Outside my window… 73 and sunny

I am thinking…  I could sleep all afternoon if there was a chance

I am thankful for…  the fires here to be ending

From the learning rooms …  4 more classes and psychology is over already!

I can't believe . . . Outlander S3 starts Sunday!

From the kitchen . . . Brats and beans tonight

I am wearing…  my jammers

I am creating . . . not much at the moment.

I am going. . .  to see the pain mgmt. doctor on Friday

I am reading. . . the 1^st two books in the Knightsbridge saga by Ken Follett.

I am hoping…  our unclaimed property gets processed

I am hearing…  Dr. Who reruns.

Around the house… 2 dogs and boy

One of my favorite things… Outlander!!!

A few plans for the rest of the week…

1.   Email one of the attorneys

2.  Get the dinner ready

3.  Relax if I can.

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing:

WHO IN THE NAME OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY WOULD MAKE THIS????

I've been known to create strange dishes, but my god. Spaghettios jello with Vienna Sausage? 
It's just WRONG. Wrong. Wrong.

I never made Spaghettios for my kids because they smelled like puke. 

Some one thinks this is a wonderful idea. Even in all my years as a bringer of dishes to countless Lutheran potlucks, and eater of the same; did I ever encounter something so disgusting as this. 

WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!



PS it's raining! I am so happy. 

Harvey

We've got relatives in Beaumont and Conroe. I've got good friends in Houston proper and in Alvin. All of them have been impacted by this storm. They are pumping sump pumps, have their cars full of gas and ready to leave at a moments notice. My in-laws in Beaumont have 2 generators and have been pumping their pool out because after 18" of rain over night it has overflowed. My friends have spotty internet and power outages. They said last night was one of the worst storms with thunder and lightning and pouring rain that they have ever experienced. 

I hope against hope that the agencies involved in disaster relief will have enough funding and outreach to be able to cope. Will the president, who signed disaster paperwork on Friday, let the funds loose to help people who will have medical problems due to the flooding.

When the waters recede, it's not going to be possible to live in those homes without tearing everything out down to the studs, if that. I am sure that there will be a lot of jobs for the building trades, but where they will live is another thing. Where the residents will live, like the aftermath of Katrina, is a huge problem. The trailers provided by FEMA were poorly constructed and had lingering chemical problems. 

This is the time to pull together. This is the time to rise above the things that have divided us. Whether the current administration can actually provide leadership is in question. We'll see after Tuesday when the president visits San Antonio. 

In the meantime, don't just send prayers, send money to Disaster relief agencies like Red Cross, Lutheran World Relief, Episcopal Disaster Services and any NGO that is working to provide help. Contact TIDE and ask them to being their washer and dryers on flatbeds to TX.

More hate from here and abroad.

RIP to the 13 dead in Barcelona.  Prayers for healing for the injured.

Today POTUS tweeted something about General Black Jack Pershing that was debunked. I seriously think he's never read a history book, but he gets a hint and looks things up on Wiki, to bolster his lies. 

I fear the Republicans are way too scared of their shadows to stand up and fight against the spewing crap that comes out of the mouth of POTUS. His aides can't even get his phone or tablet of whatever he is using to Tweet out of his possession. 

Hate is a pervasive and insidious tactic of enemies. When I started to work for the government, I pledged to "Protect and Defend the Constitution against all enemies Foreign and Domestic". Somehow I feel that POTUS didn't take his oath seriously. 

Well, my blood pressure is going up. I'm going to end and go look at pictures of puppies on the internet. Or maybe doctors popping cysts, or airplanes trying to land in crosswind situations. Gotta be better than this. Or I can read the chapters I'm going to teach tomorrow night so I can add notes to my lecture.  Or drink a cold beer and say to hell with everything and watch Outlander reruns. 

Bye, the sad and pissed off bunny. 

