Well, breaking up is hard to do. Instead of being absorbed into China and assimilated and our genes slowly annihilated the US has put up a fight. Let’s go. Time to wake up and push back. Sure it will get sorted. You know it will hurt for awhile but in the long run it’s better for us both. Wide spread panic but eh’ I feel like we’re going in the right direction. “Why would you break up with Tyrone? Just give him what he wants and let him beat you once in awhile Patricia! If you stand up to him it will only get worse!” Victim mentality isn’t how you run a country, although a country with every political person on the take is pretty much what we had transmogrified into. I feel like they will work things out and we’ll go back to a good trade relationship, that is to say I’m optimistic.

Today the sewer leak at the road saw two Mallard ducks inspecting it – possible nest site? No, female mallard decided to keep looking.

Bought a smoker BBQ and had a nice cookout. The damn thing doesn’t get hot so it dries out the food and tans it into a dried out hunk of jerky rather than properly sizzles. However because it uses wood pellets I think I can smoke some meats!

I’m still low-carb and going more and more carnivore. I’m trying to ween off coffee.

I went on a bicycle ride this week and we’ve been planting bamboo. I’m still really fatigued although it’s a modicum better than before.

I’ve had the urge to paint and do a lot of things lately so I think things are turning around for me.
