Well…I feel like I’m in shock with everything going on with the idiot trump so I need a day without thinking about how he is trashing this country…so, I won’t…at least here…I did get out for a bike ride today in shorts and without gloves this morning since it was 51 degrees but the temp immediately started to fall and it was down to about 46 when I got back here and I was kicking myself for not putting a pair of gloves in the bag just in case….my shoulder was okay most of the way but started to hurt about 3 miles away and that continued after I got back here….but, I don’t think I did any permanent damage with the pain quickly going away…well…not going away but it got better but I need to stay ahead of the pain with some more ibuprofen right now…it sure was nice to be out with just a fleece and in shorts…you can feel the bike better and it just seems right…and, this time, I wasn’t the only one out in shorts…a couple of runners were brave, too…or crazy, however you want to look at it…that ends today, though, with it getting colder now and staying that way for the next week or so…still not a bad winter so far and I’ll take it…any day I can ride is a good one…but, it looks like I won’t get to 3,500 miles this year…going to miss it by about 25 miles but that still makes it a good year…oh, I did ride 161 miles on the old bike so I guess I’m over 3,500 with the two combined…not bad for an old guy….
December 28th
Well…running late today with not getting up until 6:24 and just pouring my first cup of coffee…slept okay last night and didn’t hurt my shoulder nearly as much as yesterday so I think I’m ahead of the game…and I have been able to pick up my coffee cup so that is a good sign…maybe there is progress today instead of regression…I can feel the tendons catching in there now so the swelling is going down gradually…didn’t get anything done yesterday but running some errands and washing the car and today will be much the same with trying to not put any strain on my shoulder..but, I am going out on the bike today…in shorts since it is over 50 out there right now and it will be a nice way to end the year…didn’t get to go out yesterday with all of the rain but I think that helped my shoulder feel better…that and ibuprofen and I have already started that…and I do have some chicken to cook today and that will a welcome change…more later…
Cohen WAS in Prague…
Well…as every day goes by, more information in the Steele dossier is confirmed and this last one just today is a blockbuster. Over the past two years, trump’s fixer/lawyer, Michael Cohen, has denied he was in Prague to meet with the Russians who were running the troll farms that were attacking Hillary during the campaign…but, just today, it was revealed that Cohen’s cell phone was pinging the cell towers near Prague during the time he has denied being there…and this proves he, or someone carrying his cell phone, was in Prague when Steele said he was. So now we know he lied about being in Prague, what else is he lying about? Steele reported in the dossier that the purpose of the meeting was to pay the Russians running those troll farms with campaign money for their efforts to smear Hillary and to boost Jill Stein to take away votes from Hillary….but Cohen denies that, too…or he did deny it…until Mueller got hold of him…I’ll bet he has spilled everything including the source of the money and that trump ordered the payment…after all, that was the way he ran his businesses and his affairs…he made all of the decisions about money…I can’t wait for next Thursday when we take over the House…trump is in for a world of hurt…impeach…
December 27th
Well…running a little early today with not having much to get at Meijers today….my shoulder has really regressed today to the point that I could barely use it when I got up and it hurts like crazy again…not sure if it is from sleeping wrong or from riding the bike but I do know it’s depressing to go back three steps and have to nurse it again…so, I don’t think I’ll ride today and I’ll use the rain as an excuse…it’s supposed to start soon and then rain most of the day…I did take some ibuprofen when I got up and I hope that helps soon…but, I know a tendon injury can take months to heal so I guess I’ll just hunker down and try to rest it…other than that…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done but watch soccer and football and today will be much the same…shoulder hurts too much to clean so I am going to take it easy….I do have to run out to Aldi’s to get some chicken thighs since they are on sale cheap and I am getting tired of ham….more later….
