Election Day 2024

Saturday I woke up a little bit in a haze. I had a little more wine than I’m use to drinking these days. I got up and wiped together a breakfast pizza with sausage, eggs and cheese with a country gravy mix as the sauce. It worked and I delivered it to Yvette and the kids. We all ate some. After that I ran to my moms, walked the dog, his the store for some dinner plans and took a shower to make myself presentable.

That afternoon we went to the RamJam. It was a beautiful day for it. The weather was ideal. Oddly, not a lot of people were around. I guess they were afraid it would rain. It never rained. We had some drinks, free food, people watching fun and just all around good time. Only one more left and we will have to wait until next year. So sad.

Sunday was the time change. I had to turn the clocks back. It will take me a while to get adjusted. It always does. It gets dark so early!!! We had a very lazy morning. I made breakfast and we just lounged around. I took my time putting away all my Halloween decor. I had that it’s already over. Makes me a little sad every year.

We went over to her folks house for a little lunch. Spaghetti and salad. I was honestly pretty full when all said and done. Breakfast was kind of late so I didn’t need much to fill my belly. It was good food as always. After eating we ran to both Sam’s and HEB. We both needed some bulk items, mainly water and coke. I found I can also snag my keto bread at Sam’s for much cheaper that I have been getting it. It’s white bread rather than wheat but oh well. Worth trying. Hate how high keto items cost. I’m not going it for a diet, I am diabetic and need it. After our shopping excursion I grilled us some lunch for the week, chicken breast and sausage. That done, it was off to my mother to visit and use her hot glue gun to fix one of my favorite Halloween pumpkins I broke trying to put away. It was a nice easy fix and an enjoyable visit. So happy she is doing well.

Monday. It was a slow long day made much worse because of the time change. Bloody time change. I did what I could to pass the time. No one seemed to be doing anything which made it hard for me to do anything since I was the buyer for the week.

“The Empty Man”. I had been wanting to watch this but never made the time. I will say I rather liked it. It was… weird. An evil entity and a rich cult that follow it. Missing teenagers. A down and out ex detective. I like how it never allowed itself to fit into a form. It jumped when you thought you knew the direction it was going. It had some truly creepy moments. One of those lost forgotten films that suffered from obscurity due to the pandemic. Shame, it worked and I think with time when more find it it will become talked about.

Tuesday was Election Day. I was happy to leave all the bullshit behind us. I dislike one much more than the other. The damn Orange Man. Either way, we as a country have some serious problems. I voted early so on E-Day I just kept my head in the sand. I didn’t want to hear about a damn thing. Fuck all that. I really think it’s unhealthy to always be thinking about politics.

I guess America wanted The Orange Man. It is what it is. I find in unbelievable that a felon has won the presidency. A man that has already proven to be unfit. What is reality anyway? This sure doesn’t feel like it. I just personally can’t stand the man. I have no idea how anyone likes him. This man is always referenced with religion while this man that is an abomination to all the lord stands for. I grew up in the church and it’s an insult to me when I see anything bible or religious related in the same sentence as Trump. This man is a walking sin. When judgment falls upon us he will try to buy his way out of hell.

I can’t stand seeing or hearing him. He looks constipated all the time and his incoherent bullshit vitriol is infuriation. For Christ sake, the man cusses during his speeches. How professional. Don’t get me wrong, both parties are a mess, but no way in good conscience could I live with voting for that disgusting man. No offense to those that love him. I don’t see what you must see. I just wish the slimy piece of trash had crawled back into the swears where he belonged.

Thursday we were almost done. Friday Eve. Great colleges to work. The free lunch was a bust. They ran out of food. Yvette and I got our blankets. The poor girl was hurting. A migraine came on and it became full on by around 3. I gave her a ride home on the pleas from her boss to get her home. I was brining her ice cream hoping to make things better and she approached me. I had hoped she was feeling better. Migraines are terrible. I’ve only had a few, thank god.

That evening we finally had rain. I was at HEB getting so Aleve for my back and ran into Tee. He was grabbing some sausage for Yvette. He said it was coming down outside. He wasn’t lying. When I left it was freaking pouring. !!! I was so happy. The sound of thunder. The sight of lightning. Love it. It was so dark. I could listen to the rain all day. It was especially special because I laid a little sod as an experiment. Hope that rain water does me well.

Friday morning I woke to 4.8 inches of rain and counting. Crazy. I imagine I will have some yard clean up come the weekend. Friday was busy as one would expect after a rain like that. Things happen. I was happy with it. I was sad no Yvette on campus. It’s nice to see her at work on my breaks. She was till feeling under and had a doctor’s appointment at 11 that morning. The day sure did move though.

After work I picked up Yvette’s meds from the pharmacy and hung out for a little while. I played peek a boo. I just found out that you NEVER change your voice during the game or you risk frightening them. I do not know these things. I felt bad. I love that girl.

I went to my moms to have dinner and we watched a movie that I have seen a few times. The Fall Guy. It’s just good clean fun. It was a nice mellow evening. Happy Friday!!
