I wish Gallant were still President rather than Goofus

Goofus is President Now

I suppose I should write something today since I only wrote once last week. I start now with no idea of what I will write about. I suppose Hurricane Harvey is the big news of the day and week and, soon, month and then, probably, the year. President Goofus has still not been down to Texas though there is talk that he will go there tomorrow. That talk does not come from 45 himself or The White House but The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said Austin and Corpus Christi Texas has restricted air space tomorrow due to "VIP movement." I am not sure if VIP stands for Very Ignorant President or Very Irritating Person. 45 is supposed to speak about the disaster for the first time this afternoon. Maybe, while he is down there he can go over the Mexico to see how that border wall is coming. Officially, I am sending my condolences and support to the people living a Hellish time right now in Texas and Louisiana before the leader of their own country sends his. Shameful! If 44 was still President (Gallant instead of Goofus) he would have been down there several days ago.

My mom is still not doing very well. She had a few incidents at the place she was staying and they had to send her back to Mercy Center. Presumably, she will get out of there today and go back to Winfield but, as my dad told me, she had a few problems yesterday so we are still waiting to hear what the next step(s) are going to be. I envy her a bit that she is not even aware of what is going on with our country right now. I am trying to ignore it more and more and it is helping some. I will be right back - the dryer is singing that the clothes are dry and it is time to: take the dry ones out, move the ones from the washer over, start another washing load and fold the dry ones.

While I am writing this the 1990 film Presumed Innocent is playing on HBO (does that still stand for Home Box Office?) It is so funny to see how many people who would, eventually, be on The West Wing are in this movie. Well, it is only three (John Spencer/Leo McGarry, Bradley Whitford/Josh Lyman and Jesse Bradford/Ryan Pierce) but seems like more when you see them in the movie. I loved The West Wing. While I am on television and HBO the season finale of Game of Thrones (GOT for we uncool kids) was on last night. Man, a lot happened. It seemed like the series was getting slow and then they had to wrap-up the season and throw a bunch in there. There were a lot of cliff-hangerish things that happened but nobody knows when the final season (season eight). Nobody seems to know when season eight is going to begin. There are talks that there are only going to be six episodes in the final season but a few of them may be two hours long or so. The hubbub is that the final season will probably not be hear until late 2018 or sometime in 2019. I imagine there will be a few marathons between now and then. After we watched GOT last night I went to bed and Cha Cha watched it again. She is way more into it than I am. I would probably be more into it if I could remember everything like the old days.

The best thing about not remembering things as well as I used to is that I really don't hold any grudges. I have learned to let the little and MIDDLE things go so I can have room to remember the important and nice things. It is odd how my memories of things from longer ago are still very sharp and my things of more current things are good but it is the MIDDLE time that I seem to have the most problems with.

It felt kind of like this only not as much fun

It is now 15:50 and I ran a few errands. I went to the bank and made a deposit - some of what was the change from the change jar in the kitchen. I took it out of the jar and put it in a Ziplock sandwich bag. I got to the bank and got out of the car and as I started walking to the bank the change poured out onto the parking lot. So, I got down on my knees and picked much of $72.66 worth of change and put it back into the bag. Luckily, there was a lady from the bank outside watering the flowers and she went in and got a broom and swept a lot of the money near me so I wouldn't look like a 5-year-old on Easter morning. Happily, I was there during off-busy hours as only one car drove into the lot right as I was done picking-up the treasure. I am not going to blame the Ziplock company and, as I look now, these were generic bags so maybe I should learn that lesson too. After that I went to get the oil changed on the Fiat. I change oil on the vehicles, for the most part, but that little critter is a pain since it is so small and low to the ground. I also filled the fuel tank for Cha Cha so she's raring to go tomorrow. She took the JEEP to work today. I also stopped by Target for a few things. I always think red when I think of Target.

Okay, I am done and have to get some more laundry done. Thanks a lot for letting me blather-on. I am going to try very diligently to blog again tomorrow. I always have those intentions but life just takes charge sometimes. TTTT...MITM (out) TA!

