5 this morning and then out of bed at 6 and I don’t think I’m ever going to sleep better than that…and that sucks a little…and I’m having a hard time getting going today with just working on the first cup of coffee….got to 300 miles on the bike yesterday and I’m hoping to get to 400 by the end of the month…that still is not enough to get me to my 7,000 mile goal for the year but I knew it was going to be a lot of work to get there with lots of 45 mile and 60 mile days once I get outside again…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I don’t even have to cook today so it is going to be an easy day unless I decide to do some heavy cleaning….the living room could use some work…I did get to play some vinyl yesterday and that was a lot of fun and I may do that again today if I decide to clean…more later…
This is funny…
Well…I did make the chicken masala today and thought I’d play some vinyl while I worked…so, I put “Four Way Street” on starting with the first album, fist side, and got started on cooking…when I got to “Find the Cost of Freedom” that is the last song on the second album I had just sat down to eat…so now chicken masala takes one “Four Way Street” instead of and hour and a half….so damn dehydrated today that I never sweated even after two bike rides so I have been pouring water down all day to try to fix that….so now I don’t have to cook again for the next few days…but I do need to plan the meals for next week…but I’m not going to do that now…need to just veg a bit…
It’s about time…
Well…finally, Joe Biden is going on the attack against the idiot trump and has chosen a winner of a way to do it…abortion…even in red states, overturning Roe has been a political loser in every election since the corrupt SC ignored precedent and took away women’s rights across this country…and idiot boy keeps bragging to the forced birthers that “he” did it…that he made women second class citizens in many states, most of them red,…when you look at the polls, only about 30% of the people across the country wants abortion outlawed and they feel that it is a subject between a woman and her doctor and no one else…but the tiny minority that wants women to die instead of aborting a dead fetus, like in Texas, have gleefully mad more and more draconian laws that have already killed women and they don’t care…so, I’m glad that Joe is hitting idiot boy hard…women’s rights is a winning issue that we need to use to pound these assholes…geez…
January 19th
Well…up at 5:03 today but I didn’t drag myself out of bed til a little after 6 so I’ll consider that a success…it would be nice to get a full 8 hours of sleep one more time before I die but I don’t think that is going to happen…not sure why I’m so damn sore every day even without shoveling yesterday but it’s getting old…as I am…so maybe that’s it? It’s going to be really cold tonight getting down to 6 degrees but then we are going to get a break and a warm up for a few days that will be welcome….I have to remember that we are slowly moving to spring when the gloom of the winter gets to be too much…I mean 15 minutes of sunlight in the past two weeks? Oh, well…I keep thinking of taking a day for myself and not riding or cleaning or cooking and I wonder if I’ll ever be able to do that? Probably not but damn, isn’t that what being retired is supposed to be? I might head over to the library to return the books I read and get some more and I was going to walk it but no one clears the damn sidewalks but me and I’m not going to walk in the road….not much to do today…just going to cook the chicken masala in the instant pot for lunch and then try to get some rest this afternoon…feel pretty worn out and need more coffee to try to get going…more later…
Lots done today…
Well…it was a busy day today and I got a lot done so that was cool….started it out with getting laundry going before I did the grocery run and then two rides when I got back here, a quick lunch and then put the first coat of paint on the repaired blocks downstairs….and I did remember to do the weight work this evening and now it’s time to wind down with a little tv…my mouth still doesn’t hurt so I’ll take that any day but I have been grinding my teeth a lot today and that doesn’t help with the jaw pain…with getting lots done today, I really only have the bike rides and making chicken masala tomorrow so I’ll be done early enough to have it for lunch…I do need to find room in the freezer for one container of the Italian soup I made the other day and that will be a project for after lunch…now it’s time to wind down…
