Another Morning....

Welcome to the early hours of Saturday! Once again, I am the boring guy that is here to help you fall asleep with my hum-drum, monotonous, and clearly non-entertaining drivel.

What has happened since that last post that is so exciting? Absolutely nothing.

Let's spice it up. Let's talk politics. If nothing else, it will get you to scroll through this page faster, checking if I actually have anything worthwhile to read.... which you will find I don't. And then you can continue on your way.

Seriously. Politics. I don't like to debate them. I don't like to scream to world about who I think is best, or what party is best, or which is worst. I truly try to understand each candidates' platform, on issues I think that are important, and how I feel about their approach in how to address each issue. I'll be honest. I have never seen anyone please me in all items. That will never happen. I get that. I am not looking for the impossible.... just what I feel could be better.

I can admit freely (because this is America, right?) that I am conservative in many aspects of thinking. Less conservative in others. Downright crazy in a very limited few. I am registered to a "party" but have voted against that party before, and have no fear of doing it again when I feel it is right. Does everyone I vote for win? Of course not, and I have to deal with who does win, regardless that I didn't care for all (or many, or some) of their standpoints. I don't go out bad-mouthing that party if it wasn't mine because "we" lost. I admit, I may copy a meme or several making fun of them.... but, such is Life.

You know we have the Republicans. The Democrats. Sometimes a LibTard (that's what many of my friends call them) and rarely, but a Green Party? Yeah. Green Party. Anyways.... Libertarians. Gotta love the idealism they stand for. I respect. Truly. Then I want to slap them upside the head with REALITY. 

I've had several people I know start posting support for this Jo J. person, for 2020 Lib. candidate lately. I admit, my interest was picqued. These people, that previously have shown to have similar ideas as I do, suddenly supporting this person.... I'll try to be fair. These supportive posts are usually something along the lines of how she wants to abolish the ATF. Less Gov't involvement in Business. Bring American troops home. Stay out of Foreign conflicts. It goes on and on. That's not counting the "gang up" on the Reps and Dems to allow the Lib party to debate live on TV with them.

Hey! Those are things I could agree with, at least to a large degree. So tonight, before putting you to sleep with all this, I went and checked out their website. Here it is: https://joj2020.com/

They do list her standpoints on several issues... at least many of the main ones. But I felt more and more frustrated as I read through them. 

This is my opinion, and I openly admit, I am not into politics. My decisions and opinions are mine, regardless how I come to them. But this website, just made me think, that all Libs want to do is say the thing that the average American person wants: less Gov't, put the People in control of things, reduce deficit, the list goes on. It was like someone was giving my fat butt cheeks a big ol' wet kiss... so sloppy I want to take a shower and use a fire truck hose to clean my buttocks. Now I want to go back to these people I know that are appearing to support this party, and tell them they're crazy .... but I won't. Because, America gives them the right to choose.... even if I think they are wrong... and stupid to be this wrong.

Soooo.... one candidate down off my list to consider this year. Wait! That makes two actually. The old guy that sniffs the hair of little girls and can't seem to remember certain facts that seem important... he made the list first.   

Wow, it's narrowing down pretty quick this year. Wonder how fast November will get here - after how many more horror events to add to Covid, Murder Wasps, Fires, Floods, and Lord knows what else...

Damn scary... all of it.

So Much For Resting

I wrote yesterday, that the basic plan was to "veg" all day. Of course, like everything in my Life, that didn't get to happen.

Daughter called in the morning, said she wanted to get together with a friend. No big deal, I don't make her ask permissions for things - she is an adult. Oh, but could I watch my Doodad for a couple hours. I said yes, of course, because it is my Doodad.... but by the time they got over here, I was having second thoughts. I am not a patient person when dealing with screaming kids, but I figured I had the two boys here, they could help. So she was dropped off and the Daughter ran for the hills.

The first half hour she cried and screamed for her Mommy. Typical. I was trying to distract with Disney cartoons that she watches at home. No luck. Finally asked one of the boys to help, and he would carry her on his shoulders around the house (which she loves him doing). I laid down for a bit, as I already had a headache coming on.

With the help of the two boys, their plans of coming/going, myself, a bloody nose, and a traffic delay of about an hour.... that "watch her for two hours? ended after 4+. Bloody nose? She was teasing our dog, and got nipped at. A tooth caught just the inside of her nose and scratched her. Nothing bad. But she was told not to tease the dog.

Needless to say, it was a long day for me. I went to bed wiped out. And back up early today.... damn sleep issues.

