Thanks Consumers! Got an urgent email from Consumers Power that, oh no, my next bill is jumping $40 and I need to take notice and contemplate some radical action. Well, geniuses of CP; 1) the weather is colder; 2) your prices keep going up and, this is scarey; 3) I have a rogue robot Nest Thermometer that likes to program itself when it feels a breeze (always upward that is). Yes, I've programmed it from scratch, so has Kristen, but it continues to do it's own thing apparently.
At the lake Monday putting away the Halloweenie lights and stringing up the Christmas lights at the lake (oh yes we did). Sadly putting away the summer furniture and winterizing the boat. Sigh.
Had our boosters this week Yay! Dealt me a miserable two days of yuck - not so yay. The OH was fine, no issues. I was down and out with fever and general yuckiness. I found that starvation diets or fasting certainly works. Couple of days of nausea results in three pound loss-though I would not recommend it as a ongoing thing as I suppose you would eventually die, I guess. Almost made 100 degree fever! Which after not being at all sick for almost 2 years due to our new sterilzing habits, it was kind of a whole new thing. At any rate do I have some butt-kicking anti-bodies or what? Grandson getting his first shot next week and Nana is relieved that he is finally going to be protected, though he is good about wearing his mask.
Political Rant -- I knew this before but it is so frustrating that our congress folks are tied to their big contributors and the little people (i.e., the folks who actually pay taxes that fund the whole shebang) have no chance of being heard. One Senator said she has no idea what the people want -Waa? When your ears are plugged with contributions from big Pharma I guess you could say that. So what the H are these people running on? And how dumb are the voters that apparently they don't know either. That one or two folks can hold up any progress, which then gets blamed on the President, is ridiculous. And discovering that current congress people were actively recruiting for the January 6 insurrection and are not being held accountable is unconscionable. Oh yes, and condeming those of your party who gave a crap about the citizens and voted for infrastructure that is purely bi-partisan and of ASSISTANCE to the whole country is mind-boggling.
Joe tried to emulate Superman and found gravity had a say in his activities according to the story from school. End result was wind knocked out of him and an-almost one eye shiner. He's pretty upbeat about it though. I told him Nana had a similar incident at about the same age when I tried to catch a ball while leaning off the top of the bleachers on the playground. Head in contact with blacktop-no soft wood chips for me. I do remember seeing two of my teacher which got me, finally, sent to the office and then home. Though I have no idea how I got home. I swear I walked the 6- 8 blocks, but I can't imagine they would let me do so after a head injury. But the 50's were not as litigious as they are now and we did not have a second car for Mom could come and pick me up. I do remember her chatting with my doctor who just basically said keep her awake and be sure she doesn't start talking in tongues. Apparently the "walk it off" medicine was alive and well. At least I wasn't dosed with that nasty Vernors. (Detroit kids)
Joy of joys. At 69 years, 11 months and 24 days I was carded trying to buy wine. I was pretty bold about my right to choose and bear booze. Oh happy day.....Peace Out
