I really am tired of being exhausted all the time. Physically, emotionally, mentally. What the hell is wrong with me? And it’s not like I’m inactive. I walk, I run, I ride bike. I hit 10,000 steps when I reached my car at the end of work today. So, like I already asked – what the hell is wrong?
General
For use when I really don’t have time to figure out to what category the post should belong.
Supper
Supper was a bowl of cereal, a Kwik Trip carrot cake bar (meh), and potato chips with sour cream for a dip. Yup, that’s it.
Eating healthy and living the life.
School Book!
Yup, it arrived. When I ordered it I was worried I was getting some hodgepodge of varies online articles thrown together by the instructor. It said loose leaf, no used books available, not rentable. What I did get was a full-blown text book, only in loose leaf pages. It’s in a binder now. I’m looking forward to starting class on September 9th!
iPhone Camera Problems
Well, it seems that WordPress and the iPhone Camera don’t communicate well. In fact, not at all. I like to switch from Portrait to Landscape (you know, turn the phone sideways) when taking picturtes. Unfortunately, it seems WordPress doesn’t, or can’t, read the orientation information that is embedded in the photo. So, all the pictures I took sideways are showing up sideways. Anyway, instead of posting a ton of pictures all at once here on my blog, I just posted them all directly on Facebook.
I’d rather post them here. But, until I figure out how to get WordPress to show them properly, I guess it’s to Facebook I go.
Still, let me show you one.
Huh?
It’s August. It’s the middle of summer. It’s 60 degrees. Tina and I are going to Brainerd for her grandsons’ birthdays. The high there is 63 degrees. Where the hell did summer go?
Already Bored?
Trump has always struck me as a hyper active kid who gets bored with the game he’s playing before it is even half-way over. This statement in an article I’ve been reading about the new C.E.O. of his campaign seems to indicate he’s already bored with running for POTUS.
(HIVE) As smart and capable as he is, Bannon is still a political novice and thus an odd choice to run a campaign badly in need of message and organizational discipline. (He might make more sense as an executive producer of the media empire that Sarah Ellison reports Trump is eyeing as his next move, after the election.)
“Trump is eyeing as his next move, after the election.”
Explain to me again about just how serious he is in wanting to be president? He abandons most of his business enterprises just before they head south, when he can reap the most financial benefit. Just think of all the campaign contributions he is garnering. And since his financial disclosures keep changing, I’m pretty confident in saying he’s not afraid to circumvent the rules to keep money. So, any campaign finance laws in place are probably no more a barrier to him than all the other finance laws he appears to worm his way around.
Best Made Plans
Left work early to enjoy the afternoon and by the time I got home I had a headache. Think I’m going to go lay down. Don’t wreck the place while I’m sleeping.
Bad Day
All things considered, today was a sucky day. I couldn’t muster up my usual exuberance during a lecture the second half of the day. Then there was the phone message first thing in the morning at work telling me the job I interveiwed for down in Stillwater Prison was given to someone else. No amount of positive self-talk can really take away the hurt of being passed over for a job. Rejection sucks, period.
They Really Do Eat There Own
Earlier today, Nancy wrote: Trump’s hiring of [Stephen] Bannon and [Kellyanne] Conway isn’t just a signal to Republicans – it sends a message to all of us who have been watching this one closely. We’re not going to see anything new from Donald Trump. What we’ve been seeing is what we’ll continue to get. I…
via Trump Going Full Breitbart is Bad News for the GOP — Washington Monthly
From all I read, and I did read it all, the plan is for Trump to continue to attack the Republican establishment in Washington while also attempting to go to the left of Clinton on loss of jobs to overseas and immigration.
Two Notes
On a down note – I didn’t get the job I interview for last Friday.
On an up note – I ordered my college book for my first class coming up in September.
