Conservative Ineptitude

 We had a rather warm night.  The outside temp is a very mild 57 (F).  That doesn't mean our afternoon temps are going to climb into the upper 70s (F).  Nope.  They're going to be stuck in the 60s (F).  There is a Nor'easter plodding up the eastern seaboard which will keep the temps mild.  Rain showers will continue throughout the day and into to tomorrow.  Predictions are for a total accumulation of about an inch of rain.  We need it.  

I did my morning workout yesterday.  It was fine.  This may surprise some of you, but I'm on a 25 day stretch.  This is a good thing.  I think one of the reasons these sessions work is because the routines are varied, also, the fact that they were designed by someone who knows what he's doing, rather than me sitting at my computer picking and choosing exercises I think will be beneficial.  Even the sequence has turned out to be good.   I used to do 3 sets of one exercise and then move onto the next.  Now I complete the entire routine, and then repeat it two more times.  There are even yoga poses in the after workout stretching.  

I did work yesterday and it was slow.  I talked to one customer about ordering blinds and then he decided to buy out stock blinds instead.  They were a lot cheaper.  I also talked to a gentleman who believes we sold him more carpet than he needed.  The carpet has already been installed.  If he had a problem, he should have brought it up before he paid for the installation.  I told him that if he wanted, we could send a measure tech out to do a remeasure, but he would have to pay $100 for it.  He said he was going to think about it.

And Christmas has arrived.  In the past, our Christmas displays have had a large selection of trees.  There have been way, way too many inflatable lawn ornaments, and quite a few large indoor ornaments as well, like 6 foot tall, talking and singing Santas.  We have no Santas this year.  We have no large singing elves, or carolers.  And the number of artificial trees on display is small.  Most of this stuff we get from China.

And evidently Dementia Don doesn't remember he was president on January 6.

The chaos is never ending, isn't it?  This is why Conservatives need to be kept completely out of power.  They live for the words, "shut up, we're in charge," but whenever they are, they are constantly showing the world their incompetence.  Take those 4000 people Russell, the Idiot Vought, joyously bragged about terminating.  Well, they're hiring many of them back because their jobs are essential.  Conservative ineptitude is astounding, so much so, I'm wondering if they all might have dementia.

  

The Conservative Aberration

 The temp was 49 (F) when I got up this morning.  Right now my thermostat is registering the temp inside the house at 68 (F).  This means I'm wearing sweatpants and a sweat shirt.  It's still a little too early to turn on the heat, but I figure that day is fast approaching.  As long as the daytime highs are in the mid to upper 70s (F) that will be fine.  Once it gets too chilly willy the heat will be turned on.

So, while much was accomplished on Tuesday, yesterday turned out to be a not-so-productive Wednesday.  Only one load of laundry.  I did get over 1000 words written.  That was nice.  Research for this book has not only led me into the world of feng shui, but also caused me to make a small foray into contracts within the music industry.  It seems as though everyone wants as much credit as they can legally get because that translates into royalty payments.  Take the lawsuit regarding the song Every Breath You Take by The Police.  Both Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers feel they are owed money for their contributions to that famous song and so they are taking Sting to court.  If you want a good chuckle at pettiness, take a look at this lawsuit.

And the orange retailer I work for has decided that I'm going to start working Thursday afternoons, at least for the next few weeks.  This meant changing my workout schedule since normally I get my cardio by riding my bike on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.  So now we're changing that up and I'm doing my cardio on Tuesdays and Fridays, with a break on Thursday and strength on Saturday morning.

So the laundry I did yesterday was bed sheets.  Since Howie sleeps on the bed, I have it covered with his "special" sheet.  Yesterday it fell out of the dryer and he thought we'd have a nice game of chase and grab.

And so the shut down continues into day 2.  So, how is it going for the Republicans?  Not good.  How do I know this?  The Washington Post, which is owned by Orangie's crony Jeff Bezos, lead headline was "Most Americans Blame Republicans."  The Washington Post as been at the forefront of sane washing everything Orangie does, so this headline is horrible for the GOP; no one is being kind to them.

Orangie is meeting with Russel Vought, the architect of Project 2025 to discuss what Democratic jobs to cut.  This, in itself, show just how out of touch Conservatives are with the American people.  They are simply refusing to read the room.  The truth is that Conservatives don't care.  They are a group of people who only love power and control.  Taking that away from them is the only thing they will understand.  Keep in mind, understanding for them does not include learning a lesson, in fact, if anything punishment for their atrocities only makes them more determined.  This means normal humans will have to deal with this conservative aberration every few generations in order to keep them in check.
