Took a nap and finally got my feet warm.
Had nightmares though. It's bad when you can't escape into your dreams.
I'll be glad when the world settles down.

I've been trying to find a spiritually oriented blog that contains evenhanded/useful information without ramming a political viewpoint down my throat OR fostering a "cult of personality" for the writer. I found one that seems to fill those requirements -- so far -- but I'll need to read more of it to be sure. I mean, seriously, if I want to be bombarded with hate, anger and "calls for action and/or justice" with a side of self-righteous indignation I can turn on the national news and get my fill and then some! What I want is "guidance". I want to learn what others have done so I don't find myself going down one blind alley after another. If I were 20-something, I'd have time for that but I'm not. I don't have time to flail around trying to find my way. So if someone more experienced has been down a similar road and has something that works for them then I have a starting point to create something that works for me. Which is all I'm looking for -- something that works or can be adapted to work, for me.

I can figure out what I believe/stand for politically/philosophically on my own, thanks. One of the few perks of living as long as I have with an introspective mindset and a knowledge of history....  Smiley

Skywise hasn't called yet but it's MONDAY and he told me as he went out the door that he didn't know when he'd be home. So I'm going to call it a night and head out.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and STAY HEALTHY!!!!  Mask ON 1

Afternoon.
We got a late start this morning due to Skywise getting home so late. Not as late as last week but... late. We got done everything that needed to be done though.
Slept but had nightmares. *sigh* Getting caught up before I get off my feet.

Looks like the "dry spell" is over. We got 1.25 inches out of the last rain with more due tonight.
According to radar, it should be here shortly.

I'm tired.
I'm tired of traitors and sellouts being lionized and held up as poor innocent victims.
I'm tired of NOT seeing them taken away in handcuffs.
I'm tired of the media making excuses for them.
I'm especially tired of brainwashed idiots believing every damned thing the media tells them.
"1984" came three decades late but it's here, at least for some people.
Yeah, I'm tired.
And disgusted.
And mad.
And if that's a problem..... deal.

Afternoon.
We're home from lunch and shopping.
Chilly and rainy today but at least it isn't snowing like hell like it is in Minnesota and Wisconsin! It's really too early in the season for THAT much snow.
Yes, I was watching the Weather Channel while we ate lunch.
Now to get caught up.... although I may regret it....

I am SO SICK of crooked politicians, their crooked kin and the "journalists" that cover for them.
I'm even sicker of those who BELIEVE that the evidence of rampant corruption -- which NO ONE DENIES -- is fake, doesn't matter or is in some way irrelevant.
IT MATTERS DAMN IT!!! It matters a hell of a lot! It needs of be rooted out root and branch and those found guilt punished to the fullest extent of the law up to and including execution if convicted of treason.
Biden is corrupt.
Hunter Biden is corrupt.
So are a LOT of politicians.
And they need to be arrested, prosecuted and when found guilty, punished.
Don't like that...
DEAL!!

Doing a couple of loads of laundry right now.  Smiley I don't want it to pile up so much that I have to spend an entire day to do it. Washing doesn't take that long. Drying takes forever!

Off Facebook for a while. The buzz around the internet is that the  Smiley is gonna hit the fan daily between now and the election with the social media platforms censoring even more than they are already. I guess they don't realize that the more they try to censor information, the more people are going to want to know what they're hiding. And you can bet that what they'll be hiding is very, very bad for their "favorite candidate".
"October Surprise" indeed...
Anyway, I'm going to check on my friends there -- provided that they don't end up in "Facebook jail" -- and look for cute pictures of cats and kittens and photos of beautiful houses. I won't be hunting obsessively for whatever will be hidden 'cause I know it will be horrible and I've always had to be careful about what I put in my head...  The Gods know I've got plenty to keep me busy between now and the election.

Just got the bill from the dentist. 
They waited until they could bill us for all four of our appointments in September. Smiley
The bill is in the hundreds.....

Smiley The results of Skywise's blood work are back.

He's pre-diabetic.  Smiley Unlike me when I was diagnosed.

At least no one is yelling:

GET IN HERE FOR AN A1C TEST NOW!!!!

Did some work on my projects this afternoon. I'm hoping to apply primer to some of the cabinet pieces tomorrow. Now, I'm going to get off my feet before I start the next round of chores.

He'll be cutting his carbs back to "my" level and he's getting himself mentally prepared to do daily glucose testing and maybe going on metformin although we're hoping it doesn't come to that. But still....  Smiley

I've been doing some research. I'm gonna have to take Skywise's snacking habits in hand.
Balancing "low carb" and "low sodium" is gonna be a pain in the butt....

Afternoon.
My provider was "down for maintenance" late last night which is why I didn't leave a "goodnight" message.
We had to make an emergency run to town this morning. Problem is taken care of but why it wasn't handled in the first place is beyond me.
Now to get caught up.

The sun is shining.... and it's thundering.
A cold front is on the way which will cause our pleasantly warm temperatures to drop like a rock. *sigh* The weather in Indiana has always be "subject to change without notice" especially during the transitions from winter to spring and summer/fall to winter and with the Eddy Grand Solar Minimum ramping up, it's gonna get even more unpredictable. Which is why I added these: Winter Shoveling out Windy Blizzard Snowblowing And there may be more. Especially if/when I find some "downpour", "flash flood" ones....

The rain has pushed through. We had thunder but I didn't hear any high wind or anything violent basically because once the damned phone stopped ringing, I fell asleep which my knees appreciated! Thunderstorm

Skywise has talked to a co-worker who has had medical training and she questioned him about how long he'd fasted before the test and concluded that his high reading was probably because he hadn't fasted long enough before the test. He later admitted to me that he'd been "nervous eating" (probably high carb saltine crackers) right up to bedtime the night before and the blood draw wasn't even 8 hours after he last ate. Since they recommend at least an 8 hour fast -- and longer is better -- before a glucose test, that's probably why he was high. He's still going to be watching his carbs more closely and I've pointed out that his cracker munching habit needs to be curtailed if not eliminated altogether!

Rant ONAfter last night's debate performance and the continuing revelations coming out about the Biden family's corruption -- the source of which is NOT being denied -- I canNOT understand how anyone with two functioning brain cells to rub together can believe that he is qualified to be elected dog catcher, let alone President.  Rant ON
