It's Sunday evening smack dab in the middle of a holiday weekend, a three-dayer tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day, for a long time my categorized this holiday as one of the minor holidays as opposed to the majors. What little bit by little bit MLK day has built a Prestige and a following and a history letting it into the majors at least as far as I'm concerned. It's possibly from the guilty conscience of White America that this holiday to rise in prominence. I'm not seeing MLK sales for tires or anything else happening yet but I'm sure it's coming very soon. Interestingly this year MLK Day falls on the same day that Trump's going to be inaugurated to his second presidential term and hopefully his last. Everyone says he can't run again because of the two term but these term laws didn't mean a whole lot when he ran for the first time and then became a felon- again - and he ran for a second time. I know you can't be a Feeling be president. So it's kind of ironic MLK day and president Trump they will be at the same day. Really not trying to read a whole lot into it but it is kind of amusing.
As I said it's Sunday evening and I'm sitting right next to my heater trying to stay warm inside my apartment. I'm not sure what the problem is but this morning I really thought the heat was off. Luckily I had extra blankets on the bed so I didn't feel too cold during the night except that getting up was a bit of a challenge because it seemed pretty chilly once I got the covers off. And I don't know if by having my heater turned on full blast all day long if that causes a problem with the furnace not coming on that's it must be doing inside other people's Apartments as well as in the hallway. The kids came over after breakfast to strip my front door and to clean up my apartment a little bit and they noticed the hallway was warm are warmer than the apartment. But they really didn't notice that much difference in the apartment Heat so I don't know if it's just an old guy thing or what but knowing how cold it is outside I think I'm conning myself into thinking that it's also cold on the inside but I know I feel most comfortable when I have the heater going as far as it'll go heat wise and me sitting almost on top of the heater wishing that it could blow a little more heat. The biting cold temperature is brought about by a cold air mass down from Canada- at least that's what the weatherman says and that's who I rely on most on this kind of stuff. I suppose this is now what they call the dead of winter and January always does have the coldest temperatures so I'm not too concerned. Luckily this week I only have to be out in the temperatures on Wednesday so that's a comfort. I'll have a bus pick me up take me to my podiatrist who will do my toes but then I have to get back on my own. It'll be late in the afternoon by that time almost 4:00 that I shouldn't have to wait too late or too long for a bus to get back to the apartments. I'll be okay
