Natalie Harp

We have a very comfortable 71 (F) outside, the humidity is down, and the day is supposed to be nice.  No rain.  Yesterday?  We didn't have rain, however the high temp which supposed to be in the mid 80s (F) climbed into the low 90s (F) and the dew point was high.  We have a little over a month until Autumn arrives and I'm wondering when the days are going to begin cooling off.

I worked yesterday and foot traffic was light.  The other flooring specialist said, "damn, this is worse than Sunday."  I did have a $1200 sale go through, so that'll keep management happy.  Neither of us got a measure, though.  Last week our department was 9th out of 10 departments.  Sales are not good. In fact, sales for the store were not good.  Corporate is happy if you miss your plan by a little; sales plans are always budgeted higher than the actual forecast.  My store missed plan by more than a little.  Halloween sales will give us a boost, we just have to wait and see if the boost is slight, or substantial.

We've updated my workouts, adding in a few mobility exercises since I'm beginning to get a bit creaky; that comes with age.  In about 10 days I'm going to be putting Trainwell on pause for 3 months.  I did this before and things worked out well, though this time I'm thinking of ending the subscription sometime during the pause.  I'd cancel now, but I'm still sitting on the iffy fence.

For those who don't follow me on other social media platforms, Howie's birthday chicken came to an untimely demise.

Thanks to John Ossoff, America now knows about Natalie Harp and, thanks to social media, we now know that Natalie is Orangie's human binky.  For those who don't know, this is a binky.

And Ossoff hit a very tender nerve with his comment because Republican, after Republican, after Republican both attacked him and protected Ms. Harp.  So much so, many are now thinking that he tapped into a much bigger scandal than Orangie flying around with his diaper changer.  Does Harpy do more than just clean Orangie's 80 year-old anus?  Sorry, those thoughts are simply disgusting.  

Anyway there are those who believe that Orangie is following his blow bro Vlad's orders as he slowly destroys America.  I don't know if that's quite true.  I'm inclined to believe that Vlad simply said to Orangie  "You have a history of being a great businessman, so just be yourself."  Why do I think this?  Because Vlad has not only been giving Iran the coordinates for our military bases, he's also been shipping them weapons.  He doesn't need to give the Orange Anus any orders, since Orangie epitomizes failure and destruction.

North Korea is the Enemy

Well, here it is, Monday morning and we have humidity.  While the forecast doesn't call for a repeat of yesterday's weather, the 85% chance of rain means we're going to get close.  We had long periods of soaking rain yesterday.  Thunderstorms were supposed to arrive later in the evening.  They never showed up, however the soaking rains continued through the night.  My prediction for today is that it's going to be drab... very drab.

Because I had some ham hocks that needed to be used, I made bean soup yesterday.  I threw in some rice as a thickener, so I ended up with something more akin to bean stew.  On cool, rainy days, stews are good.  

Mostly what I did yesterday was work on The Body in the Words.  I've been doing a lot of research on wellness clinics and the courses they offer for public consumption.  There are those which teach the more traditional aspects of wellness, such as hearth health, and mobility, and nutrition.  Than there are those which focus on more trendy subjects like vaginal wellness, sperm maxing, and parasite cleansing.  As for those instructing these classes?  Some of them are certified in other fields and then discover that talking about... oh, say vaginal wellness, will earn them a bigger paycheck.  And then there are those with no credentials, who con you into thinking your an expert.  These people say a lot of words that, if they're not careful, could get someone killed.

Then I played some Balder's Gate 3.  This 2nd playthrough is so much better because I'm now much more familiar with the game's mechanics.  While casting spells can be great, sometimes you also need simple brute force.

When I'm playing a video game, I never pay attention  to social media because I'm having too much fun, so I do a quick catchup before I go to bed.  Of course, this humdinger was the first thing to catch my eye.

Is there anyone reading this who doesn't know that Kim Jung Bung is a Communist dictator fascist?  A day doesn't happen when I don't wonder what the Orange Anus is going to do that is worse than what he's already done.  Have we hit the bottom of the barrel yet?  Just a little reminder, he's always been fascinated by authoritarian dictators.  I don't doubt that in his mind dictators are the ultimate in CEOs.  He sees them as have absolutely no accountability.  And a communist dictator would own every company in the country.  This is what Orangie has been dreaming about for years.  And Republicans, instead of saying "enough is enough," are staying silent.  Their dream has always been to have total control over the country.  They have no idea what that dream is going to cost them, but then they have always been non-thinkers.
