One less expense if…

So I paid our vehicle registrations today.

You can now pay for a two year registration. The cost to register my van for two years cost a mere 12 dollars more than his truck’s registration for one year.

Another reason for him to consider selling the truck.

Other reasons:

  1. He drives the truck maybe once every 4 months or less.
  2. The cost of the insurance
  3. The cost of filling his tank
  4. The cost of inspections
  5. We could rent out his parking spot on the driveway.

Need to find a handyman

What we really need around here is a handyman, not just for my home but for G’s as well.

We find we’re both in the position of needing to have things done around the house that we cannot do these days.

Our ‘oh, I wish someone could do this with skill and at an affordable price’ lists grow longer with each day.

If I had the wherewithal

I’d move to an island far from these shores.

I’d build me a small house on a beach.

I’d offer up my troubles to the sea.

Sending them off on the tides and let my heart be free.

I’d soar on the wind.

I’d dance on the waves.

I sing to the moon and laugh at the sun.

I’d bury myself in the sand.

Backing away from Facebook

I’ve reached the point of over-saturation. I see far too many tiny-brained comments that make me wonder wtf has happened to our education system.

So many jaw-dropping, moronic opinions thrown out there without a whit of sense about them scares the crap out of me.

We are in danger, as a people, of becoming the worst of humanity because we have forgotten so many important things.

Things like:

Humility

Compassion

Kindness

Humanity

Generosity–not just of wealth but of spirit

Empathy

Love

Joy

Service to others

Honesty

Honor

All the goodness that women and men are capable of but have set aside. Stop setting all these things aside and start to embrace them. You’ll find through these actions we can build a better place in this world.

I don’t need another time sucker

I live with a Time sucker. He tends to drain me of most of my time.

I am guilty of allowing a couple of computer based time sucks into my life.

I play two online games, I write this blog, and I’m on Facebook.

No, I don’t need to add more time suckers to my daily life. I have to set a timer to keep me from becoming glued to the ones I do have.

So, NPR set the Trumplets off

Hysterically funny.

NPR tweeted the Declaration of Independence and proved we have way too many ignorant people out there in this world.

The Trumplets thought it was an anti-Trump campaign. Duh, people, have you not read our nation’s most precious document?

Well, I guess if the shoe fits….

As each day passes…

I am more and more disgusted by #45.

I find I am less tolerate of acts of stupidity by all people.

I keep wishing for a beach house and being able to spend the rest of my life there.

I cannot stand the sound of #45’s voice.

I cannot believe how low people can sink in their depths of depravity, cruelty, and traitorous cowardice.

If it isn’t fireworks it thunderstorms

Poor, poor Lucy suffers through another day of pure hell for her.

Fireworks to the left of her ….thunder to the right…

At least she manages to go hide herself in her crate and stays there until she feels safe enough to face the world again.

There’s no stopping Mother Nature but I’d sure like to shove a few bits of fireworks up a few asses and light them up.

Warming up again and more…

The Curmudgeon had to turn the AC on yesterday, the house was getting too warm for him to be comfortable. At least we had a few days where we didn’t need it on.

With July 4th approaching fast, we are suffering from fireworks going off at all hours of the night. EVERY night. Scaring my dog at 3 a.m. is not a nice thing.

I am ridding us of a bunch of coffee mugs. I have accumulated far too many for what little storage space we have. With sending 10 cups away, I did allow myself to add two new ones to what remained.

The Curmudgeon broke his favorite mug the other day and I found him a replacement and, at the same time finally found one the size and shape I wanted for me.

It’s that time again…

Several years ago my BFF’s husband died. He died from stage four colon cancer.

He’d put off testing for it even after his brother, many years before, had been diagnosed with colon cancer in its early stages where he was treated and survived it.

When they found his cancer, he was already at stage four. He died soon after even with surgery, radiation, and chemo treatments.

So today I begin the preparations for my second colonoscopy (I had my first one about 5 years ago.) Things have changed since my first one. Yay no Fleet enemas this time! Not sure how the junk I have to drink will be.

However, due to no food, just clear liquids and green or yellow Jellos, and a bad case of the runs from the medication I have to drink, I will be a very hungry and cranky person until well after the test on Tuesday.

I give you fair warning.

She’ll MELT!

We had rain off and on all day. By night time we had pouring rain coming down at a fairly steady rate.

Lucy does not like rain. She doesn’t like it one bit, but she tolerated going out in the day time light rain.

Not so much the after dark pouring rain. No, I had to boot her out the door each time she wanted to go out because she’d stall out at the door when she saw the rain. She literally did front paw stands trying to keep from going out the back door.

Next time you bedder getz me a raincoat!

Oh, cuffing and dragging out handicapped protestors–really not a good photo op

Never have the people of this country been so betrayed by our Government as we are now.

Republican Gentlemen, (and I use the term loosely)

You have stepped over the line. Your misogyny, greed, lack of moral fiber, bigotry, selfishness, heartless cruelty, ignorance and stupidity has gone too far.

Your “let them eat cake” attitudes will bring you down.

Arresting and dragging out handicapped protestors–not a good photo op. Tsk tsk.

You see, you have angered the people you work for–yes, you work for us and you seem to have forgotten that.

You may want to be corporate toadies but you can’t have it both ways.

Go put your resumes in with the corporations because WE THE PEOPLE are fed up with you and you are going to get your walking papers very soon.

Once the minions of your idiocy finally remove the blindfolds and see how screwed they are by you, well, I’m betting they will be even more pissed off than all of us sane people are. And you know what happens when the crazies get stirred up.
