Our Day

We're down one car (more on that later) and with appointments all over town this morning I biked to one, Lisa headed to Brookfield for another, and I sent the two youngest to swim class on their bikes. I came home to find PD and LK salty as heck. Apparently our calendar was wrong and there was no class and they were locked out of the house. They called grandma to come unlock the door but I got home in time. Hardly a tragedy. But what was is that a baby bird fell to its death in our yard. I buried him with honors. 

 By the way, if you are 300 pounds and have a bad hip, I strongly suggest you do not bike 2 miles uphill to an appointment unless you have ample time to do so. I made it in time, but I will pay for it shortly

Wrong

Disgusted to hear of another terrorist attack in London, this time perpetrated against Muslims. Pointless, divisive, and morally wrong.

Preach Danny

It never ceases to amaze me. Visit a weight loss FB site and scores of commenters criticize everyone else's food and exercise choices. 

 B--ch, you ain't here because you're an expert. You didn't get to be 300 pounds by eating radishes. Shut the heck up and be polite.

The taste of the '90's is back baby!

My Art

Trying out the brushes I got for my birthday back in March!

Hip Pain

On the good news front, my hip pain finally subsided. Sure, it was bad enough that I was covered in a cold sweat and literally puked, but hey, don't bother prescribing me pain pills. I'd like to know what doc is responsible for this opiod "epidemic" and sign up as a patient.

My Anxiety

Misplaced my phone. My anxiety kicked in. Even pawed through a bag of rotten garbage in the search, and made bitter enemies of the children I made join me. don't handle the loss of items well; my mind swirls with conspiracy theories and worst case scenarios. I'm a nut. (OJ found it in the car)

Wow

I don't know, maybe the deck has inspired some pride of ownership in the kids. Their rooms were bad, so bad I have trouble coming up with even a fictional analogy - maybe Jackson's room on Hannah Montana? But of their own accord they've launched a two day cleanup, taking out multiple bags of trash, doing laundry, vacuuming their carpets, even moving furniture. It's a Flag Day week miracle!

I'm typing this from the shaded comfort of my deck. 🙂

The Democrats won the Congressional Softball Game but handed the trophy over to the GOP so it could be put in Rep. Steve Scalise's office. Very cool of them.

The Terror Attack on the Congressional Softball Game

FBI Special Agent in Charge Tim Slater: "Too early to say" whether shooting was an act of terrorism: Bull. No. It was terrorism. Not all terrorism is inspired by religon. In this case, it is the terror of the Left. And it makes me sick to watch all these TV anchors report on the very hate they inspire. 

Insane to see who was there, and what leadership this nation might have lost. Kudos to the police for putting him down.

Make of this What You Will

At a fast food place last week I paid $3.58 in cash, the exact amount of the purchase. The cashier put it in the drawer, then counted out the same amount, returned it to me with a receipt, and went on her way. I returned it. A few days later Lisa paid with a twenty and was given close to $25 in change. Take what you want from this, given your preconceived political and social biases.
