Me First

 Our temps are in the mid 40s (F) and we're not supposed to make it out of the 50s (F).  The next thing on our seasonal agenda is our first frost.  After that we can have an Indian Summer when for a few days temps will cruise around in the low to mid 70s (F), and some people will turn on their air conditioning.  If this year is like the past few, for a week or so in mid December our temps will drop shockingly low and then rebound, at least up here in Central Pa.

And yesterday, being Wednesday, was once again a meh kind of day.  I did get my workout in with a few adjustments.  I'm now using 20 lb. dumbbells for my presses and my rows.  This is a move in the right direction.  If my strength continues to increase, I'll have to go out and buy bigger dumbbells.

I also got 2 loads of laundry done yesterday as well as a few other chores, so I'm thinking the day was not as meh as I thought.

I do get to go in to work this afternoon.  It will be interesting to see how the store is doing.  Last week we missed plan.  I suspect that will happen again this week.  I have a customer I have to call.  He wanted an estimate during our initial conversation, however our software was acting up so I gave him a very rough estimate on the square footage he gave me.  Well, that footage was off a bit and there other things needed for the installation than I knew about, so his quote is about $1300 higher than the estimate I gave him.  I doubt if they'll go through with the job.  That's too much of an increase.

Howie brought a stick into the house.  This happens several times a day.  He seems to think that he needs to trade a stick for a treat every time he comes in from outside.  So, for the time being, he seems to have replaced the stones and rocks with sticks.

One of the big problems with America is that there is this voting bloc that doesn't really care what the Orange Anus does until they, themselves feel the pain.  These are the FAFO people.  I know several of these people, and and most of them are Republicans.  This is a very big problem because by the time their own tiny lives are affected, so many millions of others will have suffered.  I actually had someone tell me they don't care what Orangie's doing, it doesn't affect them.  I honestly don't know where this lack of compassion came from.  I know a big part of it is the fact that these people have prioritized selfishness.  Their creed is, "what's in it for me?"  These people need to stay away from the ballot box because they always vote party line; they've been voting Republican since the first ballot they cast.  And if you think these people wil suddenly change and become more compassionate you can forget it.  That would mean they'd never be able to say "me first," ever again.
