Freshman 15

There has always been a saying that college freshman put on the freshman 15. It means that they gain 15 pounds their first semester. Now I see the Covid 19. People who ate too much in quarantine are now going to the beaches and pools and carrying around the Covid 19. Nineteen more pounds have been put on from eating junk foods while they worked at home and could not go out and carry on normal active routines.

Early Bird

It is 7am and I have done more than most people do in a day. I woke up at 5:30am and got out of bed. Why waste the day? I paid bills, balanced my checkbook, did some crafts, prepared for tomorrow’s breakfast, started tonight's dinner, read emails and am writing this entry. I will go out as soon as the stores open and get some groceries and then have a picnic lunch at the pool. I will spend the afternoon relaxing in the pool as I have no chores to take care of. Good planning.

Midway

It is hard to believe that it is midway through summer. There was no spring. Spring was just a bad memory that began with sickness and ended with hate. Summer is hanging in the balance, not knowing where to go. Sickness is lingering but not everywhere. Hate is hanging on but its hold is loosening. Autumn will be the tie breaker. It will show whether or not the changes we made lead to a better place. By the end of autumn we will see if humankind has had enough suffering to see the handwriting on the wall and make sure that the evil is tossed away for ever. 

Time

There is never enough time. This morning I have a few things I need to do. I got up at 6am and began the day. I have to leave my house by 8:15am for a haircut. I have no idea where almost two hours have gone. I still have things to finish at home. Maybe I needed to get up at 5.

More Work

Some people just create more work for others. I have never been that type of person but at work I am surrounded by them. If a patient knows they owe money each week, why do I have to call them for payment? It just adds another task to my day and in the end they still have to pay the bill. If a doctor knows he has to write a report for an insurance company, why do I have to nag him every day? I finally had enough. I told him that I would give the insurance company his cell number. Amazingly, the report was done.

Standards

What are normal standards? After 55 days of protests in Oregon, and attempts to break into and destroy a federal building, the government called out the troops. Tear gas was used and the crowd was dispersed. The federal building was saved. The governor and mayor were appalled. They feel that the troops brought violence. What?? Huh?? Fifty five days of riots and burned down property were ok, but enforcing law and order was wrong? This is not a dream, although I wish it was. This is not even about BLM or the police. This is about Socialism and the Democratic party trying to destroy the United States and win an election. This is about electing a pre dementia figurehead to use as a puppet. What am I seeing that other people are not? I want free speech. I want safety. I want law and order. That is what most normal people want. At some point you need to reevaluate your party's platform and vote for the life you deserve. Don't think of it as Democrat or Republican. Think of it as freedom of speech and safety. Every day I pass by my town park to see if the statue of President Eisenhower is still standing or the rioters have taken it down. Isn't that pathetic? I do not want to live in a world that takes away my freedom. People are so afraid of the Corona virus that they are not focusing on the Democratic virus that will endanger us all far more.

Months

A month is a month, or is it. While a month has either 28,29,30 or 31 days, the circumstance it applies to decides just how long it is. When a baby is born, a month has a lot packed into it. The changes from the 1st of the month to the 30th of the month are huge. When a person is over 90 years old, the same fact holds true. If you are 40, 40 and a month shows no difference. I am dealing with the over 90 year old, month. Things change quickly from day to day. You never know what skills will decline.
