Well…cripes, I just saw that I didn’t come back here for a second one yesterday and I am going to blame it on the pain in my foot…it did hurt like crazy all day and doing the errands I needed to do made it worse to the point I couldn’t get my shoe on anymore…but, when I woke up this morning I can feel progress and it doesn’t hurt as much as it did yesterday…I’m still walking funny favoring it and I think I now can feel a reaction to the flu shot I got Tuesday….feeling warm and coughing so maybe it’s actually a bug? Who knows? But, I do know the pain from this bout of gout…ha, that’s funny…was the most pain I’ve felt since the bike crash last year…and I’m probably going to aggravate it working on the house today…going to be over there most of the day waiting for a UPS delivery that will allow me to get my internet up and running Monday…then, the race to the move starts and I should be over there the week after next…got some of the kitchen loaded up yesterday and will maybe finish that over the weekend…don’t want to move my spices or pots yet since I do need to cook but everything else will be gone before next week…or, maybe I’ll take the weekend off and just hang out and veg to try to get my foot healed completely…I am having a couple with K this afternoon to celebrate the move and that should be fun….more later…
October 3rd
Well…running a little late today with doing a hobbling grocery run and my foot feeling like fire with every step….but, that is not the worst of it…just getting a shoe on is the most pain I have felt in years and even ibuprofen does nothing to help it…so, I may be resting it some today…Thursdays are normally days off anyway but that is to do my food errands but I think today will just be taking care of the foot…of course, I didn’t sleep for crap last night since the weight of just the sheets set the pain in my foot howling and there was no way to get comfortable…so, I am exhausted again today but need to load the car up for the trip over to the house tomorrow…but that is going to wait for a while as I let the coffee work some…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but do some repairs on window frames so I can sand and paint to get ready to buy some new shades and install them next week….I may try to get started to clean this place today but I have all month so we’ll see how the foot feels…I’m kind of glad it’s raining out there so I don’t feel guilty about not riding but I may try to get one in if it stops…my foot doesn’t hurt when I ride but getting the shoe on is going to be hard….more later….
It’s a meltdown!
Well….the idiot trump continues to melt down from the reality that even his delusional ass has recognized…that he is going to be impeached, he may not be removed but he will not win reelection and he is going to go to jail after his term is done. In his latest rants, he went after Adam Schiff, the chair of the foreign relations committee, calling his impeachment investigation treason and calling for Schiff to be arrested for doing his job…and idiot boy went off again after Schiff and Nancy Pelosi held a joint news conference describing how they are going to proceed telling the reporters the investigation is going to be swift and thorough…and telling the country that they have had enough of trump’s obstruction and anyone who ignores subpoenas or tells their subordinates to not testify is guilty of obstruction of the impeachment investigation and there will be consequences if they do it…so maybe we’re getting somewhere, finally…
Foot update
Well…got to the doctor and found out that the pain in my foot is gout…yep, I have the condition that people get from eating rich foods…and I never eat anything like that. So, I ranted to my doctor a bit that I eat right and after we talked a bit, he is pretty sure that my case was caused by chronic dehydration from riding the bike so much and working on the house….so, it looks like I have the next three days off everything until the medication he gave me starts to work…and I have to elevate my foot and drink as much water as I can stand…one good thing about this whole mess is that the doctor visit and the prescription only cost me 13 bucks so I kind of like my health insurance now….this is my first prescription in almost 20 years and that is kind of weird…at least now I know that it is not a broken bone or bone cancer or something like that….
This sucks…
Well…the pain in my foot has gotten so bad that I had to shorten up the work on the house since going up and down stairs leaves me howling in pain…okay, just walking at all leaves me in pain and trying to put the brakes on in the car is damn near impossible…I just can’t have this now…only have two weeks to get the house done and get moved…luckily, my doctor has an open appointment today so I am going in to have him look at it…might just as well use the insurance I have been paying for for the past year…and the co pay for a doctor visit is only 5 bucks so it is worth it…sure hope it’s not arthritis or some other chronic condition…crap, crap, crap….