Blogger Eclipse

 Here is a photo of the moon shadow so please save your eyes 

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday but Cha Cha and I were in Chicago all day and didn't get back home to the cornfields until late. Game of Thrones had already begun but that is what the DVR (digtal video recorder) is for, I suppose.

I worked-out already this morning and then I mowed the backyard while it rained lightly. Today is supposed to be the supermoon solar eclipse but the overcast sky may hide it from people in this area? From what I have seen on CNN and TWC (The Weather Channel) that most schools in America seem to be closed for this. Cha Cha and I had entertained going to Carbondale (where we went to college) because that is, supposedly, going to be the best place in the world to see the eclipse. I had heard about how difficult it is to get places to stay and that the entire region will run out of gasoline and, if you can find some, it will be marked-way up in price. Splenda and Andy were planning to go there too (as they also went to college there. I feel like I need to play THIS SONG (Moon Shadow by Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam/Steven Demetre Georgiou) right now. I also heard about all of the crimes (thefts...) that happened in Chicago during the Lollapalooza music festival and I can always doing without having my things stolen or having to fight someone. It sure makes sense that the sun would want to hide while we have a buffoon ruling the Unites States of America. I would not be surprised if it did not come out of hiding.

Yesterday Cha Cha and I went to Chicago for what I was told, was meditation. We also knew that is was something that they were going to try to sell us. We went to the city and met Splenda and Andy at a cute place called The Flower Flat for breakfast/brunch. The place was very quaint and nice. I could see that it was, formerly, a flower store (which is probably where the name of the place originated). There was one of those stand-up coolers that you see at florist shops and supermarkets where they keep the cut flowers fresh. The food was great but the service was slow. My iced tea took awhile to arrive because they "had to wait for the the ice to be made." It was a great time. Now that we have an empty house maybe we should turn our house into a bed-and-breakfast. We have three vacant rooms now and a basement big enough to make three or four more bedrooms and we could even turn the dining room and the Tiki Room into bedrooms though they may be better as a sun room and a dining area. I wonder how the Home Owners' Association would appreciate that?

We spent a lot of time at The Kit Kat Lounge and Supper Club in Wrigleyville. What a great, fun place. Great drinks before our meditation deal and Cha Cha and I went back for dinner after the seminarish deal. I like the entire neighborhood that the lounge is in. We also went to the Whole Foods across the street. I wish we had a Whole Foods out here.

Jill and I had been going to Woodstock, Illinois for meditation at The Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple and Meditation Center every week until I had to start working every Saturday. We still both meditate regularly and it has helped me, many times, with my health. This thing we went to was about Transcendental Meditation. It sounded great and Cha Cha and I both waited for the second shoe to drop because it was obvious that the whole spiel was an Ovaltine commercial. I am very happy we went because we had a really nice day (because of this sales pitch) but we did not fall for the sell. I did learn things that I will use in the meditation that I already practice. I think I am, pretty much, a hippy.

I have the blinds closed so I don't even know what is going on with the sun. I really don't even care to be honest with you.

Fabio and I are going to the Kane County Cougars' game tonight. They are playing the Burlington Bees. I got the tickets free from work along with $30 in Cougars Cash (or whatever they call it) for souvenirs or food or whatever. We do have to pay $5 for parking but that is not big deal. If they have a rain-out or something maybe we can get tickets for a Peoria Chiefs game and wear our Cardinals' stuff since they are the MLB affiliate for the Chiefs. I will probably wear Cardinals' stuff tonight anyway.

It is 13:08 now and I am pretty hungry. I may run over to Schnuck's and get some chicken salad. I have talked myself in to ending now and going to the grocery store. I hope you have a nice end of the world day as it would probably be known as during ancient times when the sun disappears.I guess I will have to put some pants on for that won't I? Thanks for stopping by. Let me know if you will be at Northwestern Medicine Field tonight and I will buy you a beer. Everything in this every is called Northwestern Medicine something these day. TTTT (or tonight)...MITM (out) TA!

