Well, it's Saturday and I don't have to work, and it's truly weird. The temps are predicted to climb up into the low 40s (F), which means Howie's backyard presents are going to thaw, and yard work will need to be done. And the temps? They're going to continue climbing until they hit the mid 50s (F) by Wednesday. Then, as we should all expect, they're going to sink back down into the more seasonable 40s (F).
Yesterday was a good day. The big aquarium was cleaned, the old filter was thrown out, and the new filter installed. More work will be needed until it's ready, but that's okay. Yesterday was a very good start. I am concerned that the heater might be going, so I hung a small thermometer on the side so I can get a decent temp reading. For some odd reason, I don't seem to have a lot of luck with heaters as they need to be replaced every year or so. I also threw out a UV filter which was supposed to help limit algae. It didn't.
I got a nice upper body workout done. That's 3 days in a row and I don't doubt for an instant its the result of spring taking aim at our weather patters. The sun doesn't set until after 6 PM, and the additional hours of daylight are simply invigorating. Once the days are warm enough, I'll be taking Howie up to Adams-Ricci for walks. Being the bundle of energy he is, that should be exciting.
Dinner was a stuffed pepper (homemade). In total, 5 were made. 2 will be lunch/dinner tomorrow, and 2 will be lunch/dinner on Monday.
I posted this on Facebook because... well, for the compassionate soul out there it speaks volumes.
Leave it to the Republicans and their king Trump to do this.
ReplyDeleteAll it will do is increase medical costs, as telehealth saves money.
But why save money when you can let costs increase and use that as an excuse to undermine and get rid of Medicare, as Republicans have always hoped for. It’s just like when Nixon expanded welfare programs while cutting back on welfare workers, done in hopes it would create more fraud with no over-site that welfare workers provide, and to undermine welfare programs and be rid of them.

I love the right getting out, though I do feel a great deal of 'I told you so.'
ReplyDeleteI can only hope all this backstabbing and anger will result in a tide change at the polls come midterms. I made stuffed peppers last week for dinner!
