When you hit middle age you really only have two choices: you can get fat and lazy until you roll over and die, or you can can get off your ass and do something, like maybe ride a bike.
Bluntness
I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.
So, here it is Thursday and I get to go back to work for a full day. The weather forecast is for a high around 70 (F), but rain is also in the forecast. The freezing rain forecasters predicted for yesterday never put in an appearance. We had about 2 minutes of drizzle, and then around noon the sun started poking through the clouds. There was freezing rain in the state, just not where I live.
Yesterday, I made lasagna. This is so delicious. The funny thing was, standing by the kitchen counter holding a box of lasagna noodles, I realized I could have made my own. I have a pasta maker. True, making the noodles would take a little longer, but then you don't have to boil them until they're andante. I ended up freezing quite a bit. Here's a piece on the foil waiting to be wrapped.
And one of those not too surprising headlines a major study has proven ivermectin doesn't work... at all. One of the words describing this treatment for parasites was 'useless.' With this in mind, I'd like to take a moment to thank Joe Rogan for helping kill off a number of Republican voters... which, if you think about it, proves that ivermectin wasn't entirely useless.
Evidently Will Smith was asked to leave the Oscar ceremony after the SLAP, and refused. And now pictures have surfaced of him singing and dancing to his own music at an 'after Oscar party.' It's almost like he's writing a book called "How To Make Yourself Look Like A Flaming Asshole."
And Joe McCarthy and Steve Scalise had a chat with Madison Cawthorn about his saying older Republicans do lines of Coke and have orgies. Sounds like they're trying to put make-up on a pig.
Finally, there is so much buzz about Loser #45 asking the Russians for assistance, (he wants dirt on Biden), and them call him their 'partner.' The Orange Anus is growing terribly desperate. His rally in Georgia was... not well attended. He's planning another one in Michigan in an area where the roads are intended for low volume, residential traffic (meaning a traffic jam from Hell). America now knows there are 7 hours of missing phone logs from January 6, which means he and his staff weren't just using burner phones. In less than 3 weeks he needs to testify before a Grand Jury. And, all of this demonstrates his stupidity, because he thinks dirt on Biden is the answer.
Okay, the crappy weather that was predicted to start somewhere around 0600 has still not arrived, though I will admit the we did have a very red sky this morning. Originally freezing rain was supposed to occur between 6 AM and 2 PM. Those hours have been reduced to 8 AM to 9 AM.
Yesterday I picked up Biggie's prescription at the Vets. $29 for a month of gabapentin. This morning I will check out the cost on PetMeds. Chewy's pharmacy doesn't carry the drug.
I'm also making lasagna today. I will make the sauce sometime this morning, and then assemble and bake it this afternoon in time for dinner.
Oh, and I went to see The Lost City last evening. For those who don't know, it's a Rom-Com made for white women. There is some minority casting, but basically this is a vehicle for an aging Sandra Bullock to get her name on a marquee. There were a lot of women in the theater. Don't get me wrong, I found it very entertaining at times. Channing Tatum does take his shirt off a lot, as well as his pants in one very nice, long scene. A furry Daniel Radcliffe is a decent villain. Essentially, this is the story of a romance novelist grieving for her dead husband, though, being the cynical type that I am, I felt I was watching a film about Bullock grieving for genre she, as an actress, needs to bury.
I saw where the Orange Anus asked his blow bro Vlad Putin for help. He wants dirt on Biden. That's right, Loser #45 is asking pure evil for help. And centrist Republicans are hitting themselves on the side of their heads saying "holy shit." This is sadly funny because those of us with brains knew this was where things were going. Sorry, but isn't that treason? Turning to an enemy for help? I understand the attendance at his Georgia rally was underwhelming... and that's putting it mildly. The law is closing in and he's getting desperate. And I'm sure his blow bro is no doubt sitting back, shaking his head sadly, whispering to himself, "I told him, if in doubt, use poison."