October 2nd
Well…damn…my foot still hurts like crazy and I am hobbling around trying to walk…this one might get me back to the doctor since it feels like it is not healing since I woke up with it Sunday….even took something for it already this morning and I need to have the pain subside with crunch time on the move coming up….so today may just be a run over to unload the car and then back here without cleaning…I do have two weeks until I want to be moved so I guess I can afford a light day…almost have everything out of the bedroom and the hall closet and have started on the living room and it looks like about 5 more trips will clean this place out except for the big stuff…man, I feel crappy this morning and I wonder if it’s a reaction to the flu shot I got yesterday…I know my arm still hurts from it and it was pretty puffy but it seems better today….it looks like no bike ride this morning with the rain coming in and that may help my foot but I’m not sure…just feel pretty decrepit today and I may just take the day off tomorrow to rest…okay, yep…going to call the doctor this morning and see if I can get in…more later…
Barr needs to be impeached…
Well…cripes, if you are away from the news for even a few minutes, everything changes before you know it…the latest outrage by the criminals in the idiot trump’s administration is that William Barr has been the driver behind trying to get other countries to dig up dirt on Biden and to discredit the professionals in the intelligence community who found, for a fact, that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Now, I’m not sure about you, but I’m pretty sure that this has never happened in the history of the country…where the AG traveled the world trying to get other countries to attack our government and out institutions…just to protect the corrupt asshole who was installed by Putin….with just what we know now, and before any in depth investigations, Barr has done enough to warrant being removed…his damn job is to protect this country, not the idiot trump and yet protect trump is all he does…and that goes for Pompeo, too, but the House committee chairs have had enough of his bullshit and have told him they will not let his witness intimidation or stonewalling stand…they will charge him with obstruction of the impeachment investigation if he doesn’t show up and bring the documents they have subpoened…it’s starting to get real and these morons need to start thinking of what prison they want to go to…that’s where they are going to end up…
October 1st
Well…okay, my site was down so this one is going to be short since I want to get out on the bike to set up for my last day of two rides a day….not even going talk about how I slept…you know the drill…I did get my new cable modem for the house yesterday and I am going to attempt to set it up and get it running myself with the kit that Comcast is sending and that will save me the 70 buck installation fee…but, first I need to get to the post office this morning and get the mail restarted so they can deliver it to the house…that is going to be a pain getting address changes for everything I need but I have a month to do that so I guess I have time…I am going to get a flu shot this afternoon and it should only cost me 5 bucks at my doctor’s office…it will be the first time I’ve used my insurance since I changed it to Priority Health so we’ll see…got he majority of the painting done yesterday so now I need to get into cleaning mode so I can be ready to move the big stuff week after next…have almost all of the small stuff moved but need to strip the kitchen over the next few days…I think I’ll start cleaning there this morning after I mow the lawn so I can just put stuff away as I take it over…not sure how I’m going to organize it yet but that can be changed as I get moved in…more later…
He just can’t help it…
Well…you can really tell that the idiot trump has never had to suffer the consequences of his entire life of lawbreaking since he continues to do it…ever since the whistleblower story broke, trump has been breaking more laws on an almost daily basis…and just today he admitted that he is trying to “find out” who this person is, and with his big mouth, he would certainly reveal who it is which is a three year felony…and I just read an analysis that posits that just him talking about “finding out” and tweeting threatening statements are a clear case of witness intimidation and again, that’s a felony, too…just the act of trying to find out who the whistleblower is violates the Whistleblower protection act of 1989…another felony that he just admitted to at a press briefing at the WH…I think we’re at the point that that damn memo that prevents a sitting president from being indicted needs to go and trump needs to be charged with all of these crimes which will put him in jail for the rest of his life. I am waiting patiently for the impeachment hearings to happen…I will be moved by then and can spend the entire time watching…just like I did for Watergate…get the popcorn ready….
September 30th
Well…another 3:04 and 5:04 morning and I am damn exhausted…and my big toe still hurts making it a little painful to walk around here…but I do need to paint today so I guess I’ll just suck it up and get the last coat on the bedroom done…I may feel a little crabby today since I didn’t ride the bike at all yesterday with all of the rain but I should be able to get out this morning…but it’s looks like I’m going to have to shift back to one ride a day with the cold weather coming later in the week…highs in the 50’s and I am not ready for that yet….I packed my cold weather bike gear and should try to find what bag it’s in so I can use it later in the week…my new modem is coming today so I can get the install scheduled with comcast later in the week and that is the last part of the puzzle for the house…so, no more painting after today…need to get the place clean so I can get everything moved next week or the week after…that will depend on how fast I can get the rest of the small stuff moved…have the bedroom stripped and will get to the hall closet this afternoon and that will leave only the kitchen and the remainder of the living room to do…I do have all October so I don’t know why I’m rushing so much…there is one milestone that I reach today…I will pay my last rent payment and I’m kind of happy about that…it’s been a long time and this move will be a good thing…but, I do need to get some warm lounging clothes since I won’t be able to run the house at 75 degrees like I do here…more later…
