Oh... Shit

Temps are on the rise here in Central PA.  Our high this afternoon is predicted to hit the 40 (F) mark, and by Thursday, we should be in the upper 50s (F).  The big question is just how cold will we get once this warming trend ends.  Long range forecasts have us back down in the upper 30s (F).  I'd say that's likely.  I'm really supper happy as long as we don't have to deal with any subzero days.

And yesterday, being Sunday, I worked the entire day not selling carpet or flooring installations.  Oh, I was on the clock, but foot traffic was light.  Corporate has seen fit to adjust our fiscal plan down.  There is no way the store is ever going to be make up the 6 figure deficit we have accumulated since January of last year.  We did have customers wandering through the department, but every one of the said they were just looking.

This up coming week will be interesting since I'm not scheduled again until next Saturday.  There are things I would like to do, but they will cost money and now is not the time that I want to spend my hard earned dollars.  We are entering a time of savings.  Being a spendthrift right now is not part of the plan.

I'm going to try cooking up something new today with chorizo. If it looks good, I'll post pics tomorrow.

The Venezuelan shit show continues.  The Orange Asshole with dementia who, at this point, is most likely nothing more than a puppet of those around him like Stevie Miller, is going to take this country into war again.  The Vice President of Venezuela, who has been sworn in as president, has come out against the occupation by the United States.  Oh... Shit.  Orangie says he has no problem sending in troops who will have to deal with a jungle environment, just like in Vietnam.  Oh... Shit.  One of the big problems is that Conservatives have this inherent belief that all they have to do is say, "Shut up!  We're in charge!" and everybody will do what they want.  And that ain't gonna happen in Venezuela.  And he's threatening more air strikes and all that is going to do is piss the Venezuelans off even more.  The people of that country may have hated Maduro, but they sure as hell don't want the Orange Asshole handing their oil reserves over to Big Oil Billionaires, who are unified in their conservative stupidity.
