Bluntness

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

Swept Away

 Well, I got out of bed at my standard 0445 this morning.  This is how life is for me.  I'm a morning person.  I like to get things done as early as possible so I have the rest of the day to do what I want.  Managing your time is important, it is yours after all.  True, you have to give some to your employer in order to get a paycheck, but after those 8 hours are done it all 'your time' to spend as you wish.

I'm going to spend some of my time this morning by driving into Staples - I need some small tablets for making my grocery lists.  A walk with the dogs is also planned; early though, because of the heat.  Yes, it's still hot here, at least for today.  There is a 60% chance of thunderstorms.  Tomorrow the temps are supposed to only get into the low 80's (F).  Hopefully the hottest part of summer is over.  Just think, thanks to global warming, every summer will be getting warmer.

Yesterday, as I was walking down the stairs, I caught a glimpse of both dogs sitting on the futon in the living room.  Since I had my phone with me, I snapped a picture.


And, of course, for those of you who haven't realized it yet, those Executive Orders by the Idiot Jerk in the White to help benefit the (cough, cough) common man, were really designed to give him a boost in the polls.  It isn't going to work.  Believe it or not, most Americans have already made their minds up on how they're going to vote this November.  That, too, should not come as a surprise to you.  That decision began to solidify almost 4 years ago, when an electoral win put him into the White House.  The Second Republicans started saying "shut up, we're in charge," votes were already being set in concrete.  Rather than move to the center, they hardlined to the Right, all the while saying "we have the majority in the House and Senate."  Their inability to understand America, their need to force their Conservative will onto a Centrist country, is the reason the lost the House in 2018.  That lost was a real eyeopener for them.  America was not going to sit back and swallow their hatred.  They knew back then that the odds of the Idiot Jerk surviving into a 2nd term were shrinking daily.  And so they buckled down on tearing apart Centrist America believing all their changes were going to be permanent.  They don't understand.  Everything they've put in place is going to be swept away.

  1. I like to wake up early, or maybe I just like going to bed early :). The weather is hot here too. August is just going to be a slow smolder.

    1. I don't mind a little smolder every now and then, I just don't want to bake.

  2. Same!
    I like to get things started early. During the pandemic I've had to structure my day or otherwise I lose track of time and do nothing.
    You know Cheeto will stoke racism, lie and play tinfoil dictator with his executive orders signed with crayons for the world to see until election day.
    Hopefully Americans in general have seen that electing a corrupt talk show host has given them the reality show of their nightmares.
    And the doggies look so cute!
    I love the colors in your house, btw and how you replicated them in the rug. Who knew you could give Property Brothers a run for their money?

    XOXO

  5. Thank you so much for the optimism you always write with concerning the upcoming elections. It gives me hope. I don't mind admitting that I'm terrified of what might happen in November.

    1. There are certain inherent truths in the world and one is people don't like being told what to do. This is especially true in America.

  6. I hope to hell you're right about the elections. That he might get back in is just unthinkable. In other news, your dogs are just adorable - and like someone upthread said, I love your colour schemes too!

    1. Even my brother, the social conservative of the family told me he believes he's going to lose.
      Many people are frightened of color since it says something about their personality.
