Rainy Day Ruining my Vibe

Well so much for beating the rain today. It beat me today.

No way was I going to go outside in this mess.  I did go outside to the store and that was bad enough.  I kept refreshing my weather screen to see if it would end soon.  No and no.  Damn.  I got out to do some ShopKicking and get some steps in any way I can get it.  The rain came down hard and as long as I didn't hear any thunder clapping, I didn't care.  I'll conquer that hill tomorrow.

I see that I should maybe replace my current Adidas sneakers this week when I'm off.  I could feel some wetness creep through my shoes and normally shoes like that have a life span of 6 months.  I'm going on about two years and that's normally how long I keep shoes like that!  It's a dark green and works well if you don't know if you might accidentally step in dog poop.  Insert the eye rolling emoji for that last comment.  I looked online and of course the ones that appealed to me looked insanely priced.  I know, if they are comfortable, I can suck it up for price and I don't really go to Kohl's very often so my credit card won't laugh if I use it.  I'll have to "gasp" go into the store and try some on.  My worst nightmare.  I ordered a half size too big for Adidas and it didn't work.  I tried to make it work during Covid because I didn't want to go into a store and I just felt like some sloppy toddler walking around in mommy's shoes.  It was too late for me to return the shoes.  Yeah. I got to try on the damn shoes.  At least I can do it myself and not have a pushy salesperson try to throw more shoes at me.

I see that Trump is going to blame the Jewish people if he doesn't win.  Well where do I send the thank you cards to all the Jewish people in America if that's the case?  I don't like it when he brings up a group like that because then that gives his band of deplorables (Hillary was too kind with her words) the right to target a group of people and make their lives uncomfortable.  I am so tired of that freak and his band of jerks.  I watched From Russia with Lev yesterday morning and I watched the last part where Lev talked to Hunter Biden.  I wish Joe would pardon his son.  He's a recovering drug addict.  He's not Matt Gaetz for crying out loud.  Hunter got dragged through the mud.  He is a flawed person.  His early life did not start out so well with him and Beau getting into that car accident that took their mom and baby sister.  Then losing his brother. It's not an excuse to be a drug addict.  It's his story and what he has done has not made him a bad person.  That was the best part of the documentary.  Very interesting.

I finished Kara Swisher's Burn Book.  She is a fantastic journalist. I saw her on Bill Maher's show one day talking about her book and I downloaded it.  I don't read too many books on my Kindle since well, I lost it to my mom - that's ok, so I read on my iPhone, which is maybe not the best idea for my tired eyes.  I think it took me a few months to get through it. Not because Kara is boring, but because well, I've been tired. 

I told my mom that I would take her to Goodwill to look for a cane.  She's ok, but she gets hip soreness.  If she can't find one there, she will order one off of Amazon.  It seems to be a weather thing.

I am hoping that is the same with my damn left foot.  Still a little sore.  Years ago, I also fractured the tip of my left pinky toe.  I don't even want to tell that story.  No way.  It happened in summer which is not a shock.  It seems like when the weather is rainy or humid, I feel it more in that foot.

Here's hoping the rest of the week has sun. I got some hills to climb.  I am feeling good today so I'll forgive Mother Nature this time.
