Holy Crap! It's Monday! I am not scheduled to work today. The big orange retailer I work is going to pay me some vacation time. 82 hours needs to be used within the next 6 months, so I'm going to spread them out, using a couple here and a couple there.
I had lunch with friends down in York yesterday and we talked about aging (some are even older than I). Not one of us feels old. We do have 'aches and pains' and I have the lower spinal issue, but not of us are the stereotypical 'old folks.' In fact, I'm fairly certain that if some was to clunk us into that classification one, if not all of us, would have to club the shit out of you. Attitudes are changing.
Biggie's meds will be arriving tomorrow. This is whole day he's gone with out his puppy nsaid, so I'm waiting to see how it goes.
I also bought some new sheets. They looked a lot more purply in the ad. I took a pic since this is one of the few times there have not been any doggy toys on the bed.
Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearings begin today. For those of you who haven't seen the GOP playbook, you need to rut around in your closet until you find their playbook for Merrick Garland: stall with inappropriate questions; delay as much as possible, hopefully until they get that majority they believe they're going to get this November; vote 'no' if she ever comes up for a vote. I might be wrong on this, but while the House has black congressmen, the Senate does not. Yep, I'm pretty sure they are all white.
And, for those who missed it, Clarence (I'm only black on the outside) Thomas is in the hospital. You may have thought you heard someone nearby farting loudly; nah, that was only the collective horror of hundreds of thousands of Evangelicals. They need Clarence to keep their politically stacked majority. I find it interesting that he was admitted on Friday, however nothing was said until Sunday. Normally, that does not portend good news. We're being told he has flu-like symptoms that are abating, but it's not Covid. He's on an IV drip of antibiotics... that implies something serious. He is expected to be released in a few days. Did he actually have a mini-stroke? Or maybe a minor heart attack? Or is God simply punishing him for being an Oreo?
They are purdy sheets!!!!!! I pictured you a white, grey or blue shade guy!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping Biden would have went with Judge Michelle Childs first, but Im happy also with Ketanji Brown Jackson. I think they were his two best picks.
White, gray, or blue? Nah, my favorite colors are blood red, forest green, and chocolate brown. Conservatives will try and dick this nomination to death.
DeleteOhh I like the sheets. And you could use your comforter with them (I'm not sure about the blood red but these with dark green? I would.
ReplyDeleteAnd you got together with friends older than you? Does that mean they are in their... FORTIES?
As for the Repugs, they'll pull out any and every fuckery from their playbooks to stall this nomination. I can't with them. I hope Uncle Joe appoints three more judges, given that Clarence is gonna croak from this absolutely not COVID infection. LOL
XOXO
Supposedly they want to get back at the Democrats because of Kavanaugh.
DeleteI bought new sheets recently too. Mine are red. I was getting tired of the pastel green and the flannels.
ReplyDeleteI had red sheets, it's one of my favorite colors.
DeleteMaybe Clarence and Ginni got Omiron'd???
ReplyDeleteCouldn't happen to a more deserving pair of vile, contemptible humans.
They are quite deserving. Having antibiotics iv'd into his system sounds deliciously bad.
DeleteI may be "old" according to my kids but since I don't have any aches and pains (long may it last), I certainly don't feel old. Mind you, losing 25 lbs would probably make me feel even better!
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem... because of too many carbs and not enough exercise.