Expanding My Horizons and Opening My Mind

It is 07:14 and I am watching Fox & Friends on the Fox News Channel (FNC). I figured, since some call the channel that I usually watch Cable News Network (CNN) "fake news," I would watch the other main news channel's morning show and see what they have to say. I believe that CNN is fair and balanced for the most part and, as I feel so far, it seems like FNC is fair and balanced as well. I was a news editor for a newspaper and I have written news for several newspapers over the years so I am big on "fair and balanced." I realize that I have only watched this show for a short time but it seems to be not that dissimilar to what I usually watch. If Elisabeth Hasselbeck, shows up, however, I will change the channel immediately. They are talking to people in a cafe in Alabama now so I think I have done my time for today and will change the channel to HBO or something - baby steps! I will not let anybody, including the leaders of the free world, make me abandon my: opinions, viewpoints, sensitivities, values, loves, curiosities, caring or knowing what is right and wrong.

I have heard that statues and monuments of Confederate leaders and such in southern states are being vandalized and demolished by angry people. I do not condone that kind of behavior on any side. Tearing down statues of people the like of: Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, P.G.T. Beauregard... will not help anything. It will, in all likelihood, just throw more fuel on the fire of the current violence and hatred in our country. Most of what is happening,however, is merely vigilantism and vandalism and gives more evidence, hopefully wrongfully, that the left and the right are not that dissimilar.  Of course I think slavery in our country is one of the most embarrassing times in the history of our country. I would say "in the world" but the best-seller, The Holy Bible, tells people of stories of much worse atrocities than what we are seeing today. They did not tear down statues of the Roman leaders and gladiators at The Colosseum during their heyday and their entire society was built by their slaves as well. We need to remember our histories so we can continue to be reminded that we do not want to repeat this kind of behavior and atmosphere and these atrocities. Non-violent discourse is important though; I have learned many things that I had not considered and that needs to continue.

I would have taken the pic when the light was green

Most people believe that what they do/are doing are the right and proper things and there is probably someone, somewhere, that believes what you are doing and what I am doing is wrong so we can only just do what we feel and believe is right and move forward. I will make mistakes and you will make mistakes but that is part of the ride. I try to learn from my mistakes though I do repeat many of them on a regular basis.

Yesterday I put a rowing machine together to add to our very crowded gym in the basement. I need to workout today because I did not yesterday unless you count putting a rowing machine together - which I do not.

I just learned something and have to make a retraction of what I wrote about a few paragraphs ago. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is no longer on Fox News. I guess she left shortly after the Sandy Hook shooting. See what I mean about "always learning?"

I just went to start a load of laundry and, guess what? We are out of laundry detergent. Guess what else? We are out of fabric softener? Guess what else else? I will have to go get some because I don't want to be the stinky guy at work tomorrow. I need to figure out something for dinner too so I may as well get both things at the same time.

I am too distracted to continue writing now so I will end. I hope you have a wonderful day; I am going to try to do the same. It is already starting-out better than yesterday did. Most likely. I will write again on Sunday. Sometimes I surprise myself and write when I do not expect to but, if that happens, I will let you know. TTTLater...MITM (out) TA!

Some Days You Just Can't Get Rid of a Bomb!

My issue is not Epilepsy but that is a good representation of auras 

I am not having a very good day already and it is only 09:00 (on my MIDDLE weekend day). I have felt odd off-and-on all though the night. I am going to start calling my health issues / auras "Boomtown Rats Syndrome" (BRS) because of this song. I am not trying to belittle what shameful things are currently happening in our country but I am quite embarrassed as a transplanted/born (yes, that is possible) American citizen. The United States of America has had our unfair share of embarrassing incidents in our, comparatively, short history. I wonder if not liking Mondays is just ingrained in us as that is normally the days we go back to school and/or work after our weekends? I should love Mondays, and I usually do, but not for these past two weeks or so. I think I may even wait to mow the lawn until tomorrow unless things, hopefully, turn-around.  I am lying in bed now as my: feet, legs and arms are tingling like they are falling asleep. My face is starting to feel hot and tingly like it is falling asleep also. I am not trying to be dramatic or alarming but I like to write these things, if I happen to be blogging at the time, so, if some medical people ask me about "the last time you had an aura" later I will have someplace to go to reference. Maybe I should carry an "aura journal" too. I have never slept well and I believe that is a large part of my issues. Even sleep-aids don't usually work that well for me. I must have been a terrible person in a past-life. I took a codeine pill the other night and that helped a great deal. I only have two of those left so I have to economize those. Aura has passed.


