We have not had the news on at all since the election for very good reasons. We are avoiding throwing up or throwing something at the tv whenver the new Traitor in Chief is on screen. We know what's coming and we need to keep a level head. We're both a bit depressed but life goes on and we have to manage. I got two nights of decent sleep recently, if I can sleep more than two hours at a stretch I'm doing fantastic. I got two four hour stretches night before last and got four and three hours last night. I'm almost feeling human again.
Oh and I finally figured out how to get parallel/in line photos again. Have to change the 'order of operations' from the way I did before. For now this image is my profile picture on facebook, for reasons.
My knee is not as bad as it was a week ago but am still needing the brace so I don't bend it as much. It is still not happy about the world and I don't know how to fix that other than not walking on it at all. Which is impossible. And on top of all that, I just got a jury summons in the mail for next month, good news is, It's for the local courthouse in our area not the main one downtown. I am going to hold off filling out the online form until I hear from the doctor because that may impact my life and activities. With my luck, probably not but it's one of those things that you hope it does and it doesn't.
Oh, we managed to get shoes for both of us and new pants. I found a pair of slip ons in neutral colors rather than white sneakers.
I misremembered the size shoe I wear and got 10 1/2 but after wearing them for two days even wearing thin socks I recognized the toe pain from my big toe being jammed into the shoe. We still had the receipt thankfully and exchanged mine for 11's. Mens. I am wearing size 11 mens shoes, women's shoes have been out of my range and style for years.
So we are set logistically for Disneyland in 12 days. Barring anything else happening (see previous note about the doctor). Other than needing an oil change again for the car, oh yes and a registration reminder from the DMV because that's due Jan 22.
I am still ticked off at SDGE about the way they show how much I owe. The official bill says I don't owe anything and yet it shows current charges and the $32 payment. Which is the numbers from last month. It's due in three days so I can't do anything about paying it until then.
Meanwhile.... the allergies are toned down thankfully. Day and night still clear and thin air with winds gusty during the day. I have had the extra blanket on my side of the bed for a week because it gets down to the 40's at night now.
Another thing, the bathroom door knob busted four days ago. We thought Rocky had just locked it by accident and then when Jon took it apart to open the door there was a little tension spring in one of the knobs that just fell out. Busted from 30+ years of use obviously. So we contacted the manager and I explained what happened that we needed a new doorknob but Jon had the tools so just leave it by the door. Well 'Mike' just left the mechanism, can't remember what it's called but just the lock portion. I had to text the manager and tell her no, we need the entire new door knob set. He finally came and replaced it in like ten minutes tops but of course, Jon was in the shower at the time so he came out and it got done.
One of the reasons why I mention it is related to the current political situation. As I mentioned before most of the complex, including the owner is Republican and that includes Mike. So when he only left the one part my initial thought was, 'typical R type, is asked to fix something and leaves the barest minimum of what is needed thinking that will work'. When the Tangerine Traitor was asked directly if he had a plan for replacing the current 'Obamacare' plan he said he has a 'concept of a plan'. In other words, nothing. He's going to leave that up to someone else to figure out, sign his name and claim credit. Oh and supposedly the person he's putting in charge of that sort of thing is a crackpot politician that is anti-vax and medicine science denier.
We are so doomed.
