Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

 Our temp is sitting at 47 (F).  It's not going to change much during the course of the day.  A thunderstorm went through the area last night, and temps didn't drop much.  The wind, and we do have wind, is make it seem much cooler outside. o\Our overnight low will be down around 30 (F).  Tomorrow it should be a little warmer, but we should have lots of sunshine for all of those Central Pa marchers.  We are also headed into another warming trend.  Next week our temps will once again be in the upper 70s (F).

I did work yesterday.  I sold some cellular shades to a couple form Tennessee who have homes up here and down there.  They were very pleased.  She gave me a hug.  That was really odd.  They selected shades from our Home Decorator's Collection.  The choice of colors is limited.  So they should be made and shipped shortly, which is good since they're leaving for Tennessee on the 16 of April.

For some odd reason I thought the discomfort from having molar 31 extracted would be minimal.  This is not the case.  I've done some research this morning, and I'm at the stage where the swelling will start decreasing.  It looks like I've got another 3 to 4 days of taking naproxen.  I have reached the point where I need to eat just pudding, scrambled eggs, and over cooked pasta.  This is good because I'm having lunch with friends this afternoon.

Here's a profile picture of Howie I took while he was sitting on my lap, and yes, he does, on occasion, sit on my lap.


And Orangie's not only going to have his face on gold coins, his signature is also going to be on paper money as well.  This has never been done, since this is what countries do when they want to celebrate their king.  We should have expected this.  Republicans have wanted to lionize a sitting president ever since Reagan.  This has nothing what so ever to do with whether he is a good individual, but everything to do with being able to say "shut up! we're in charge!"

And  not only did Orangie cave on Iran yesterday, he also cave on funding DHS in order for TSA agents to get paid.  Funding for ICE has been removed from the legislation and will be dealt with separately.  He said he'll sign it.  The Senate has approved it.  Now all we're waiting for is the House of Representatives to break as well.

I'm hearing whispers that it's the Saudi government who is really pushing the war.  They want to reset the middle east in their favor.  However, it seems as they want to do this with American lives, rather than Saudi.  They have been playing Orangie since day one.  They will continue to play him, and he is too stupid to understand this.

Day 3

Well, we have a warm day ahead of us.  Our high temp for this afternoon should be in the low to mid 70s (F).  Overnight another cold front is going to move through the area which will lead to cooler temps tomorrow.  Rain will move into the area as well.  This is fine.  We are in Spring.  

And yesterday was either good or just meh depending upon the time of day.  Exercise is still out of the picture because of the extraction.  So I pretty much lazed through the day, doing laundry and other small chores.  Regarding the laundry, I've moved the drying rack from the laundry room into the bathroom because there's a heating vent there.  This is a good thing in that clothes dry faster, however, it's also a bit of a nuisance thing in that Howie now has an assortment of different clothing to turn into toys.  One of his favorite games is sock chase, followed closely by T-shirt chase.  The only option I have is to keep the bathroom door shut.  

Today is the 3rd day since the extraction of tooth 31.  My jaw was achy.  I did a search to see how long this minor discomfort was going to last and was surprised to see that day 3 is usually the worst.  Day 3 is when the swelling is at its peak.  Hhhmmm.  Interesting.  The biggest problem I'm having is not the discomfort, it the loose thread from the stitches.  It feels as if there's a piece of food floating around near the socket and I keep want to move it, and probe it with my tongue.  I find it amusing that the biggest problem I'm having is with a 1/4 inch piece of thread.

The Body in 4:4 Time is finished.  It's getting sent to the first of my editors this morning.  Now the fun begins.

There's a No Kings march/rally this Saturday.  I'm sure numbers will easily be in the millions. 


So, evidently Pamie Jo Bondi released information regarding Jack Smith's investigation of Orangie's theft of Secret Documents... accidentally, of course.  We now know the reason he stole them: to sell them for his own personal gain.  When I saw that, my first thought was "no shit, Sherlock."  Why would anyone have thought otherwise?  This loser lives for self-lenrichment.  He has loyalty to only one person, himself.  His corrution has no bounds.  There's a reason many call him Don the Con.  The only thing he finds sacred is his own bank account.

These marches are not going to go over well with the GOP.  Anything that rattles their land of delusion is bad.  The good thing is that so many of them have such short term memory problems these marches will be forgotten, by most, by Monday.  Of course, by Monday Kegbreath may have started a ground invasion in Iraq.  As I've said before, the country has reached an invection point.  There will be no stopping what happens to this administration and the Republican Party.