I am going to feel like a slug if I just lie around all day. I will probably try to workout later and, maybe, mow the lawn just in case it rains tomorrow.

Right now there is a show on HBO, playing on he bedroom television here, called Starring Adam West. I always loved Batman as a kid. He (Adam West) had some real issues during his life but he seems like a pretty nice guy and kind of normal now. I think many people in the Hollyweird scene have some baggage and are a bit different and eccentric. Perhaps those eccentricities help them survive and cope with the lives that they have to live? Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!

I am having another aura (stomach weirdness, legs tingling, arms falling asleep, head getting hot, chest tightening...) again. I seem to have issues when I try to remember things from the past. As opposed to remembering things from the future - LOL. After I am done writing this I think I am going to try to sleep again. Sleep has always been a challenge for me. I feel like I am writing the same things over-and-over here lately. I feel like I am writing the same things over-and-over here lately. I feel like I am writing the same things over-and-over here lately. I am so glad I am off of work again tomorrow. I am tried of whining and wallowing for today.

What a great cast!

I will be back in a moment; I have to am going to start a load of laundry. The Royal Tenenbaums is on now (Adam West is over) and Gene Hackman just asked the doctor if seizures were " like flopping around on the floor..." Again, everything is about me. I think memories and recall are the main problems and cause of my auras. I should just stop remembering things and everything would work it's way out. I don't want to forget things because memories are really important to me. I think about you (yes, YOU) specifically on-and-off all of the time and that is worth any auras to me.

I have a doctor's appointment on 9-11 (seems fitting) and I have been keeping a list of things to discuss with him. He doesn't seem to really give a hoot about me but I cannot prescribe my own medications. Plus, how is he going to keep getting the best, new golf clubs without my insurance money? Have a great day. I am going to try to do that too. If I don't blog again tomorrow that means I am dead and a tree will be growing from my ashes. TTTT (if there is a tomorrow)...MITM (out) TA!

Happy to be Stuck in the MIDDLE

Not Until You Moved in

I heard this song on the radio yesterday and have not played it (MY THEME SONG) here for quite awhile. Click that link to hear it now.

Happy Sunday morning! My weekend has begun; it began yesterday at 1600 in actuality. 1600 makes me think about the turmoil that our country is headed for and why I thought I had better write before we are all dead. I am not sure why I know that the address to The White House is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue but that seems like something that was drilled into my generation's minds when we were learning government-related things in school. Our world is in turmoil and, in my mind, it can only lead back to one person (well, one administration anyway). The bigotry that has erupted over the last 24 hours saddens me greatly. My generation was brought-up to respect everyone's differences with caring and understanding and, to see our "leader" allow terrible things to happen without a scathing proclamation against this form of hatred and violence baffles me. All while trying to provoke another country into launching a world war. It reminds me of the game of chicken when I was young. The chicken (since there are so many variations) where you would take a pocket knife and and stand barefoot across from another person with your legs spread and then would take turns throwing the knife between each other's feet. Wherever the knife would stick you'd have to move one foot to where the knife landed. Then you would alternate turns until someone would move their foot. I never moved. I wasn't very bright or I was too competitive as a youngster. I am not sure which is the case with our Cuckoo in Chief. Happily, I outgrew my malady but, I am afraid, DOPEUS POTUS will not learn until we all pay dearly.

Yesterday was Cha Cha's birthday. We went out to eat with Fabio and Jill's brother Tom and his wife (our sister-in-law) Kara for dinner. We then came back here and played Bid Eucker (not to be confused with Bob Uecker). Of course, since it was Jill's birthday Kara and I let Jill and Tom win. I hadn't played that game in a long time and I was happy to play it again. While we played we listened to the St. Louis Cardinals' game. The Cards (baseball team not the ones in our hands) won and St. Louis is now tied with the Cubs for first place. That was better than winning at the table game for me.