A Day of Rest ...Sorta

The first part of this week has been sort of busy. RM and PT have been in the process of moving homes. I volunteered my boys as extra muscle. I just kind of hung around and made small talk. Monday was the busier day, and we were to help out yesterday, but I overslept. Which in itself was nice with the sleep issues I have been having. The Daughter surprised us all with a trip into town, and so in the end we did end up going over RM's new place so they could see my Doodad and Daughter.

Today I am resting up. The Middle Son had plans for today, and the Youngest Son is whiny about how sore he is (yesterday - he's still asleep at this moment). I am a bit sore for not doing much. Lower back and knees. Might be because of more walking than usual... I dunno. Daughter might be by again today before heading back to Tucson. She is not quite sure of her plans as of last night.

Guess that's all I got for now...

Got to Stop Meeting Like This

... or at least at this hour of the morning. This makes night, what, three? Four? in a row of being up at 3am. Considering I went to bed around midnight, the lack of the proper number of hours if sleep I should be having is starting to makes it toll felt. And tonight's extra added feature is I feel dehydrated... like I just cannot get enough fluid to drink. Already have gone through a 52-ounce drink, and getting ready to top it back off and start again. 

My Doodad and her family made it up yesterday. They were a bit early, and were able to swing by here prior to their dental appointments, so I was able to visit briefly. I do not know what plans they have regarding the rest of the weekend, but hope to see them sometime today.

If I don't pass out from needed sleep.... pr spend the day in the bathroom because I have drank so much.

The things I have to look forward to.

Misdirected, Anger I think

I'm fucking pissed off. Sigh. Deep breath. Yeah, I'm still pretty upset, and liable <not incriminating myself>.

I have 4... yes 4... brothers in laws. The oldest just happens to leave in state with us. He is socially vocal about his opinion. The other 3, well, for now... they are out of state, and don't pertain to this issue...just yet.

Let's start... social media is Facebook, so if you don't know me there, who cares, right?

Brother is making a stand about not wearing masks, in a state that has the highest daily contagion rates. Yes, he doesn't live in the Valley, where the numbers are more prevalent, but he lives in a county, of the state, that still has positive reports. I mentioned before that many of the cities of the Valley-area decided on mask use in public, with certain relaxations for certain things. Mask off when at a table at a restaurant, but wear it to your table, etc.... little things.

BIL says masks aren't needed. He lives a bit north of the Valley, in PAYSON. Look it up. Smaller town, but people can get infected anywhere.... Masks aren't needed. Then he mentioned his sister.

That's my Wife. The Wife. He brought her in his conversation about how masks are not needed, yet, she, his sister, THE WIFE, had covid. We even told them up front so the "family" knew what was going on.

Pissed off like a mother fucker. That's me. The Wife spent some time writing out some long multi-paragraph response about how important masks are, especially in the healthcare setting. She let me read it before posting. I agreed 100% with her.

Then after her post, I posted that I agreed 100% with her, and as her family, if she is ever used as an example again, I will fucking hurt you.

Threat? Yes, definitely. The Wife came back in and asked the same. I agreed. It gave her stress and anxiety to have her own brother call her out to support his ideals, when he knew she had been sick, but was playing like it was a "nothing" disease. Fuck him. I would gladly rearrange his face if he were to show up here... hell, guns are nice (not making it a threat online....)

Now I have a Wife pissed off at me, because I backed her, and told her dumbass brother to fuck off....

I get to see Doodad this weekend. It's the little ones that keep you from just saying fuck it all and ending it.

Today's Agenda

Well, there literally is not anything on that list. I probably, more than likely, just wasted that piece of paper by putting that heading on it. <shrug> So what?

I really have no plans today. I think the Middle Son is planning on hiking with a friend this morning up one of the nearby hiking trails up the mountain. The Youngest will probably sleep in. I have the alarm set for 7am so it is not too hot for me to get out and water the patches in the front where we are trying to get Bermuda to take.

No idea what to do with the rest of the day. Kinda nice in a sense.

Eye See Clearly now ....

My eyes are getting worse. Even sitting here writing this I have to focus to see what I am typing more than I recall ever having to do before. I know myself, and the rest of the family, all are overdue to get eye exams done. Which means new glasses for all of us I am sure. But our vision insurance isn't the best, though it does help quite a bit. Financially, it just isn't easy. So I will make do with stretching the arm out to read something in hand, or tip the head up to use the bifocals for now.

Not too much going on today. Spent most of yesterday going through job searches. Sent out a couple resumes, but am not holding my breath. Today I'll look and see if any new ones came up since yesterday.
