Doggonedmysteries

Easily fitting into a beloved pair of jeans you haven’t been able to wear for two years!

Snuggling on the couch with your dog.

A quiet evening alone.

Reading a couple of good books without interruption.

G and I started with a stop at Target where we both picked up a couple of items. I tried on a jacket I liked the look of but, as is common in most women’s clothes, it was made too tight in the shoulders and arms to be able to wear any winter clothing under it. And people wonder why I do half my clothing shopping in the men’s departments.

We had a lovely lunch in Applebees. Caesar salads and Fiesta lime chicken–totally fucked up my calorie count for the day but dang it tasted good!

After that we made a pet store stop to pick up Lucy’s hip and joint formula chewies.

A quick shopping run through Giant and we were off to pick up The Curmudgeon’s favorite cookie bars at the farmers market.

Home, the car unloaded, everything put away, we both were exhausted.

It’s time that congress and the senate have term limits imposed. It’s past time for the old men, who do not live in the land of reality, to step down and make way for younger people.

People who look forward and don’t retreat into blatant bigotry, lies, and the illness of the corrupt wealthy.

It’s time for the salaries of both senators and congressmen to come down to a more realistic balance with their constituents.

We got an early morning call yesterday saying the plumber would arrive shortly. I dragged myself off the couch after a mere 3 hours of sleep, took Lucy out, put her in her crate, and made a cup of coffee.

Soon after I sat down to drink my coffee, the plumber arrived.

The thing that took him the longest was removing the old faucet. Our friend who had installed it had loaded in the caulking and turned each threaded part as tight as humanly possible.

He installed the new faucet and cleaned up after himself.

I now have a working faucet and sprayer. Yay me!

I have serious doubts that the US will ever recover from this administration’s complete lack of morality and conscience.

#45 and his cronies are as corrupt a bunch of living beings as you can find. They prove how little they care about anyone but themselves more each day.

#45 has taken our nation’s reputation, shit upon it, wiped his fat orange ass with it, and kicked it out the door.

Shame on him and shame on all who worship at the altar of the idiot man-child.

The speed at which time flies is relevant to the lateness of the hour and how much one needs to get done.

It is also relevant to how old you are.

The republican congress has succeeded in beginning the royal fucking of the people of this country.

It got here fairly early in the day. The Curmudgeon called the plumber and let them know, they put us on the schedule right away.

I will be so delighted to have a properly working faucet and sprayer again.

Or more if my back weren’t so chronically painful from picking The Curmudgeon up too many times and wrecking it…

I’d get a lot of things done around here.

I’d get more exercise.

I’d lose more weight faster.

Dang it, days till I have a properly working sink. He knows the problem but they don’t have a replacement faucet anywhere near mine. Had to buy another one elsewhere.

I probably won’t have a properly working faucet until sometime next week.

<Insert a LOT of cussing here>

Old faucet

The one they wanted to install was one of those flat down low faucets. No effing way! I need a tall one to fill my soup pots!

New faucet.

Had an appointment with my GP. My blood pressure is under excellent control and my cholesterol levels are also excellent. Yay me!

She’s thrilled with how the weight management program is going too.

Now if I can keep this going…
