• I hate when our plans are put off because of employees not honoring their end of our agreement.
• I hate when I see something that foments hatred and I almost buy into it and post it here.
• I hate that I have to Google things to check their accuracy before posting it here.
• I hate cold weather on Sundays. Especially in spring.
• I guess that’s all I hate right now.

Pretty minor shit really, but it still ticks me off.

The Lone Ranger was ridng the prairie one day & met an Indian on a really nice horse followed by a dog and a sheep.

The Ranger says, “Hey, Indian, that’s areal nice horse you got. Can I talk to him?”

The Indian says, “Horse no talk!”

The ranger says, “I’ll try….Hey horse, how’s it going? Does the Indian treat you good?”

The horse says, “Yea he treats me good!”

The Indian is dumbfounded.

The Ranger says, “That’s a nice dog you got, can I talk to him?”

The indian says, “Dog no talk!”

The Ranger says, “Let me try…Hey, dog, How’s it going. Is the Indian good to you?”

The dog says, “Yea, he treats me good. He’s a good guy.”

The Indian is flabbergasted.

The ranger says, “That’s anice sheep you got. Can I talk to him?”

The Indian says, “SHEEP LIAR!”

Wow, I thought for sure that they’d be #50 to fall in the gay marriage fight! Oh well, you never know what the courts will do these days. Welcome to the 21st century Michigan!

Today

Errands to run. People to annoy. Naps to take. In fact, I feel a nap coming on in about 5 minutes. I better hurry and finish this thing!

Be vewwy vewwy qwiet, I may be sleeping.

• except for the TV
• and the hum of the refrigerator
• and the store’s door chime
• and the passing cars
• and Maylou coughing
• and Whiskey scratching
• never mind

While I may be more tired later in the day than I would be if I slept better, I kinda like getting up hours earlier than the rest of the household. As long as I’m somewhat quiet, I’m free to do what I want unquestioned.

Reasons for not having a TV:

• Not having to have my shows interrupted for sports
• Not having to have my shows interrupted political bullshit
• Not having to have my shows interrupted to see the big O
• Not having to have my shows interrupted by people here (Erin?)

Will I get rid of it though? Not a chance!

Friday Plans?

• Santa Fe, again
• Make 2 new doctor’s appointments for a colonoscopy and a neurosurgeon to talk about numbness
• Schedule a lab appointment for them to remove my blood
• Dinner with Nina
• Maybe lunch with Dennis
• I might annoy the Herns and visit with Erin the Interrupter
• I’ve already had breakfast, so I can check that off the list

Yesterday I did make my last visit to Dr. Green DO. I asked him what the DO was for and while he told me, the only thing I remember was his practice included holistic medicines into the practice of standard medicine. Too bad he’s leaving. He said I was very healthy except for my weight, which was no surprise to me. He’s sending me to the neurosurgeon as a precaution because my limb will get numb while sleeping. I think it’s circulatory but he’s more worried that it’s my nerves.  The colonoscopy is probably payback for me calling him a fucker for leaving the area. I knew I should have gone with bastard instead.

Well, my day is starting. I’m going to climb a ladder now since there’s no wind. Later everyone!

It’s truly amazing what happens when you let go of all the negativity and drama. Your days become so much better and easier

• Yay, winter is over! Here in NM winter was no big deal, but the east took a beating this year.
• Here’s hoping that things even out and we all get what we need for the spring and summer months.
• Nice looking day in the forecast of today. Let’s hope she’s right today. Can’t believe a nice little Dutch girl would lie, but I think the occupation requires it.
• Erin leaves us today. I hope her bout of the flu is now over. She had a rerun of the 24 hour flu the next morning and yesterday it seemed to pass in the afternoon.
• Nina wants us to rent an apartment in Europe for a year after we finally sell this dump. Sounds like fun.
• I wonder if Erin will fit into the luggage still?
• Haboob? Who in the world would name a big wind a haboob? Must be some presidential muslim decree. Haboob my ass.
• Brother Carl heads to the Netherlands soon. Safe travels Carl.
• He and his son Zach are doing a river cruise from Amsterdam. Beth and Nancy made their trips sound so good that Carl had to try it.
• One of my favorite foods, for both breakfast and an evening snack, has been unavailable out here for quite some time. I checked on Amazon for them and found I could buy them in a case lot of 12 boxes, so I ordered a case of unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tarts for about $30. DAMN they taste good!
• The best part about them is that no one else likes them and they’re all mine! Well, maybe Erin hasn’t tasted them yet, so I may have to share with her.
• The news parrots just spent around 5 minutes talking about team mascots and they expressed dismay that the NM school’s mascots ranked at some of the worst in the nation. Morons.
• I’m going to the doctor today for a check up and we’re going to pirate this last visit with Dr. Greene to get things for ML done too. I hate the fact the Greene is leaving the area because of some asshole’s healthcare mandate. Since the ACA was implemented, Dr. Greene has been subjected to serious abuse by the recipients of this new welfare perk. He found a off network group that can still pick and choose patients in Colorado that needs a new doctor and he’s headed there next month.
• I may have to travel to CO for care in the future. Hey, great excuse to buy a motorcycle! Right?
• Marylou will shit a chicken when she finds out that Greene is leaving the area and the reason for his leaving. Can’t wait for that conversation.

Have a great day everyone! Love, peace, and chicken grease!
