An Anniversary I Almost Forgot....

 Almost forgot this with all the brouhaha of the election tonight. I have been living with Type I Diabetes for 22 years now....

Hail To The CHief. I Guess....

 So, CNN is projecting that Cheetos-Face will win the election. And he's won by the popular vote. It's not the result that I wanted, but I will respect it. I feel that there will be consequences for this, both nationally and on a global scale. But the people have spoken (the projections say he won by the poular vote, like I said). And that means that Donald Trump is my president. For the next 4 years, and then no more (thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the 22nd Amendment).

Yes, he won. It was close, like the pundits had predicted. But in the end, it doesn't matter if it by one vote or by a landslide, he won. 

Now it's time to cross the aisle and work together.

Hail to the Chief. I guess....

Election Day Is Today....

 So today is election day. Will it be Harris or Cheetos-Face? I voted a week ago, and my brother voted this past weekend. And according to VoteWA.gov, my vote has already been recieved and will be counted. So I guess I'll just spend the night watching results and hiding under the covers....

I meant to go to Wally World this morning, but I didn't have my shopping bag with me (forgot it), and I decided not to deal with the paper bags with no handle. So no groceries today. Not a big deal, as I have enough in my pantry. Perhaps I might order pizza....

On Death.....

 So Sunday afternoon while I was sleeping (I work overnights, if you're just dropping into this blog) I recieved a Facebook message from one of my cousins on my Mother's side. My aunt (Mom's only sibling) passed away Saturday.My employer does offer paid bereavement, but only for close relatives (learned this from when my grandmother passed away), and aunts aren't close enough. So I went to work that night. My boss did offer the night off, but I declined as I was already there, and I'm already on this ice with my attendence issues....

So long story short, we lost Aunt Linda. She was my next door neighbor when my brother and I first moved in here. Eventually she moved to live with one of my cousins, and we grew apart. I never really kept in touch with Mom's side of the family (for some reason, Facebook never really took).

Rest easy, Aunt Linda. Mom will show you around....

I voted….

So I filled out my ballot today. Voted for Harris. There is just too much baggage with Trump. 34 felonies and counting. The racist rhetoric (some of his talking point sound like direct quotes from Mein Kampf). Then there’s the comments that were made about Puerto Ricans yesterday at his rally at Madison Square Garden. But then again, his comments on the Access Hollywood tape that came up in 2016 were sufficient proof that he does not have the character requisite for the Oval Office.

For State Governor, I voted Bob Ferguson. Never really card for Dave Reichart.

I voted against all 4 of the state initiatives. Too deceptively titled, and they’re all put up by one special interest….

I specifically abstained the Pierce County Sheriff’s race….

I have cast my vote. May my preferred candidates win, and if that’s not the case, may I find the strength to accept the results….

About that last post…

No, not all my adulting was done yesterday. This morning, I voted (more about that in a later post, perhaps). But I still had to make a trip to store. Had a late night moment of regularity, and I realized that the last roll of toilet paper was over half-way used already. So I had to grab some more.

And I had to get some Chinese take-out, too (by far the most important errand of my weekend)…..

The Weekend Has Begin, But The Adulting Has Already Been Done…..

This all started a week and a half ago. I received a text from the apartment manager that one of the two laundry rooms at the apartment complex was ‘offline’. Didn’t think much of it at the time, as I had already done my laundry, and I only need to do it every two weeks….

Fast Forward to today when I get home from work and my weekend begins. By coincidence, I get home right when the laundry room is unlocked for the day. So I immediately grab my laundry basket and get my washing done while the machines are still available.

On my last weekend, I did my major Target and Wally World runs, so my pantry is still sufficiently stocked, meaning I can skip the trip to store (I still might go, just for some Klondike bars).

But this all means is that I’ve been home from work for a little over two hours, and all my weekend’s adulting is already done….

20 Years Ago….

20 years ago, they released Team America: World Police. Wherein through the use of puppets I learned that the best way to address terrorism involves a graphic sex scene and setting Tim Robbins on fire….

‘Murica! F*ck YeaH!

Learning To Accept The Unacceptable….

Ok, the election is 3 weeks or so away. And the polls are a dead heat now. In fact it seems that some of them have Cheetos-Face pulling ahead. No, I’m not going to vote for him, but there is a very real possibility that he may end up winning the election. I do not like saying this, but this appears to be the reality. But unlike Cheetos-Face, if that’s the case, then I will accept the results. It may not be what I want, but if that’s the hand that we’re dealt, then so be it….

God Forbid.

Been Underway For A Week And A Half….

So, on the October 1st, The Anti-Christ released the .iso’s for Windows 11, 24H2. Normally I’d wait until my weekend to install it, because if I have the .iso file, then I can do a clean install. But having dealt with Windows 10 issues for all of my previous weekend (not the fault of the OS. Epic Games and Spamazon games were giving me grief), I immediately installed it. It took most the week and a half to reinstall everything, but I think I got the move in right this time. So I suppose I can actually now use the computer instead of setting it up. Though there is something to be said about life being more of the journey rather than the destination…..

What happened tonight?….

So, this past Wednesday night was my Monday (meaning the start of my work week). My supervisor gave me my assignments, and I got to work (I’m being intentionally vague here. Office politics is something to be avoided). Towards the end of my shift, I was detailed with putting some supplies away, which caused me to stay late (don’t like it, but it happens). I eventually hit my bingo, and told my supervisor I had to leave, and he agreed (bus schedules can’t be flexed). And as I was approaching my bus stop, the bus arrived early. And I missed. And then the next bus was a no-show. I got off work at 7, and didn’t get on the bus home till 10. While walking from one bus stop to another and back and forth, I notices a pain in my foot. I powered through the pain, got home, and took my shoes off. I thought I was just on my feet too much and I needed to just rest them. The next day, I was in pain all day. But I powered through it all. Got home, and went to bed.The next morning, got up, showered and realized why I had foot pain. Blisters. So I took one of my lancets and open them. Went to work, and while the foot did hurt, but it was more bearable.Got home this morning, lanced them again, and went to bed. Get up, put shoes on go to work. And as I was walking to the bus stop tonight, I realized I still had a limp.

Long story short, I called off work tonight. Sorry, coworkers….
