When you hit middle age you really only have two choices: you can get fat and lazy until you roll over and die, or you can can get off your ass and do something, like maybe ride a bike.
Bluntness
I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.
Another sleepy Sunday has arrived. Biggie is sleeping on the floor beside me. I've ordered some cream that's supposed to help with the two furuncle between the two toes on his left foot. They recommend giving him an Epsom salt foot bath, I'm sure that will be an experience.
I only have to work 4 hours today, 3 - 7. That shouldn't be too bad. Yesterday we were busy. I ended up getting 3 measures. Damn, the slow time of the year is ending, not that it was ever really that slow. There were maybe 2 weeks when the store usually cleared out around 3 o'clock. That didn't happen yesterday. We'll see what today's like.
The mask mandate has come off at work. I'm okay with that. Vaxxed and boosted, if I do get Covid hopefully the symptoms will be minor. Right now the unvaxxed make up the majority of deaths, between 2300 and 2800 a day. I have no problem with that either. And, if someone an unvaxed person comes up to me and whines about getting it a second time, I might laugh in his face and say "what the hell did you think was going to happen?"
And Putty's booty must be burning badly with all of the solidarity rising around the world for the Ukraine. the NATO he hates so much is doing exactly what was planned, standing up to him. And they don't need to be a part of NATO to stand with the Ukraine. Turkey has the Dardanelles down to Russian warships. These countries realize Putin will not stop with the Ukraine. Will he be successful? In the long run, no, but you he will have no problem sacrificing thousands and thousands of young, Russian lives to get what wants. That's always been a problem with bad people in power, sacrificing others means nothing to them.
We had nice temps yesterday shame I had to work. The thermometer is supposed to rise into the mid 80's (F) today. Shame I have to work.
Flooring was a bit on the slow side yesterday. I suspect today might be the same. I'm only expected to get 2 measures this week. The truth is we're heading into Memorial Day. People are more concerned with what their house looks on the outside then getting new flooring. Barbecues are being planned. Covid will spread among the unprotected. This is how life goes. At this point, after a year of wearing a mask, I don't really have a problem with that since this is how evolution works. If you're given the opportunity to protect yourself and you chose not to, well that's your responsibility, isn't it? The constitution was not written to make you stay healthy, just don't expect a lot of sympathy from us 'smart' ones.
That wheat bread was so tasty, I'm going to bake another loaf tomorrow. Yum's the word.
My third reader returned his copy of The Body in the Loch yesterday. Certain sentences earned little smiley faces, like this one: 'The countryside was beautiful, forests planting their feet all the way to the craggy hills with garlands of rocks.' I can only believe he thinks this is what Scotland looks like.
And while I'm still jotting down notes, lots and lots of notes, on The Body in Repose, I can tell you this little ditty will play a part in the story.
I understand the Republicans are going after Liz Cheney. They don't understand she represents their Centrist wing. Oh, and they booed Mitt Romney. This is a party that has grown delusional. So far out of touch with America. They will never understand a majority of Americans view Loser #45 as a used car salesman pushing shitty, little lies.
Oh, and I guess the question 'de jour' is whether Rudy Kazoody is going to flip. I've heard he's already 'cooperating' with the Justice Department. I also understand that Ronnie Johnson is in the same boat. I can 'tell all' books in both of their futures. We'll just have to wait to see which one uses the title "I Was a Dupe for the Russkies." Now, won't that be a tasty morsel. Yum!
