Bluntness

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

Ironically Speaking

 Well, yesterday was filled with surprises... sort of.  First of all there was the weather.  Temps were supposed to be in the high 80's and there was a 5% chance of rain.  Guess what?  We had rain.  Not just once, but twice with one of the storms lasting almost a half an hour.  Remember what I said about us becoming a tropical rain forest?

Another surprise was my car.  It was recall time.  When I arrived at the dealership, I was told about they were only going to take about 2 hours.  Ironically, after 2 hours, I was told they were still reprograming my car and that it would take at least another 3.  Yikes.  That meant spending 5 straight hours sitting in the waiting area.  So they gave me a loaner to go home.  They were right about the 3 hours.  They called about 5:15 PM and told me my car was ready, so I returned the loaner and picked up my car.

Today is the first day in my little Staycation in which nothing is planned.  I have no appointments, no luncheon dates, just time to do what I want.  I'm going to enjoy today.

I bought some new, really snazzy socks.  If I get a chance, I'll take a picture of me modeling them.


Evidently there is a growing backlash in this country over vaccinations, mostly angry Republicans shrieking about how the government is pressuring them to get their asses vaccinated.  They are intensifying their attack lies because they simply cannot believe Covid is a serious threat.  Hospitals are filling up, and certain states are reconsidering mask mandates.  Isn't it ironic how desperately they want to tell Americans how to live their lives, yet they, themselves, want to be told nothing.  They actually do believe they are special.  Damn.  Maybe this is the real reason why Trump got elected, to cull out the losers.

    1. I can see that happening. I guess it's the price we pay for Republicans to kill themselves off.

    2. Can't they just do it faster tho'? Did I just say that out loud? *winks*

  2. Love the sugar skull socks! I'd wear them in a heartbeat.
    And weather has been unpredictable here, too. We're kind of 'dry' this week, but it's Chicago, so I don't trust the forecast.
    And the Delta variant is virulent and probably deadly (MAGAts are not the healthiest, mostly). I find the Repug's twisting like a pretzel quite irritating. Their cognitive dissonance is killing people.

    XOXO

  3. I love the socks! Especially the skull ones. As to the MAGAts...talk about a "self own"! Lots of them are going to suffer and plenty will die because of their silly loyalty to the GOP.

  6. We are just home from the looong weekend and already planning a longer trip out West in September.

    I love the GQP and the rightwingnut media pushing vaccines now that they realized their base and audience are dying.

  7. Love your Day of the Dead Socks... and yeah, culling out the Losers is perhaps Natural Selection doing it's best work? Enjoy your staycation.