Cadet bone spurs…
Well…I did get a bike ride in this morning and now my shoulder is feeling it but I needed to come here and comment on the new NYT article that explains how the idiot trump got his deferments for “bone spurs” and avoided getting drafted and going to Vietnam. Let’s get right to the point, these deferments were fake…there were no “bone spurs” or anything else physically wrong with idiot boy…it was all a scam run by his daddy and two doctors who just happened to be tenants of daddys…yep…all the way back in the 60’s and 70’s daddy was protecting his little boy from doing his civic duty and going to fight in Vietnam…and committing a bunch of felonies doing it…and idiot boy knew about it so he is just as guilty of this fraud as daddy and the doctors were…and the doctors were paid for their fraud by daddy trump not raising their rents and in one case, getting a couple of apartments in return for saying idiot boy wasn’t physically qualified for the draft. We’ve all know for a long time what a fraud the idiot boy is and his bleatings that he is a self made billionaire were nothing but hot air…and he couldn’t even do his own fraud to stay out of the army when he was in his 20’s…he had to be protected by daddy…but, there is no longer anyone left to protect him now…and in 8 days he is going to feel it….oh, I get it now! His whining about no one protecting him that he threw at Jeff Sessions was driven by the fact that he has always had someone TO protect him, whether it was his daddy, Roy Cohn, or Michael Cohen, trump has never had to fend for himself and the whiny baby can’t take it…ha, ha, ha…impeach…
December 26th
Well…slept a little better last night with my shoulder getting better and that was a welcome change…I’ve been able to pick up a coffee cup this morning…still with some pain but, when I got up yesterday, it was impossible to do it hurt so bad…and trying to lift the ham out of the oven damn near killed me with pain…I think part of it is taking ibuprofen to get the swelling down…now it’s mostly just tight instead of pain so I think I’ll skip calling the doctor and just see how the healing goes…I am going to get back on the bike today as soon as it gets light but will take it easy…I do need to get out and back before 10 since Man U is playing this morning…I did have a nice ham dinner yesterday and that leaves me enough leftovers to eat for a week or so… so I won’t be cooking at all the rest of the week…I do have to clean some but think I’ll wait until the shoulder heals more…don’t want to do too much and aggravate it…more later…
The toddler in chief is sad…
Well…cripes is there anything more pathetic than the toddler in chief sitting in the WH and whining his ass off about everything? What a damn crybaby…who is just pissed that he didn’t get to go to his ugly golf course in Florida for 16 days because the dems said no to his stupid wall and won’t be bullied into funding it…so now trump just sits there…lashing out at everything and everyone and threatening to fire his Treasure Secretary and the head of the Federal Reserve…but, if he does that, who would ever take those jobs? He’s already down to the fourth string in every cabinet post and has more and more people turning him down for any job…many before they are even asked just to make sure they stay away from the shitstorm that is coming on January 3rd when the dems take over the House. It couldn’t happen to a worse person than trump..that finally, he is going to have to pay for a life of lies, cheating and hate…and I hope it sweeps the entire trump crime family away with him…impeach…
December 25th
Well…okay, this is what I expected…my shoulder is screaming in pain today and it is fitting the two day rule where damage shows up two days after it happens…and I can barely use it…even just took some pain meds this early to take the top off the pain…still don’t think I broke anything but if it stays this way, I’ll call the doctor tomorrow and see if I can get in….I’ve sure regressed since yesterday and that is depressing…didn’t sleep well at all last night and I am feeling it right now…that’s why I’m easing into the day and hoping that the coffee works soon…I am going to make a big dinner today for some reason but peeling the potatoes is going to be a chore that I’m not sure how it will work…still can’t put any pressure on my right shoulder and can’t raise my arm at all…crap…I was hoping the healing would be on it’s way today…okay…going to stop bitching about that right now and come back later to do another one…more later…
Say goodbye to another 3%…
Well….with the idiots in charge of the economy that trump has appointed, everyone who has a 401K or IRA has lost another 3% today…that translates to almost 700 points down again today…and with the bloodbath from last week, we are on pace for the worst December in stock market history…hey, let’s just add another worst to the worst president in history. This isn’t going to end here, either…the people who know what they are doing are bailing out of the stock market since they finally realize that the know nothings running the show don’t have the experience or knowledge necessary to deal with an economy heading fast toward a recession…the idiot sec of the treasury, Steve Mnuchin triggered this last crash in the market by calling the heads of many large banks just to ask them if everything’s okay…something he would know if he wasn’t on vacation in Cabo while his idiot boss shuts down the government and puts hundreds of thousands of working people out of work. One thing you have to remember is that qualifications aren’t necessary for anyone in trump world…in fact, knowledge and experience are disqualifying to the idiot in chief…anyone who is qualified and respected in his field wouldn’t work for the stupident anyway…everyone better hang on, this is going to get really, really ugly…what does it take repubs? Bankrupting the entire country before you’ll do anything? Impeach….
It still hurts…
Well….damn, my shoulder still hurts but I did get out to run the errands I needed to…trying to put the car in reverse was just too painful so I had to reach across and use my left hand to do it…even putting the key in the ignition hurt like crazy and I couldn’t raise my arm enough to use it to steer…but, I normally use my left hand anyway so that wasn’t too different…the worst part was trying to put a fleece on since I can’t raise my arm or put any pressure on it….can’t even lift a coffee cup with my arm extended…but, I will say this…the pain is less than yesterday…it doesn’t hurt much just sitting here today and that is without taking any ibuprofen yet….couldn’t even get off the couch yesterday without screaming pain and that is better so maybe I won’t have to see my doctor after all…I am going to skip the bike ride today but l’ll try it tomorrow…more later…
