When I'm 64

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything for so long. After scrounging showers from various places and boiling water to wash dishes old school way, we finally have water again in our house. It was over a month (and $500 dollars later), but life can get back to normal. You really take for granted having running hot and cold water at your fingertips. Plus, we froze our asses off during that time. Thank God we had heat and never lost electricity.

We are still sad and shocked about the passing of my husband's dad, but life goes on. During this time, I turned 59. It made me think that I will be 64 when 2030 rolls around. Who knows what life in this country will look like then. But I just take it one day at a time, because the days are evil.

As far as the news, I stay away for the most part. I hear things of course. My co-workers told me about the crash in DC. Once I heard the mention of Runway 33, that was all I needed to know. Whether it was real or fake, or people really died, we will never know, but there are plenty of rabbit holes to go down if you want to waste your valuable time. That is how these things roll.

My boss was all excited when he heard that Trump was going to abolish the IRS. I told him that it was just giving candy to a child before you lure him into the white van. It went over his head. You all let me know when they stop stealing that federal tax money out of your paychecks and maybe I will believe it. There are worse things...

I'm halfway through listening to this live stream from Dayz of Noah while I try to catch up on all my water related cleaning projects. So far, he sees things like I do. Now is not the time to relax and think that Elon is somehow going to save the day. If you get a chance you should listen to his take on the things going on these days.


Hope you all are well. Take care out there.
