Bluntness

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

Anger

 Holy Crap!  It's Tuesday.  Tomorrow I have to go back to work... for 5 consecutive days.  Luckily, I did not have a lot of measures going into this mini-vaca, so the number of phone calls I have to make is minimal.  I don't mind talking to people face to face, however, I really dislike call them to ask if they're going to buy their flooring.  Me personally?  I never put myself into a position where someone's going to call and ask a similar question.  I usually have all my ducks in a row before I even talk to a sales person, and am usually sure I'm going to purchase.  The less I need to deal with salespeople, the happier I am.  Having to deal with someone who wants to play hardball to get a sale pisses me off.

My back is feeling much better today, though there are the occasional spasms.  I just need to remind myself that some of my lower vertebrae are fused and that I'm not as flexible when it comes to bending and lifting. The responsibility is mine.  Picking up a 118 pound dog?  Not in the best interest for my lower back.  Biggie is just going to have to understand.

The temps are supposed to climb into the mid 90's (F) today.  No rain is forecast.  Still, I'm going to have to go out and mow my lawn.

Also, my dentist sent me a text, I have an appointment for September 4.  I do believe I'm going to call and cancel.  I just don't feel like going.  My teeth are fine.  Getting older, I've realized my main concern now deals with having one of them chip or crack.  

Here's a pic of one of my dahlias that survived the winter.


And if you're one of the vaccinated, there's a good possibility you might be growing a little angry at those who refuse to get the shots.  Tempers are rising, especially in areas of America where Republican / Conservative beliefs have been horrifically tainted by Loser #45.  While it's normal to have a certain number of people who have some trepidation about getting inoculated, the numbers in the red states are going through the roof.  Unfortunately, these people are beginning to piss off the rest of America.  Even more unfortunate is the fact that having only one shot doesn't quite protect one from the Delta variant.  Nothing is going to change the minds of these anti-vaxers.  Their anger is only going to grow.  My personal opinion is, if they don't want the shots, if the want to gamble with their lives, then let them.  The more they die off, the less power they'll have at the polls.  It's as simple as that.

    1. In a really odd way, Trump has given America a gift.

  2. I'm growing tired of the people who WERE anti-vax, then got sick and nearly died, and now are suddenly pro-vax. I mean, did they not see what's been happening the past year-and-a-half? Or are they suddenly speaking out for fifteen minutes of "fame"?

    1. Many of those who get intubated die, so I think when they come really, really close to having a tube stuck down their throat, they realize they've been told a terrible lie.

    1. Thanks for the compliment.

      I wouldn't be surprised if that's why Trump won in 2016, to thin the herd.

  4. I'm with you. Calling someone to see if they want their floor... not cute.
    And love the Dahlia. I'm thinking of some Fall flowers, but I have not made up my mind yet.
    And as for the unvaccinated? Fuck them all. Darwin would approve.

    XOXO

    1. Calling people has become one of the worst things I have to do.

      And people will remember when they go to vote that is was the dumbass Republicans who put them back into masks.

  5. Eeww, I would hate it if a salesperson called me as I hate the feeling of being strong-armed into a sale. But then I'm like you, I pretty much know if I'm going to buy when I go in and look so I don't leave people hanging!

    1. You have no idea how much I hate doing that. If you don't get measures, you don't have to cal.

  6. That's funny...I read that NY Times article late this afternoon at work and came home and checked your blog and see that you've read it too! And I do feel rising anger toward antivaxers. They're going to ruin things for the rest of us.

    Beautiful dahlia!

      People are not going to vote for a party that puts them back in masks.
