The Mole at Mar a Lago

 Temps are supposed to climb into the mid 70s (F) today, and being that it's Saturday, I'm scheduled to work.  In fact this week the weather forecasters are predicting the weather to be nice, warm, with only the occasional shower.  What a shame I have to work on Thursday.

My phone is going crazy with notifications want to let me know that Charles is now king.  Not being an Anglophile and never really liking the man, I could care less.  His family is one of the most publicly dysfunctional groups of people I've ever seen, and they seem to have absolutely no idea on how to fix themselves.

The men working on the house next door did show up for an hour so late yesterday afternoon.  They, too, seem either terribly dysfunctional or completely disorganized.  I suspect it's the latter.  Originally they were going to rehab and rent the house out.  Then they decided they were going to upgrade it and sell it for a lot of money.  That plan has changed again, according to one of the workers.  I suspect they still might try and sell it, but at a much lower price since most of the amenities they were going to include have dumped.  Yeah, that's right, no marble countertops.

Being that I work this weekend, I made cheesy scalloped potatoes with ham yesterday.  Some of it was frozen and the rest will provide me with lunches through Tuesday.

And you'll notice I'm not going to ask if it's just me thinking that a day doesn't go by without someone, somewhere, flipping over another rock and finding more dirt about Clarence Thomas.  That man deserves all of the negative press he gets, and then some.

Of course, the big news yesterday was that at least eight of the fake electors in Georgia have been granted immunity.  For those who need a translation, this another way of saying that they flipped.  Purportedly, the charge they're going for is racketeering.  That's a very good charge.

There does seem to be a lot of flipping going on, doesn't there?  People are talking about the Mole at Mar a Lago, sounds like a snappy song title, doesn't it?  I'm surprised Randy Rainbow hasn't come out with a catching little ditty everyone is playing.  So, who is this mysterious individual who's decided to give all for America?  Some think it's Melanoma Melania.  I don't know about that.  I keep thinking about King Lear and how it's was his daughter's who did him so much damage.

That's not how this works

 So, today is my 6th consecutive day of working.  Since I have a lot to say about my scheduling, this will the last time I work so many days in a row.  This week has been so out of sync.  My laundry schedule is off.  So is my cleaning schedule.  After today, I will have 3 days off.  I'll work Monday and then have another 4 days off.  That's a schedule I can live with.

While I've gotten well over 10,000 steps in each day, I haven't been on either the treadmill or the bike in over a week.  Another casualty of my schedule.  Damn.  

If the forecasters are correct, our temps are supposed to drop, with highs in the mid to upper 70s (F).  I can live with that, too.  Even though this has not been a hot summer, I will admit to looking forward to the crisp cool days of autumn.  The only bad thing is that days get shorter.  I do like long, sunny days.

My elephant ear plant is getting bigger.  What a disappointment that it took so long to start growing.  They bulbs do not winter, so I will have to check and see what'll happen if I dig it up in the fall.

Word is going around that there's a mole in Mar a Lago, that someone told the FBI exactly what they needed to look for, and where they needed to look.  Personally, if I was going to steal classified documents from the Federal Government, I wouldn't hide them in a storage unit in my basement.  Of course, this might not occur to a man who's so used to having his ego do the thinking.

After yesterday's deposition, by his own definition Trump can now officially be called a Mob Boss.  Yep, that video clip of him saying that only Mob Bosses use the 5th amendment has been playing in sooooo many places.  And that duffer didn't just use it once.  Nope.  Over 400 times he said, "same as before."  For 4 hours, those are the only three words he said, "same as before."  This will never change.

Oh, and not surprisingly, Doug Mastriano, the Republican candidate for governor in Pennsylvania had his deposition with the January 6 committee, and a rather short deposition it was, indeed.  Fifteen minutes.  You see, the first thing out of Doug's legal team's mouths was, "we have some questions."  They were told, "that's not how this works."  To which Doug's lawyers replied, "but we have some questions."  The January 6 committee responded by saying, "that's not how this works, we ask the questions, you provide the answers."  At this point, Doug and his lawyers walked out of the deposition rather rapidly.  Do you think Doug has learned how things work?  No way.  He's a spineless MAGA.

Okay, who cut the cheese.

