Random Thoughts – Aug. 29

Random Thoughts – August 29

  • The GOP doesn’t like the mirrored reflection that Gavin Newsom has shown them.
  • Didn’t Trump claim during J6 that only the Speaker of the House could call in the National Guard?
  • Could it be that Ron DeSantis is scared of LGBTQ+ folks because he’s still in the closet?
  • It’s a felony to throw a sandwich at law enforcement, but it’s not a felony to beat a police officer with a flagpole?
  • Slavery is part of this country’s history. You can’t erase what’s already happened.
  • I don’t care about Taylor Swift’s engagement, but I don’t wish her ill, either.
  • Donald Trump cries and lashes out like a child when someone talks bad about him or when someone succeeds, and especially when that someone is a woman or person of color or both.
  • ICE is nothing more than today’s Gestapo.
  • Republicans will go down in history as the party that let America down.
  • JFK, Jr. isn’t a doctor or a scientist. He’s an idiot. Vaccines save lives!
  • Some people say, “Guns are not the problem. People are the problem.” So, why would you let the problem have guns?
  • Some say, “If ICE picks me up, I can prove I’m a US citizen!” Who are you going to prove it to? Without due process, without going before a judge, you won’t be able to prove anything.
  • Where’s Elon? Is he our modern-day Waldo?
  • If any Democrat had ever done one thing that DJT has done, Republicans would have a lynch mob out to get him.

Well, that’s all I have for now. My mind is scrambled with all of the BS going on! I hope each and every one of you has a great Labor Day weekend. Be safe!

Random Thoughts To End The Year

 
  • I might not ask for help, but I won’t forget those who offered.
  • If you get mad because I “challenge” something you say, that tells me that you know you are full of shit and that you just don’t want me to prove you wrong.
  • Don’t mistake my self-control for weakness.
  • Sometimes I laugh at inappropriate times.
  • If you tell the truth, you won’t have to remember anything.
  • People don’t have to like me, and I don’t have to care.
  • When I say I can’t do something it means I truly can’t. I am not lazy.

  • I sometimes get teary-eyed when I think about moving into the new house.
  • It makes no sense to dust the furniture when it will all be dusty again by tomorrow.
  • Facebook always suggests “people I may know” and I always think, “Yeah, I know them and I don’t like them.”
  • I always wonder what my 3 cats call me.
  • I don’t use autocorrect because I can incorrectly spell the wrong word without help.

See you in the New Year, my friends!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Well, really not that busy. Just busy not getting anything done, if that makes sense. Lack of sleep coupled with pain and mobility issues seem to keep the wheels spinning but I get nowhere.

Dad had his 85th birthday yesterday. I took him out for lunch since he says he doesn’t need anything. We had a fried shrimp basket with fries at one of our favorite places. I finally figured out the best time of the day to go there. It’s always so busy and being a small space, it’s just too damn loud to enjoy a meal when it’s crowded. Around 2pm is perfect except for one thing. Employees are cleaning during the slower hours and normally that doesn’t bother me but yesterday, one of the workers was cleaning the legs of the tables and chairs. It seemed like he was pissed because everytime he grabbed a chair he turned it upside down with a great loud bang on the table top. Then when he finished wiping down the legs of that chair, he’d pull it down onto the floor with another great loud crash. Then he’d move on to the next chair. The restaurant is very small and so we were right there within 10 feet of what he was doing. It was hard to even have a conversation! I wanted to drop kick the little shit but I behaved my damn self. When the guy finally finished Dad and I had a nice lunch and conversation. I still can’t believe Dad is 85 years old! Shit, that makes me…well, too damn old.

I’ve been trying to get my “book” ready for printing. Remember my series of posts called The Ex Files? When my ex passed away in December of 2020, I decided to stop the blog series and compile them all into a book of sorts for my children all about their father. It’s been over a year now that I’ve been editing and proofreading…and perfecting every paragraph. I want my adult children to know about my relationship with their father and why I had to leave him; why I had to get them away from him. At the same time, I want them to know that he did have good qualities.

Anyway, I do a little work in the mornings on the book and then try and catch up on sleep. By the time I wake up, it’s lunch time and then I have chores to do around the house. Chores aren’t easy for me. The house looks like ass. That’s something I picked up from my sister. Snort.

As soon as my book is finished for my kids, I’ll be moving on to my cookbook. I will probably try to recruit a few people to test recipes and take photos. There might be a free cookbook in it for those who choose to assist! Who knows how long it will take me to finish that project!

Next week, I hope to get back to writing in this blog. Writing steadily is hard for me. I always think I’ll write a bunch of posts ahead of time and schedule them but then I just never get to it. Sorry if you miss Friday’s Funnies. I miss doing those posts, too! Maybe next week I’ll have the time and energy to put into it.

Also, I’m so far behind on reading the blogs I follow that I will never catch up. I do miss reading them!

Nap time now.
