Even if I had to top it off with grocery shopping.

G and I went to Sumo’s for Lunch before we went to Giant for my few but pricey groceries. http://www.sumopa.com/menu.html#6  Kitchen lunch Bento Tempura Soft shelled crab, Salmon roll.

It’s 2 a.m. and the house is quiet.

I’ve paid a few bills.

Written a couple e-mails.

Played on Facebook for a bit.

I hear my book calling me…

Time to go read.

We’ve had one day of rain after another.

The ground is so saturated we all dread any winds over a whisper. Anything of any power will take out all the trees around in here in one fell swoop.

We have water in the basement again. Glad I have boots.

It didn’t take much did it?

All it took was a racist, misogynistic, ignorant, greedy, pig of a man backed by even greedier men of means who all lack compassion and morals.

They managed to inflame the long sleeping racists who now think it is okay to voice their nauseating, inflammatory, idiotic Nazi driven drivel.

My father and the men and women of his generation fought hard to keep those people from crawling out from under the rocks where they managed to hide after the war drove them under and under those rocks they should remain.

We are a country based on diversity we only grow and become the best we can be by accepting each other for who we are, not for what race we are or how much money we have in our pockets.

Only when we as people look beyond race, religion, and sexual orientation and hold fast to each other as a nation of a whole will we ever be the country we once were.

Only when we as a people unite as one to take care of each other, single payer healthcare, to guarantee a superior education for all (let’s do away with ignorance), when we uphold our constitution, to guarantee equal rights for all citizens will we be equal to what we should be.

Once again I had call upon the neighbors for help to get The Curmudgeon into his bed. He was down and couldn’t get up and I cannot, will not lift him.

He demanded I lift him, I refused and went looking for help. I really didn’t want to call 911 again.

Thank goodness for the young men next door!

They got him safely into his bed.

Then Lucy had to say hi to both of them–she’s spoiled that way.

So the other night I made The Curmudgeon’s favorite dinner for him, lamb curry.

Last night I made my favorite, chicken picatta.

Now if I can only figure out what to make for dinner tonight…

Neither the dog nor the husband have any idea what that is.

Having had only a small success in losing weight with the help of my weight management people, we’re trying a medication for a bit to see if that might help.

It is imperative I lose weight.

For my heart’s sake.

And who would take care of The Curmudgeon if I were gone?

As #45 suppresses freedom of speech and punishes critics we need to worry. Nay, we need to be angry, to rise up and insist that he go down.

We stand on the brink of destruction of all we hold dear as Americans.

Rise up!

Stand for freedom! Kneel for injustice! Make some noise!

Support the free press, the whistle blowers, those who resist this strange turn of our government to tyranny.

Rise up!

Criticize the corrupt politics–it is our constitutional right to do so.

Do not stand silent and allow a minority of racist bigots and misogynists to ride roughshod over us.

I truly wish we could send all this rain to the western states where it is sorely needed.

Lucy is completely disgusted with it too.

Today I went to take her out for a pee break and she was about 3 steps into the yard when thundered rumbled…

Lucy, “Fuck no!” Races back inside.

Things like leaving an area in better shape than how you found it? We were taught to clean up anyone’s trash we’d find while out hiking or fishing. We were taught to never litter when out camping or when at home. We had respect for other people and their properties.

Having respect for other people’s property? Yeah, where did that whole idea go? I would never dare sit on a stranger’s porch without an invitation.  Got startled one day going out my front door and someone was sitting on my porch bench. WTF?

Treating people with dignity and respect? I see such a lack of respect everywhere these days.

Cleaning up after yourself and not leaving a mess for someone else to clean? Not just outdoors but indoors. That food court has places for you to put your trash, do it. The same goes for many eateries.

The importance of a real education? Please, if you don’t have a high school diploma or a college degree Do Not attempt to ‘educate’ me.

Out of all the Bull Terriers we’ve had, Lucy is the most vocal.

Most of the time she barks to go out instead of ringing the bells and that’s just to the kitchen door. She’ll then bark again at the porch door.

When she comes in she’s barking to let us know she wants her cookie. LOL

She always barks when she wants what The Curmudgeon is snacking on no matter what.

She screams for her meals. Then it is all she can do to sit and stay until I give her the okay to eat. She usually does it well but then there are days…
