Well…running late today with the computer doing another damn update that took 15 minutes after I turned it on….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today so I guess that’s something…was really sore yesterday with going as hard as I could on the bike…it felt good while I was doing it but the soreness has bled over into today…should probably take something before I get on the bike in a minute….I did get started with cobweb removal yesterday and I think I’ll clean more today before the world cup starts today…I am really torn about watching it since it is in Russia…and they have damaged this country by saddling us with trump…hmmmm…but, right now all I need to do is have more coffee…and revel in the fact that that I don’t have to go to the SoS to renew my drivers license this year…that just made my day yesterday….more later….oh, and the damn “activate windows” notice in the lower right corner of the screen is gone…that will make my day today….and having chili dogs for lunch…
Well….was just going through the mail and got my renewal notices for both my car license plate and my drivers license…and the good news is that I can renew both by mail…no eye test or new picture, or standing in line at the SoS…and that is pretty cool. I can get on that next week…my big bitch here though is I have to get a new plate for the car and I’m going to lose OHM T-39…and that is going to cost 102 dollars…yow, for just a year…and my drivers license cost is 25 bucks…I know that is only about 6 bucks a year…oh, no, it will be more since I want to keep my cycle endorsement…I think that is 2 bucks more…damn, that’s a lot of cash….oh, well….
Well…if the news of the idiot trump was not bad enough with his fumbling and flailing on the world stage the past week, it just got way, way worse for him this morning with the news that Michael Cohen’s lawyers just quit, which usually signals that Mueller has flipped him and he has started to cooperate with the investigation…and the only way that they would give him a deal is if he gives up someone higher up…and the only one in his circle who is higher up is the idiot boy trump himself. I am almost giddy with glee at this development, that there may be an end to this national nightmare that has a real crime family running the show…and we know that Jared and Ivanka worked with Cohen on many “deals” so I’m guessing that means that they are in the crosshairs now, too…couldn’t happen to more rotten people who have gotten away with too much for too long…get used to orange Mikey…and Ivanka, and Jared…you’ll be wearing it for a long time….impeach…
Well…not sure why but I woke up coughing like crazy today and it continues right now…thought I might have a cold coming on a few days back so I wonder it that’s it…feel a little crappy today and I’m not sure why that would be other than a cold….slept okay last night but I am a little disappointed there were no dreams to speak of after the good ones I had Monday night…but that is the pattern I’ve fallen into….seems like I was in the car a lot yesterday but I got some new shorts and lots of burger so that was okay….I’ve got to spray this place today…have been getting lots of frickin crickets in the bathroom and they are just damn annoying….didn’t clean yesterday but I am going to start on the kitchen today after the normal stuff…if the coffee starts to work, that is….more later….
Well…was just sitting here reading the news on my phone and one of the targeted ads that I normally hate appeared in my Daily Kos feed…99 cents a pound for ground chuck…so, I jumped in the car and went to the store called Daily Deals that is only about a mile from here and picked up a frozen brick of 6 pounds of chuck…now, the cheapest I’ve seen ground chuck around here in the past 5 years is 2.99 so this is just a great deal…and, I’ll have enough chuck to last me for 3 or 4 months…burgers and tacos this weekend!
Well…with all of the distractions from the bull trump crashing and bashing the institutions that have kept the peace since the end of WWII, one little thing has flown under the radar is the pending attack the the repubs have planned on everyone’s health insurance. Specifically, they are going after protections for people who have pre-existing conditions and are going to allow insurance companies to go back to the bad old days where acne or broken bones were enough for them to deny insurance to anyone. I know that people who have employer provided insurance think this has nothing to do with them, that they are immune to this sort of thing and they can just keep voting for repubs and it won’t affect their lives…well, guess again…this new repub plan covers all health insurance in the US both from the ACA and from employers….the latest estimate is that over 165 million people have pre-existing conditions under the new rules that the repubs want to pass…and that’s 165 million of our fellow Americans who now will go back to the bad old days when one illness was all that it would take to bankrupt people and take away what they worked for the entire lives. This is what you get when you vote for repubs…tax giveaways to the rich and corporations, and now taking health insurance away from almost half of the people in this country…these folks are just evil….
Well….pretty much on time today with it being before 7….had a nice day yesterday with the top down out and back to pool, oh, and I won, and I even got out and bought some new clothes…how can you pass up 100% cotton polos for 5 bucks each? I was good last night and that meant I was up and down all night…but, I had some weird, weird dreams with nuclear weapons and a post apocalyptic landscape of scavenging and death…yeah, pretty weird….but it was cool to have dreams for a change….feel okay today and I’m not really sore anywhere and I should be with having some hard sprints on the bike yesterday….so I guess I’ll try it again today and see what happens….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I did a lot Sunday so I guess that works out…I do need to cook today so I think I’ll combine that with cleaning the kitchen some….more later….
Well…after the debacle of the idiot trump’s behavior at the G-7 conference this past weekend, the European news is completely destroying trump, calling him a “petulant little child” and Macron of France even going so far as stating that there is really no point in even talking to trump since he is an “incoherent liar” that tries to govern by “fits of anger”….now, I just want you to let that sink in a minute….the repubs freaked out when Obama wore a tan suit and now they are silent when trump bulls his way to destroying our standing in the world since he is just so damn ignorant and dumb. Now, I think Putin got just what he paid for in electing trump….he wanted to drive a wedge into all of the European relationships from Nato to the G-7 and trump is obliging him…and now trump wants Russia re-admitted to the G-7, not understanding or caring that they were expelled for the annexation of Crimea and their invasion of the Ukraine…attacks that are still going on right now. Now we have the idiot in chief talking to Kim and elevating his thuggish regime on the world stage….and no matter how trump’s toadies spin it, it is not a good thing to be talking to Kim and it is not a “failure” of previous presidents when they didn’t….they knew that Kim couldn’t be trusted and still can’t…but, I guess trump is comfortable around liars…after all, he is the biggest liar in the world…impeach…
Well….running a little early today but I am still having trouble getting started….just don’t feel like doing anything yet but I guess I’ll have to…slept okay last night but woke up sore this morning…must have slept on my right shoulder since it hurts…but, everything hurts and I couldn’t have slept on everything….thought I had a cold yesterday and it felt like it but I’m not feeling it today so that’s a little weird…I did get some work done yesterday with cleaning the bathroom, doing some laundry, and running the dishwasher so I don’t feel as guilty as I did….but, today I won’t do much other than the workout and getting the bike ride in….I may go wash the car but I’m not sure about that yet….more later….
Well…running on time today even with having to go over to Meijers to get some veggies that I forgot Thursday…want to make some chicken stir fry for lunch…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today but I am a little sore from the ride yesterday…but, I won’t be going out today with rain about 20 mins away…and I just don’t want to get wet right now…so, maybe a rest day is what I need…might be able to get out after the F1 race but I’m just not motivated right now….maybe the coffee will help….didn’t get much done yesterday but I think I’ll clean the bathroom today after I take some time to read the news….and maybe even the kitchen but probably not….more later….
