Bluntness

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

Disarray

 So, we had another one of those nights when the temps didn't drop below freezing.  Same thing is in the forecast for this tonight.  Today skies are predicted to be overcast, thought temps are again supposed to be sitting around in the mid 40s (F).  Tomorrow, our temps are supposed to climb into the mid 50s (F) and I might try and get a little yard work done.

Yesterday I closed out an IRA, and did the entire thing online... well, mostly.  I initiated the process with a phone call, and then used DocuSign to complete the paperwork they sent me.  Easy, peasy.  For those of you who don't know, IRAs are a great way to save, however when you reach a certain age, you're going to need to begin cashing them in because they are Retirement Accounts.  They give you a choice, regular disbursements, or you can take a lump sum.  I did the lump sum.  I also had them take out a bit more in taxes since I know I'll get it back next year.

Otherwise, yesterday was mostly prepping for the new rower, which arrives today.  Wow!  Talk about fast action.  I bought it Sunday and it's getting delivered today.  All of the furniture was moved yesterday, so this morning is just going to be rearranging of the equipment left in the training room.  Still, looking at it, I must admit that it likes a lot of disarray.


Of course, there's disarray in politics.  The Republicans in Congress are going to push through vague impeachment charges on Mayorkas because they need immigration as an election issue.  This is one of those dead horses they like to kick so much, not in that it isn't a problem, but it gives them a constant charge they can levy at the Democrats.  

And things are going to grow more untidy when Trump's next penalty is announced, probably within the next few days.  He's is going to explode, and the angrier he gets, the angrier his base gets.  At some point, any semblance of control will be lost.  Their rage will be like a fire and consume them like a bonfire from Hell.  What a shame we'll not be able to get out our marshmallows.

  1. How many illegals have Republicans used through the decades. The wealthy who use illegals to clean and maintain their homes, red state farmers to harvest their crops, and businessmen exploiting cheap labor.
    All this while paying no payroll and social security taxes on their illegals. Tax evasion anyone ? And Republicans say they are for law and order, what a joke. :(

    1. For a long time this was a serious problem among Republicans.

  2. Oh, so today it was supposed to go to forty but it was chillier than yesterday (that was in the low thirties!). The manfriend says it's the humidity.
    As for the Repugs, of course they are in disarray. They are throwing stuff to the wall to see what sticks. Mayorkas is not afraid, that I could tell from the statement he put out.
    As for the Orange Walrus, I am also waiting to see what gives with this other legal shitshow he's involved in. It's not going to be pretty.

    XOXO

    1. Pretty was never an adjective I'd use in regard to anything about the OA, which is why, I suspect, he's always paid for sex in one way or another.

  3. That room looks like my spare bedroom - where all the junk from my still unfinished bathroom has been pushed!
