Saturday, February 5th, 2022 10:55 amI have to stop reading the Guardian, not merely for its TERFery, but because it keeps announcing the imminent demise of Boris Johnson's political career, much as it keeps announcing the imminent demise of Trump's, and I believe neither will actually happen. Please prove me wrong, but this is serious Teflon/ Green Bay Tree time.
On the domestic front, nothing but disaster. Large domestic is a convoy of COVID vaccine-mandates protesting truckers who block ambulances, steal from homeless shelters, harass store clerks who wear masks, piss on monuments, and disrupt residential areas at all hours of the day and night. Small domestic is my furnace filters being delivered in an unusable condition, me ordering new ones in the wrong size, and me having to order again.
Then I was adjusting sofa cushions and knocked the lamp from the side table. Broke one of the figures on it and shorted the bulb. Picked it up, got bulb out, put in second last of my remaining trilights, turned it on, and bulb blew. Fetched lamp from bedroom, put on table, lamp's shade is so dark that a 100 watt bulb doesn't give enough light to read by. Can't get shade off old lamp to swap over because obviously something got bent when it fell. Shouldn't be reading on couch anyway because I still can't get up off chairs without both knees screaming at me. I swear my knees were in better shape six weeks ago than they are now, because then I didn't have to do fifteen minutes of stretching to get my operated knee to bend and take my weight.
Cell phone absolutely refuses to charge so I keep it turned off in case of emergencies. And it snows just enough that no one sees the need to clear their sidewalk so I can't get down to the store on Bloor to get a new cable or even a new phone. Bah humbug.
