Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

The Jewel

 Golly Gee!  I did really sleep in the morning!  An hour and a half, and I'm rather proud to say I did not wallow in the blankets.  I'm blaming the dogs.  They didn't get up.  Nope.  Just laid there snoring after the alarm went off.  I mean... what else was I to do?

My shoulder's feeling better, still hurts, but so far no popping.  I'd be willing to bet I strained it while put several cases of 12" x 24" tile up on the shelf.  They weigh about 50 lbs each, and lifting them 3 feet off the floor to slide onto the shelving is no easy task, especially when you're not 22 years old anymore.

For those interested, Lily is walking around the house with an orange and fluffy squeaky duck in her mouth.  Quite often, that seems to be a highlight of the moment for her.

And I did see this bit of the NHS (National Health Services) with Elton auditioning for a Covid vaccine spot.  This man is a jewel... so is Michael Caine.


The editing is continuing for The Body in the Loch.  The first 2 chapters were combined into 1; I threw out about 2000 words.  That's fine.  They were unnecessary.  The writer who can't cut words is more concerned about his words then he is his story.

Yesterday was the first day of Trump's 2nd impeachment.  Congress sat through a horrifying 13 minute video which was carried by the major networks as well as most cable news networks.  While I don't believe that asswipe is going to be convicted, that video continues to build on America's anger.  The number of Republicans abandoning the party is unprecedented.  His party will stay with him because without his base, they are nothing.  The ugly truth for them will be that even with his base... they are nothing.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make banana walnut pancakes and douse them with gallons of maple syrup.

  1. What? You're not 22? Do you mean to tell me I've been wrong all this time? I am shocked. And I loved watching Elton and Michael Caine. The diction! I'd have the vaccine in a heartbeat if the offer it to me.
    Did you read that the Repugs were doodling and doing other shit when the video was playing? Especially Rand Paul. Suck a dick.
    And of course they're not going to convict Cheeto. I'm not holding my breath. But his unrelenting corruption should be exposed. I can't wait until the civil suits are brought against him. He can run, but he won't be able to hide.
    Yay for proofreading!

    XOXO

    1. No, I didn't know they were doodling, but I shouldn't say that surprised me. They don't understand that America is watching them and passing judgment.

  2. Sadly, a lot of those RepubliQans averted their eyes to the video.

    1. Do you really think they can look at the truth and survive?

  3. I thought it funny...it almost came across as if Bruce Castor was a spy and sold trump out. His word did not help trump in the slightest.

    After he was done I would swear I heard trumps head explode.

    1. I think you are quite close to the truth when you talk about his exploding head

    I'm glad you got to sleep in. The extra rest had to be nice.

    1. Well, I'm on vacation so I might as well take advantage my relaxation time.

    1. The first time I saw it I laughed so loudly, it's terribly funny and really to the point.

    1. I laughed so hard. "That's me acting." I'm still laughing.
