After yesterday's rain and blustery wind today sunshine felt like a gift. I really didn't take that much advantage of the sunshine except for a Sprint over to the market to get a roll of quarters. I was busy most of the day just piddly things- the kind of things that make life somewhat interesting. Today was chore day so I had to wash the clothes actually Melissa through the clothes in the washer and then later into the dryer and started the load drying. And then I go and dry the load a second time to make sure the whole caboodle is dry. The point being however is that I'm locked into hanging out here at the apartment until the drying is finished. I also have to manage one hour of my day for my bike ride or my arm bike workout which is 1 hour. Luckily, on the third day of my 1 hour workouts my resistance is at the third level which is the lightest. I didn't really listen to whatever is being broadcast on NPR during this workout unless it's like tomorrow when I only have to do 20 minutes working out to get to my 200 minutes for the week. So if that's the case I can often listen to one of the other broadcasts on NPR. There's a couple of really good shows of course fresh air is always available and I tried to back up their copies as well as Radio West. Radio West is good but somewhat slanted. They really do some good investigating and it's usually about something to do with Utah and one sword or another. The other large part of my day- today anyway- - is the visit from my quasi cleaning person/friend / old CNA, Gloria who does it really great job in the one hour or so that she's here. She always brings her dog star who's got some major medical issues but just hangs out around the apartment or Gloria works. We visit quite a bit during the cleaning and I enjoy your company. Like most CNAs she has a really difficult life, making ends meet and keeping her life going. I really admire these people. I get a little spooked sometimes with the current presidential Administration and all the cuts they are making to different programs and systems. A lot of these CNAs will no longer be working if that's to happen. Fortunately, I think, since I'm self-pay I'll try to keep one of these two somewhat current on trying to keep my place clean and I can't pay them very much and certainly not what they get or need from the agency work they have when they work but maybe I can keep them surviving until the current Administration quits are the whole system collapses in on itself then it's tits up for everybody that anyway. I walk in the middle of the night actually worried about the economy and for the current Administration seems to be taking the American public. I went over so many weird scenarios trying to get back to sleep I never really did. I mean if the government Falls or if there's a coup d'etat or whatever this country should just fall apart. I may have to stop listening to the news or watching the news. I think I'm becoming too paranoid of the collapse of this Union.
The reason I had to run to the market was too get quarters for my cleaning person. I don't know why I didn't remember this but I usually pay her with at least one roll of quarters and she went out of her way to let me know today that she needed quarters and I was totally out. I had a few unwrapped quarters left over from the wash which I was able to give her but I had to replace the quarters in case I needed to do anything wash wise. So, it was a beautiful day temperatures almost perfect I even worse short sleeves but I was pretty much anchored into the apartment all day maybe tomorrow will be different …