Disgusted

I watched the news today. 
I am ashamed that we have a President who can't call a white supremacist a domestic terrorist. One person has died because of the fanaticism that he has instigated by his speeches and his rhetoric. 
Before he drops bombs on North Korea he'd better clean up his own house and denounce the violence in Virginia. 

I am so upset. We need a leader who will condemn the violence, speak strongly against hate and enrich the country not his own pockets. 

The very angry Bunny. 

Up-date. . . . . .

Finally saw Beauty and the Beast all the way through. It was a nice movie. Also saw Guardians of the Galaxy 2, which I thought was awful dark. Good music though. We're watching KONG:Skull Island tonight. I've seen it before. And of course I've got seasons of Doctor Who on the DVR.

Teaching is going ok. Have a class that do interact and talk. That is nice.

Daughter is here visiting and schmoozing and doing her thing. Gonna miss her big time when she goes back to Chicago. Talking on the phone and Facetime just don't do it.

Tomorrow I'm making Applesauce Pork Chops. Never made them before.

Still no health insurance. Am using Good Rx Gold for my meds. Cutting the prices way down.
It's a good deal. Don't know how they do it, but it's a good option for people. Cheaper than a co-pay in some instances.

Not much else to say. Still depressed. Still tired of fighting the DOL for approvals and medication.

Peace out.

The bunny.

10 weeks of Friday Nights!

Back to teaching the psychology module for the tech college. I wish he'd let me teach communications again. I loved that class. So I'm busy redoing the syllabus and getting my self into teaching mode. 

I have to order a couple of things from Amazon, will do that tomorrow. The sad thing is that about 3 weeks ago I got into a cleaning mode and I cleaned out all my old paperwork. But this is ok, I'm going to approach it with a different outlook. 

So I'm excited about this, as well as September 10th, Outlander starts and preseason football starts in August. Life goes on. 

Peace.
da bunny.

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing:

The pier at Hermosa Beach CA

Ya-hoooooooooooooo

Will you still need me?

Will you still feed me,

When I'm 

Identical letter

I just received an identical letter to the one I got yesterday from Covered CA regarding health insurance. To say I am bewildered is an understatement. They say within 10 business days someone will contact me. Okey dokey artichokey. 

As it gets closer to the 4th of July the idiots in the 'hood are starting to fire off big ole fireworks. We aren't talking about people who stomp the ends of Piccolo Petes, we're talking mortars. Though they light up the sky with sparkles, they also make my dogs psychotic. When you're holding a 55 lb German Shorthair pointer next to you as she shivers....I don't know. 

12 days from now I will be 64. Doing ok for an old broad. 

Am counting down the months till Outlander comes back. I have read all 8 books and am waiting anxiously for #9.  This is one of my favorite stills from it. I love the teasing look. 

In the meantime have a good start to summer. 

Peace

More confused than ever

I got a letter from Covered CA and it's made me more confused than ever. We'll see how this comes out. If something happens to me and I need a doctor, I'll go to the hospital and wait for care. 

CNN is showing the Congressional Baseball Game. I tried Cspan but they have no audio. After the events of yesterday, it's nice to see them playing well together. Now Trump is talking. 

I've got my prescriptions to fill and will do the first one this weekend. Then one every week after that till they are all done. 

Bye for now. 

Wahhhhh

The County called me a couple of days ago and wanted to know if my worker's comp was temporary or permanent. I'd say after 14 years, it's permanent. Maybe I'll get health insurance. Need to get my RX refilled. Will check on Good Rx to see where the best prices are. 

I see the ortho on Monday. I was not pleased with the Pain Mgmt guy. 

June gloom abides like the Dude. 

Saw my mom, lots of changes going on at church. Some good, some????

Took me 4 days to get over whatever I had, food poisoning is the main culprit. It will be a cold day in hell before I go back to that place. My dear husband loved his dinner, I shat mine out like an explosive charge. We did have different dinners though. I had 1/2 chicken, salad with oil and vinegar, and 4 small dolmas. He had gyros and a chicken kabob.

This has been a long depressing week.
