I worked yesterday and we were busy as hell. By the end of the shift, I was done. We came home, I made a very easy, frozen food supper, got Jack ready for bed and then I went to bed at 7:10pm. I thought I would have an amazing sleep but that was not to be. At 11pm, Jack crawled into bed with me, not sure why, and then proceeded to toss and turn until 5am when he got up. When I say toss and turn, I mean he would sit bolt upright, make a noise and then lay back down. I didn't get much sleep and I'm hopeful that tonight I will have a good sleep.
I'm dragging my ass today, mostly fatigue, but also cold weather, and the general dumbfuckery in the world. I did manage to make it to the dog park but even that was unpleasant. I'm not used to the cold yet and even with my long johns on, it was cold. The dogs however had a great time and everything was covered in hoar frost, which always makes the world look beautiful.
I need to get up and make a stew for supper and vacuum because roomba seems unable to charge. Sigh. My life is so difficult:)
The soon to be trump administration, AKA a goat rodeo.
Well, you've taught me a new term today -- "goat rodeo." Thanks, I think, lol.
ReplyDeleteI like the term goat rodeo, it seems right somehow.
DeleteIt seems so hard and unfair that part of your reality right now is the cold, cold weather.
ReplyDeleteHere's a hug.
Thanks for the hug Mary. This cold, cold weather happens every year. It's not new, just unpleasant. I'm very fortunate that I have a home and a furnace. There are over 4000 people in Edmonton living without either of those things.
DeleteSeeing that photo reminds me that I used to live in a cold place that had lots of snow. I learned a new phrase today, goat rodeo. We are sure in for a hell of a goat rodeo in the USA. With each passing day, I dread it more and more.
ReplyDeleteI dread it too, as does a large part of the world. It seems like a nightmare that just keeps getting worse.
DeleteGoat rodeo is a good phrase. I hope the collateral damage is not severe but I fear it will be. The scene in your photo is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I think the collateral damage will be severe.
DeleteGoat rodeo is an apt term. We call it a clown car with Bozo driving. That's too nice to clowns though, isn't it? These are clowns from a horror film. It's so dispiriting to not get enough sleep. That was my October with this cold or whatever it was and now the ears. I can sleep better but still not 100%. Maybe that's not in the cards at my age!
ReplyDeleteYou could also call it a shit show, or a dumpster fire, all apt descriptions.
DeleteI feel better physically today, but worse mentally. Sigh.
You would think that Dumpster would want to put some competent people in the top jobs if only to avoid sacking them later. Perhaps he thinks it is all a TV reality show so he picked a cast of dopes just to pump up the viewing figures.
ReplyDeleteGod only knows what goes on inside trumps head. I imagine one poor little hamster, hanging onto the turning wheel, but barely. Somebody needs to take away his fucking keys.
DeleteI'm so sorry about the loss of sleep on top of everything else. Thank you for posting and keeping in touch. ❤️
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for reminding me to look on the bright side.
DeleteIf only this will just turn out to be a goat rodeo and we can all watch from a distance.
ReplyDeleteI remember my daughter crawling into bed with us, tossing and turning, sticking her feet into my face, now why do I miss this????
Little kids are such restless sleepers. I also realized that he is very stuffed up and I imagine it was his stuffed nose waking him up over and over again. We both slept better last night.
DeleteI'm sorry for your rough day, and particularly your rough night. That is the worst! But you have made me laugh with "goat rodeo" - a term I hope to insert into every conversation I have in the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI like goat rodeo too. I can only imagine the sounds and the smells at a goat rodeo:)
DeleteGoat rodeo. After the shock wore off the feeling of impending doom moved in. I am sorry for what the mindless people in this country have done not only to we in the US, but to the world. The knowledge that they will regret it doesn't do a thing to help. Can you tell I'm not doing so well with happy thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing so well with my thoughts either. Fucking hell.
DeleteGoat rodeo, trainwreck, shitshow, all are appropriate terms for the coming administration. He's not gonna put any competent people in his cabinet, 'cause in my opinion every cabinet pick is a giant "fuck you" to the American people, plus thee are no competent people in his circle, they're all lunatics. He's a useful idiot for the Heritage Foundation. Love the goat rodeo picture, something about goats in trees.......
ReplyDeleteIt boggles the mind that anyone supports him.