I have not worked-out for the last two days because I have come home from work exhausted for some reason. I am fairly sure that I am dying. I am not being maudlin but, we are all dying the moment that we are born. I have been pretty sore from working-out but, when I am done writing this, I will go downstairs and feel the bern burn again. It seems like it is going to be a nice day so I hope to spend some time outside (maybe mowing the lawn but that will probably be tomorrow when Jill's at work). I would rather spend time with her when she is home and mow later.

There has been a lot on television about Princess Diana lately. I think this is the month that she died in 1997. She was pretty special. I was watching The Queen earlier this morning and those Royals are really stuffed blouses and shirts. I think that is changing a bit with Harry and William. I really hope one of them gets to become King one day on my lifetime. There has not been a King of England since 1952 (King George VI). If William becomes King does be become King William or does he have to pick a king name? For some reason, I believe they pick names for themselves, don't they? I could be mistaken, as I am most often.

Okay, it is almost 0800 so I am going to change into my work-out attire and go get all sweaty so I can take a shower afterward. I may move a larger television down to the workout room because Cha Cha says the one we have down there is too small. I will probably swap the one on the bedroom for the one un the workout room right away. Enjoy the weather today in the MIDDLEwest if your are in my neck of the nape. If not, enjoy whatever you have. I thank you for stopping by and plan to write again tomorrow. TTTT...MITM (out) TA!

I Got the Beaver Cleaver Cut Today

I cannot believe it is already 16:16. I am not sure I have anything to blog about but I try to keep my word about 75-100% of the time. I guess I try more than that but I am unsuccessful up to approximately 75% most of the time (90%). I know I have said it before but I was never really very good at math. I wish they had had phones with calculators apps when I was younger.

What happened today? Jill and I went out for brunch and then she had a meeting and now she is working upstairs for her real job. She took a half day off. I went shopping twice again today - Target and Hy-Vee. Fabio went with me to Target and I bought him some food items so he doesn't starve to death in his new place. Oh yeah, I also got my hair cut at Sports Clips. I had not been to them in quite awhile so my hair is shorter than I usually get it cut. Reason? The last time I was there they cut it this short and that's what they had in the computer. I feel like a kid getting his haircut in, what my parents called, "the regular little boy's cut." I look like Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver again. I had been going to Great Clips since my last visit to today's joint. I am happy that I can wear hats to work as I may do that for awhile beginning tomorrow.

I added a few things (exercise equipment-wise) to the exercise room today and Fabio and I are working on getting the WiFi down there. I am really tired but I may workout a bit before bed tonight. At the very least ride the bike and maybe the treadmill.

It will not be much longer until we get back in the Dirty Laundry Studio (Kajunkles Studio) and start the show again. I know I have said that a few times but I really mean it this time; just like I really meant it the last several times too. I will let you know, of course, when Cha Cha and The Agitator are waxing poetic. I am not sure who this poetic person is but I am impressed with all of the waxing that he/she gets done - must be a channel swimmer or something?

I am not sure what is going on for dinner. We still have some guacamole and seasoned ground turkey left as well as some chips and corn and flower shells. It maybe leftover taco/nacho night?

I heard some really disturbing news today - Donald Trump is still President. I cannot wait until I can report differently. I like that his approval rating keeps going down and down among his former followers and supporters. I cannot believe he can't even keep his Twitter trap shut while he is on vacation. I am happy about that because that is making his approval plummet but I still cannot believe it.

I saw it!

I have to get some things done because tomorrow is back to work day. Cha Cha and I had discussed going down to Carbondale, home of one of our alma maters is (SIU) to watch the solar eclipse as that is suppose to be the best place in the world to view it. But, we have decided against it because it is going to be crazy down there. They are talking about: no hotels available, possibly running out of vehicle fuel... I also saw a report about Lalapalooza in Chicago, that just ended, and all of the stolen property that thieve lifted and pick-pocket during the concerts. With southern Illinois having many more people that the Chicago concert show I worry what might happen. We will be able to see the eclipse from here (even if not for the full two minutes and 55 seconds or whatever it is) but I am okay with that. Splenda and Andy are going and I hope everything goes well for them. They are both bright and sensible so I think things will go just fine. Plus, what happens if it rains and the sky is overcast or something? I always fear the worst and hope for the best. Fabio and I will be at the Kane County Cougars game (free tickets and food vouchers) so we will see the sun I imagine. Can you believe Cougar Stadium is now Northwestern Medicine Field? What does Northwestern Medicine not own in this area? We used to go to Cougars' games all of the time and it seemed like every other week they were an affiliate of a different Major League team. Now they are minor leagues for the Arizona Diamondbacks. They are playing the Burlington Bees who are affiliated with the Los Angeles Angels. I may wear a Diamondbacks cap to the game - I have all of the MLB caps and several that no longer exist. Fabio has a Diamondbacks cap too because I coached his little league team (along with my assistant Splenda) when they were the Diamondbacks.

