Well…sitting here freezing my butt of again at 5:55 and I am getting really tired of being so cold…there really must be something wrong with me to feel so cold all the time…hoping the coffee helps warm me up…going to have to go out and shovel the 5 inches of snow we got yesterday but what I just couldn’t drag myself out to do…and I need to do an online check in for the phone call about my BP Monday…didn’t sleep much last night and was up at 3:11 and barely got back to sleep so I am worn out this morning…not sure what I’m going to eat today…probably finish up the chili dogs but will need to dig in the freezer for another one…or maybe I’ll just do a bagel and the chili dog and nothing else…who knows? More later…
Now he’s trying to buy Greenland..
Well…first idiot boy threatened to invade Greenland but now he’s trying to buy it by offering every resident 100,000 dollars…at that rate, the purchase price would be about 5.7 billion dollars and guess whose pocket it’s coming out of? Surely not his so it will be you and me and I never voted for that crap…and why does he have such a hard on for the US to steal Greenland from Denmark who has owned it since 1751? First he says he is going to take it by force but then the rest of NATO said they will defend the country if idiot boy tries that crap…so, of course he backs down and tries to buy it…no jobs being created, inflation way up and nothing is affordable but his number one issue is trying to steal Greenland…another impeachable offense…geez…
Can’t get warm again…
Well…after doing the bike rides, it’s another day where I can’t get warm and I’m not sure what the heck is going on with this old body…was just reading on the couch with 2 blankets and the heating pad on but my hands are cold as if I went outdoors with no gloves on…oh, well…so I’ll be back under the blankets in a few minutes…it is still snowing out here and we have already gotten a few inches with more to come…almost all of the snow piles were gone yesterday but it looks like we’ll be warm enough to melt this snow over the next few days but then normal January temps come back with highs in the 20’s…no big storms in the forecast so I guess that’s something…okay, need to go look for a political topic…
January 10th
Well…damn, out of bed before 6 again today and I feel like a skipping record…you remember records, right? Yeah, there are now two generations that never put vinyl on a turntable…and that is a little strange…so I guess I’ll have to play some today…didn’t sleep well at all last night and I’ll be paying for it later…but I still won’t be able to take a nap and that sucks…didn’t get a lot done yesterday after the no power debacle and the disruption in my day…it’s supposed to snow today and we have a winter weather advisory on and that seems like it happens every day…just want this damn winter to be over…but we still have months to go so I’ll be gritting my teeth and getting on with it…need to get on the weights here in a few minutes to get the day started but I’m so darn worn out I could just sit here and have more coffee and ease into it…but I won’t…more later…
Power went out today…
Well…the day started off pretty well with getting the weight work and 2 rides in by 9:30…then I ran out to the library to get a couple more books since the library is closed Monday for MLK day and I didn’t want to run out before Tuesday…and then around 11 o’clock the power went out and it didn’t come back on til 2pm…and the reason they gave was scheduled maintenance…I think it’s a little weird they did it in the middle of the day…luckily, it was kind of bright so I could read with opening the blinds…really suited up to stay warm and laid here under blankets and read 100 pages of the new book I started this morning…it was a pain to get the clocks reset and get the washer reset, too since the power went out when it was in the spin cycle…so now I want to read a bit before tv time…
Prosecute under state murder law..
Well…after the horrific murder of an American citizen by an ICE agent Wednesday, both the shooter and Kristi Noem should be prosecuted under Minnesota state law for murder…and it shouldn’t stop there…every damn time some ICE thug attacks anyone they should be prosecuted and the blue states need to lead the way…they constantly kidnap people and that is another statute that they should be prosecuted for on the state level…these lawless thugs have to be held accountable and we know that will never happen on the federal level when you have a corrupt AG like Pam Bondi who took bribes when Florida’s AG to drop the suits against trump university…so the blue states need to lead the way and not let the FBI bigfoot the cases like they did in the Minnesota murder…just because the corrupt FBI is trying to protect ICE in this shooting doesn’t mean the states have to stop their investigations…state AG’s need to step up and file charges against these thugs an do it now…geez…
January 9th
Well…up at 5:14 this morning and the wind is just howling out there…there is a wind advisory on right now with 50 mph gusts for today and that’s pretty normal out here….slept okay last night but I sure don’t feel like it right now…just poured the first cup of coffee and there is no way it’s going to work fast enough for me…so I’ll be sitting here struggling as I wait for it….might have to go to the library today to get a couple more books since they are closed Monday and I don’t want to run out…or I could just bite the bullet and get used to the coming lack of new ones to read and that is going to suck…oh, well…I really should get some cleaning done today and I think I’ll clean the stove top for a start…the bathroom can use a once over but I do need to get the weight work and rides in before that…not much to do today…going to make eggs and sausage for one meal today along with the leftover pizza for the other one…more later…
No weights today…
Well…I decided to give myself a day off the weights today to let my muscles recover…the last time I did that was months ago so my upper body needed the rest…I did get two rides in today but that was all I did other than reading…it got up to 50 here today but the crash starts Sunday and we’ll be down in the 20’s again…thought about taking the outdoor bike for a ride but there is still too much ice on the roads and I didn’t want to have to wash the bike…I did find out where the surgical office is where I’m getting the lesion removed at the end of the month…right next to the Meijers on Stermberg road so that’s easy…got a lot of spam calls today and that hasn’t happened in a while so I wonder what changed? Okay…want to read a bit more before the tv time starts…
We need to hit the streets…
Well…after watching the Iranian people hit the streets for the past 11 days trying to get rid of the incompetent government there, the idea hit me that after the ICE murder in Minnesota yesterday we need to do the same thing…we need to hit the streets here to force the repubs to do something to get rid of the idiot trump and his fascist minions…enough is enough and the people need to do this to save our democracy…I for one will be trying to find a protest out here and will suit up and go no matter how cold it is…it is time for all of us to get off our asses and do something to resist what idiot boy is doing to this country and to the world…now is the time…geez..
December 8th
Well…up at 5:40 this morning and that makes for a 6 hour night of sleep and I really do need more than that…so, I’m pretty worn out today and it’s going to be a lot of work to get moving today…but I don’t have a lot to do so maybe that will make it easier….it’s going to get to almost 50 today and I have been thinking about taking the outdoor bike out but there is still too much snow and slush in the alley to ride it out to the street…still have leftovers so I won’t have to cook today but I’m getting bored with what I’ve been making…going to finish off the soup today and maybe make some eggs and sausage…but who knows? I do know I’m going to start the day with a toasted bagel with cream cheese after the weight work…not much to do today…just need to get moving, have more coffee and get the day started….more later…
