So my ex-wife took my son golfing yesterday with her bestie, then they went to dinner and went to her bestie’s house. She then dropped him back off last night. This morning (on my birthday) her bestie called me and told me her sister, brother-in-law, and nephew were all confirmed positive for COVID and they were together the previous night, with her nephew sleeping over. So now my son was to quarantine, I’m on vacation this week and will have to quarantine, and we will go for tests later this week. ...

In 2018 around the time of the primary elections I started to sour on Facebook. My Twitter account had been dormant for almost 2 years. More and more I started to get upset by the posts on FB. Peoples views and opinion were being expressed more every day. It was becoming a political hotbed. I instantly grew tired of the posts that weren’t memes, and that didn’t make me laugh. I thought, “Why would you people post that shit here and ruin a fun place?” ...

That is all.

If not, go fucking vote!

So here we are, in the week leading up to my 44th, with an Eagles win at home against Dallas. Gonna get a few hours OT for Christmas money. And the big one; Election Day in 2 days. So far, so good. Just hope to ride this thing out and get the best gift I’ll ever get. tRump voted the hell out.

The election is so close I can almost taste it! One week from tomorrow. 5 days before my birthday. The single, greatest gift I ever hope to be given. A loss for tRump. ‌ It’s true, I was a Bernie guy. But Biden will do. He has 8 years experience in the White House. He’s got some decent plans for his term. And this country won’t survive another 4 years of a reality TV show with no direction other than self-dealing and corruption. ...

That’s right, it’s now officially the Trump virus. Good for the asshole.

After three and a half years, I’m back to where I started. Working Thursday and Friday as my 2 weekdays. Simon finally went to days and with Tim and Chris both working Monday/Tuesday the end of the week was a tad light on workers. No terrible, but I’ll get used to it. I can watch the 2 primetime football games, and John Oliver. So there’s that I guess. Oh! And Jamie is back. As a tech on 3rd shift. For now. I still want that damn day shift spot. I can only hope for Simon to get fired or quit. Shitty, I know, but it’s been three and a half years! I want my weekends back!!! ...

So in other news besides 200,000 dead: Mason is slumping in baseball. Ford is actively dying. We’re very shorthanded at work and I’m pulling extra shifts. And now Mason will be staying with me indefinitely because Amanda’s neighbor is mentally ill and threatened to kill her, basically. Neat! Oh! And my axle boot is torn and leaking grease. Groovy! Best news I have right now is that Simon is finally going to day shift on September 14th! ...

So, 51 days later and we’re still fucked. Still rocking masks, still coveting hand sanitizer, and still dying from COVID. Schools are about to open. Jesus H. Christ. Baseball is about to start back up, even as MLB shut down after 3 days. But I did score a brand new Mi Band 5 fitness tracker. Sweet. It’ll be good for the bike rides Susie and I are doing now. Scared as hell for school to start in a month! They have a plan; I’m not convinced. ...