Okay, it is 17:01 and I am done. All of a sudden I am Nipsey Russell so let's not tussle. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are well and continue to be that way. Have a great night and I will blog again on my next weekend - I just looked and, as of write now, I have nothing scheduled on my three-day weekend Su,M,Tu - woohoo. Maybe I will golf? TTTSu,M,Tu...MITM (out) TA!

I Cannot Believe it's Already Guacamole-Thirty

It is 12:34 and I am finally blogging. I am using the writing to rest, to be honest. I have had a busy morning. Most of that business was vacuuming and cleaning what had formerly been Fabio's bedroom. It is, officially, the workout room now. It is a large area so it efficiently houses all of the exercise equipment that we have amassed  over the years. I am very happy with the way that it turned-out. My workout for today was to vacuum the carpeting and moving over: the weight bench, the free-weights, the sit-up machine doohickey (how come we don't use the word "doohickey" any more?),  the bench-press and those weights and the weight machine the weights (leg and arm) that are attached to that.

Yesterday we went to Wheeling to Coopers Hawk for a celebration for our niece getting her Master's Degree. Fabio and Cha Cha's sister, Heather, went with us. Man, that is a long way from here. It was a good time and we saw many people that we have not seen in awhile. Splenda and Andy were there too so it was really nice. Of course, when we got home, we watched Game of Thrones. I had been awake since 00:26 so I did not get much from last night's episode as I was very tired from no sleep and driving. I will probably re-watch it today sometime after I go to the supermarkets. I must say - one way to get a good night's sleep is to not sleep the night before.

This morning I also cancelled a doctor's appointment from a neurologist that I have decided not to see any longer. I have another neurologist that I trust much more that I will continue to see. That one said that he does not need to see me for another year, unless something else comes up in the meantime. I also made an appointment with my general practitioner. His office called last week and asked me to call to make my yearly check-up. He must need a new putter or sand wedge or something. Golf makes me think about 45 going on vacation to play golf at one of his resorts and then tweets what CNN is talking about. In all fairness, it was raining in New Jersey where he was. But, why was he watching "fake news" while he is on vacation?

I should get a haircut today but I think I will do that tomorrow.

When we got home yesterday evening we went to see Fabio's new place. It is really nice and he and his roommate have it decorated very nicely. I am very excited of him. It makes me very happy that both of our kids are doing very well.

I spoke to my dad when we got home yesterday and he told me that my mom slapped another "resident" at her new place. They are going to readjust her medications with my dad's permission. I believe she is just confused and frustrated as being in a new place again and she is just not used to the routines. I hope I am right. My dad says that Medicare, not Medicaid, is paying her bills right now (for 100 days at this time). I am not sure what the difference but I am glad they are getting help before 45 screws that up.

I love service guacamole in that bowl for some reason

I think  I will stop now and get dressed to go to the store. I am thinking about ground turkey tacos with black beans, rice and guacamole. I love making guacamole because fresh guacamole is the only way to eat guacamole. I will write some more after I get back. I am going t have to learn how to cook for two as there have been more than the two of us for such a long time. I will probably have problems with the portioning so, if you're hungry and in our area on a particular day, let me know and I will make enough for you (even though there will probably be more anyway). Leftovers are usually great too though. I will be back so to finish - tweet among yourselves until I get back.

It is 15:11 now. I did a few bills after the shopping too (water, electric...) but nothing essential really.

