Mid January... how did that happen?

 I can't believe it is mid January already!  This week is inauguration day for President elect Biden and VP elect Kamala Harris.  A female VP!  Protests are being planned around the country as far right wing groups want to stage a Civil War 2.  For what, I have no idea.  I guess their fragile whiteness is being threatened.  President Trump has been impeached for the 2nd time, making history for something at least.  His followers think he is the best president this country has ever had.  Ha!  

Last week, I had a shift up near the Wilton mall at a new senior housing complex called The Summit.  It was a long 5 hours.  Easy, but long!  I think I'll look for something a little closer to home.  I also had my Tuesday shift at Coburg with my regular client.

The vaccine rollout of Covid in NY state is ridiculous.  It seems that millions are eligible but there aren't enough vaccines to go around.  I saw on the news how nurses in Alaska drove snowmobiles to reach people in remote villages.  I'm thinking that it is ironic how they can manage to do that, but can't get vaccines to people who live in regular cities and towns.  I'm not saying those people don't deserve it, but come on!

I got two geocaches this week, easy ones.  I went for a third but found out it is in a tunnel with a creek running through it!  It's a bit to cold for that!  Maybe if I put my waders on!  It is a CDParker cache so that explains a lot.  

We had some snow the last couple days and my car had a strange phenomenon happen to it.  The windshield developed a "snow roll".  Here are some pictures of it.

Seditious Conspiracy

 To me, this countries government seems very close to collapsing.  On January 6, a group of Trump supporters, encouraged by Trump and other political figures, stormed the Capital building in attempt to overthrow the election results.  Threats were made on the lives of lawmakers including the Vice President and the Speaker of the House.  You would think that the President would have been immediately removed from office.  Reports have come out that he was gleeful when watching rioters attack the Capitol.  Yet he still sits in the Oval office.  What kind of politicians do we have in this country that would rather see a mad man at the helm and back him in order to maintain their own positions and status?  This is not America.  This is not making "Making America Great Again", this is Sedition.  Today Trump was allowed to board Air Force One and fly to Texas to see his "wall" and to make a speech declaring that he bears no responsibility for what happened and that the speech he gave to the mob of supporters in DC was appropriate.  I don't think this country has been so low since the Civil War.  I'm just disgusted.

Happy New Year!

 So glad 2020 is over.  What a year.  Such upheaval in this country and the world.  A global pandemic, a corrupt government, a failed president.  

I am fully recovered from the tree on the house incident.  I do still have bad dreams about being stuck inside a really run down old mobile home and I think my apartment was just a dream.  I am still in my apartment and happily so.

Winter is upon us and I hope it goes by quickly.  It was ushered in with a first storm with 3 feet of snowfall!  Just flurries on and off since then. I am not a big fan of winter.  I don't like being cold.

A bit of issues with work.  I took on a couple for clients who are just plain old strange.  The wife is a heavy smoker and after the first day of being with her chain smoking, I told the office.  They told her she can't smoke when I'm there.  She is also on oxygen!  Anyhow, I've asked the office to see if they can find someone else to take them.  The hours are 8-1 and I despise getting up early!  There is another client living in Coburg village that I have started with.  I like her very much.  Office asked me to cover the couple next week and I agreed.  I know they like me and want me to stay, but the hours... I guess I can just suck it up.  It's only two days a week and not back to back.  They are only a few minutes away as well.  They have also told the office that they like me and want to keep me!

This year I want to travel.  Take a few weeks and go.  Camp out of my car as much as possible.  I would like to see the southwest.  I would also like to see the northwest.  This country needs to get it's act together and fight this pandemic!
