Bluntness

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

Digging Holes

So, we'll be seeing the sun for a bit today, but then for the next week that golden globe will vanish, hiding behind a cloud.  Forecasters are saying that there are also going to be torrential rains hiding in that same cover.  Temps will barely make it into the 70s (F).  This means that Autumn has arrived.  

Yesterday was another feeling under the weather cold day.  I was taking Sudafed until I got to wondering just how long the med stayed in my system.  Well, Sudafed cause the tiny blood vessels in your nose to tighten, which why your drainage stops.  Unfortunately, it causes other blood vessels around your body to tighten, too, and is not recommended for people with hypertension (high blood pressure.)  Just as I'm  borderline glaucomic, and borderline diabetic, I'm also borderline hypertensive, so I stopped taking the Sudafed.   Lucky for me I've had this silly rhinitis for a week, they symptoms have pretty much run their course.  All I have right now is the occasional dry cough, which is good since I work this afternoon.

So most of yesterday I was napping on and off throughout the day.  Though I've been getting a lot of sleep, I don't feeling rested, so when I finish this, I'm going to go upstairs and take another nape before I go to work.

Here's another thing that Petey Hegseth needs to work on in the Accountability chapter in his skill book.


Believe me, nothing should surprise you/us by now.  Two meritorious bronze stars does not mean competence.  Petey's also shrieking that reports of a higher number of casualties for Orangie's war with Iran are much higher than either he or Orangie will admit.  He's shrieking "fake new, fake news."  Tell, me where have we heard those words before?  Except for the cultists, by now most Americans know that when they hear those words, they're lies.  

And more Main Stream Media members have been banned from the Oval Office because they're nothing but "fake news."  Banning them is not going to stop questions from being asked.  In fact, banning them will make people believe things are even worse than they already are.  These people don't understand that they're digging a hole for themselves, and the deeper they dig, the deeper they're going to be buried.

The Cold, the Chili, and the Midterms.

The temp on my inside thermostat is 76 (F), outside the temp is 71 (F), go figure.  One forecast for this afternoon has our temp in the low 80s (F), while another has our high in mid 70s (F).  That's another go figure.  Next Wednesday, if the forecasters happen to be correct, our afternoon high will be 58 (F).  That'll be a chilly day.

And I did take off yesterday because of "the cold."  The plan was to sleep away the afternoon.  Well, that sort of happened.  I have a dog who thinks that whenever I'm home, it's play time.  You have no idea how many times we played fetch with his pink pig.  I am surprised that my sides are sore from coughing, or maybe they're sore from sneezing.  Anyway, the Sudafed is good at keeping my passage clear and the coughing/sneezing to a minimum.  After I finish this, I'm going to take one and then take a nap.

I'm scheduled to have lunch today with one of my editors.  Wish me luck.

My neighbors were arguing loudly about their car this morning.  They had 2, but 1 went into the shop about a month ago, so for her to have a car she needs to drive him almost an hour to work, and then pick him up when his shift is done.   Neither is happy about this.  Making the situation worse, occasionally someone will park a small, Chevy in front of their house.  She hates  this.  I don't think she understands that she doesn't own the street.  Several times she's parked so close to the Chevy it looked like their bumpers were touching, she's going to be a bitch about this.

And I made chili with vegetables from my garden!   Tasty!!


I understand Orangie's mad at the South Koreans because they're refusing to send troop to help us in Middle East.  This happens when you shit on allies.  Honestly, we always knew he wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, but saying he is dim doesn't quite drive home the point.  He is politically inept. 

So, a judge said the administration needs to provide him with a notice in writing at least 30 days before Orangie starts demolishing the Kennedy Center.  The problem with that is our loser in Chief is just going to ignore that, because that's what he always does.

Finally, I have to chuckle every time I hear Mikey Johnson, or someone else of his ilk, saying that if the Democrats get in power Impeachment will be the word of the day for the next 2 years.  He simply doesn't understand that at this point in time, 3/4 of the American people want more than impeachments.