I got all of the things for the tacos and guacamole and, as soon as I am done writing, I will make the guacamole. I am going to wait awhile because, if I make it now, all of the baked chips and guac will be gone before Cha Cha gets home. I will probably sent Fabio a text and see if he wants to stop by for tacos. He works at the grocery store less than a mile away from us and I know he is working because I saw him (stealthfully) when I stopped at store number two (Schnuck's) after store number one (Jewel) didn't have everything I needed and/or wanted. "Store number one" and "store number two" have nothing to do with bodily functions or the order in which I rate them, rather, that was the simply the order that I went to them today. I am gonna send him a text right now. He might be interested in seeing that the artist formerly known as His Bedroom is now a Anytime Fitness.

Do you think he saw me?

I am obsessed with making the guacamole now so I am going to end the writing already. I still have one more day of my weekend tomorrow and I love talking to with at you here so I am certain that I will write again tomorrow. If I don't please do not be alarmed because I may just be in traction from working-out again. I don;t think I will have to mow the yard this week because of the way global warming has made the grass not grow so much this week. Enjoy the rest of your today and your tonight because you do a lot of wonderful thing for everybody else and you deserve to treat yourself once in awhile (or always) TTTT...MITM (out) TA! How many times did I use the word "guacamole" in today's blog do you suppose?

One More Day and the Nest Empties

Oh, my goodness it is already 14:05.

I have been in shorter lines for concert tickets in the 80's

This morning I went to the DMV for the new sticker for the plates for the 4Runner. I was happy that they only charged me the $101 as the sticker expired yesterday. I did go yesterday but they are closed on Mondays. I mentioned that so maybe that is why they didn't charge me a surcharge. It was quite a long line for stickers/registrations/titles... the line for new licenses and tests was much longer though. After that I came back home and Fabio and I went to the bank to get a cashier's check for his rent/security deposit. He moves out of here tomorrow while I am at work. If we are not busy at work I will see about getting off early to help. After the bank we went for lunch at B-Dubs (Buffalo Wild Wings). I also stopped at The UPS Store to send a package back to Amazon Prime for Cha Cha.

After writing the blog yesterday Fabio and I went to my parents' house to get the trailer. I guess it is my trailer now as my dad no longer has a vehicle that has a trailer hitch. I parked the trailer in the garage in case it rained/rains. Fabio is carrying his boxes up from the basement and loading the trailer  as I write. He says he does not need help so I will not insist. He is young and tall and thin and I am old and average height and fat. While we were working on getting the trailer to work for my hitch yesterday I was trying to loosen the bolt that held the ball and the pipe wrench slipped and I fell back on my skinny, flat ass and it still hurts a bit today. Thankfully, I slept pretty well last night in spite of that. Jeff is watching Noah haul the boxes up and he is trying to figure out what is going on.

  Now it is a nightmare!  

The Orange Idiot in Chief is speaking on CNN right now. I do not believe a word that he says. I think Im"peach"ment is perfect for a man of his color. 

No More Mooch after I posted the Jay and Silent Bob clip yesterday on my Facebook page. I was unaware of the power I yielded until after the Mooch had to scooch without a smooch for screwing the pooch. Let me know if you need me to use my voodoo again and I will consider on a case-by-case situation. I do not wish to abuse my new-found powers. I also don't know if there is a certain number limit of how many times I can use it. I will learn as I go.

Tonight at 8PM CST I plan to watch Al Gore - The Climate Crisis on CNN. I have the DVR set in case I forget to watch or fall asleep. Those are my inconvenient truths. I really wish he had become President. I did sign a petition for him to run in 2020 at the website Change.org. We need to right the ship so our children, grandchildren... can live safe and happy lives.

Sorry, I took a quick break there to help Noah load the trainer with his couch, a couple of chairs, a table... 

Okay, I am going to end now because Noah needs more help and I have to rehang the basement door. Thanks a lot for coming by. I know I always (usually) say that or something like that but, please know, I really do appreciate you and, please know, that those are not just words; I really do appreciate YOU! TTTSunday (early or late most likely as I actually have something to do on that day for a change)...MITM(out) TA!