Happy Tuesday morning people!  Now that yesterday's sleepfest is over, I'm raring to go!  Lots of shit planned for for today.
My appointment is set up for my 'consultation' regarding the mole.  June 4, is the soonest I can get in.  They are not too concerned about it, so neither am I.  As time goes on it looks less angry.  Still, I will have them remove it just to be on the safe side.
The gent doing my editing is giving me back pages which need correcting.  Holy Shit!  He is finding so many little... flaws.  He doesn't like my use of the word 'and.'  I, like it.  So, we had a bit of a discussion about my 'style,' and how 'and' helps define my 'style,' and how I like how those three letters join subjects, or phrases, or statements together.  Hence, the 'ands' are staying.
And I understand from AM and Bob that the Idiot Jerk put in an appearance at church this past Sunday.  That's what?  Three times since he's been president?  And I'm not counting that time he sat like a grumpy toad at the Bush funeral.  You know, when everyone looked at him as though he'd just cut the cheese?

Perhaps he went to church because he needed to take a break from his hate-filled Twitter storm.  I found the fact that he brought up the 'dossier' again rather telling.  My guess is that something in it must have been verified.  Even more telling was Megan McCain calling him pathetic.  Maybe she doesn't know that in regards to the Idiot Jerk, 'pathetic' is a minor compliment.
Since they're not going to be doing the 'mole' thing until June, I will be doing my Jury Duty on Monday.  The last time I didn't get picked and was only there for one day.  Hopefully the same thing will happen again this time.  This is Civil, not Criminal.  This means someone is suing someone else because they feel they are owed.  At least, that's what I think. 

Shaving it off

I slept late this morning.
And then I went downstairs and did... nothing.  This is one of those do nothing days.  Later this afternoon I will turn my brisket into something delectable.  No, I don't use cabbage with my corned beef.
The report is back on my little mole.  They call it a papule.  They don't think it's anything I need to worry about, but they want to biopsy it anyway.  That's right.  They're shaving it off.  That's how they put it.  When I called to make an appointment to have it shaved off I was told that the request is still pending and they will most likely give me a call tomorrow.  I have no doubt that they're going to want to shave it off next week, when I'm supposed to have Jury Duty.  Prepping for such an event, I've already sent the Jury Duty contact an email.
Boy, didn't the Idiot Jerk in the White House flip out yesterday over Jeanine Pirro's suspension?  He loves his racists, you know?  He desperately wants the world to know how much he hates Muslims... unless they happen to be Royal and are very, very wealthy.  The New Zealand shooter likes the Idiot Jerk's view of Muslims... though said he's a terrible leader.  Isn't it funny how the White House is trying to put as much distance as possible between the Idiot Jerk's comments and what happened in New Zealand, while at the same time defending Pirro's anti-Muslim rant.... 
My cardio yesterday was super.  How good?  They look at your average heart rate and give you a recovery time.  My recovery time was 22 hours.  The stronger your heart gets, the lower your recovery time.  That's why it's called Cardio.

Soulless Mike

Friday, my first of 2 days in a row.  Today I'm going to find out who my new boss is, my old boss transferred to Oregon.  He's a 48 year old man who divorced his wife and found himself a chubby 26 year old woman.  He's running as fast as possible from the worst mid-life crisis I've ever seen.  I suspect he will be in denial for many years to come.
I saw my Dr. yesterday about a small mole, it looks a bit odd.  He poked around for a couple of seconds and decided they should take pictures.  This is how it works these days.  They take pictures and email them to a dermatologist in Pittsburgh.  Mr Dr. told me that if they think it looks suspicious, they'll have it shaved off.  No big deal.  Both of my parents had to have moles removed.  It's called genetics.
The Prime Minister of Ireland, Leo Varadkar and his partner had breakfast with the Crazy Christian Mike Pence.  You know?  The the small man who thinks his beliefs give him the authority to hate?  Now, when I say small, I mean in stature and not his tiny, dirty little soul.  Don't believe me?  Take a look at this picture.

Oh, wait, it seems that Leo is 6' 4", so maybe I am talking about his dirty, little soul.  You'll notice everybody else seems to have eyes, except for Mike.  He only seems to have eye holes, which makes him look rather soulless. Like that's any surprise.
And something terrible happened down in New Zealand.  A lot of human beings were murdered.  The police have the shooter in custody.  He's described as a 'white male' with blond hair.  Should have expected that.  He published some sort of manifesto in which he ranted his terroristic, anti-immigration views.   Oh, and he's not from New Zealand, he's from Australia.  This is a tragedy for so many Muslim families.  I suspect this is the kind of hatred soulless Mike Pence might tolerate.  He needs to lose his job and be exiled.
