Thread: Random thoughts of mine..

Someone in my family hates Trump with a passion and anytime I ask her why, she just says the same thing everyone else does... He is sexist and racist, he is evil and does bad things. When I ask for examples, she can't site even one. That is bad.

There is no way to reason with that, my sister is the same way. She always wants to argue about the president (she didn't vote, btw) or firearms (never held one). I'd be happy to discuss things, but since she comes into it with no substance......there's no point. I asked her once why she liked Hillary: "because she's a woman." So, I asked her how she would feel about me voting for Trump because he's a man.

They are still cleaning up the salt from her resulting rage explosion to this day.

If you think that's bad, for Christmas I got (amongst other things thank god) a Donald Trump toilet roll from a sibling. All these liberals think it's so funny, but the joke's on them! This Poundland-grade paper is so cheap, Trump's actually sanding their anuses.

Mine is the same way. She goes on and on about it being amazing to have a female president like just because she would have a vagina = AMAZING. Thankfully she hates Hillary so she does see sense there. That woman should be locked up. She is the one who should have been investigated. Instead, there were millions I am sure wasted on the "Russian Collusion"... face + palm. lol

Liberal/leftist humor isn't even funny anymore. I will admit, some of the stuff in the 90's and early 2000's was funny, I even made jokes about Bush myself but it has gotten so simple and childish that you have to be clueless to find it funny. Right up there with that Amy Shumer or whatever her name is. Horrible comedian and such a toxic woman. Bleh. I will depend people's rights to be free to express themselves with comedy so have at Trump but don't get mad when it swings the other way... Which people often get enraged over when it does happen.

So I decided to get back in better shape. I am going to eat less, exercise daily, and reduce my stress levels by focusing on positives more than negatives. I want to feel better. Some days I feel like I am double my age and that is not good. My goals are to lose some weight, clear up some medical issues, and reduce my anxiety enough to get out in the world and enjoy it again... Which I have time to achieve given what is going on right now lol

So you're able to maintain a good diet? Time isn't really a big factor in my case. It's more so having a smaller budget for food and even if I had more money for quality food, finding that most of it is out of stock. But I'm not gonna complain... I don't need the stress from diet adding to 2020's laundry list...

I am not really going on a diet, just cutting back on calories. I mean, I just had peeps like an hour ago which is pure sugar. lol

I am adding more healthier foods in but I am not being strict about cutting stuff out. Still enjoying sweets and salty snacks, just less than my norm.

My norm being binging out on like 1000+ calories of the stuff every night. It helps to go to bed earlier. I am not asleep around midnight instead of 6AM.

Give this a bump.

So 2020 has been a year. I haven't gotten much done but my better half has so I am happy about that. I have seen my site's tank in earnings and my general work load I normally see coming in month to month dropped by 70% for a few months. It picked back up a bit the last 2 months but it has been rough.

I am really looking forward to when people can just go back to normal without these masks and having to worry about where I can and can't go. I haven't been out (aside from being outdoors, in my yard) since January because of all the mask mandates. I have panic attacks and high levels of anxiety with shallow breathing so wearing a mask makes it impossible for me to feel okay. I know it sounds stupid but I am not being a Karen about it. I am not going anywhere because I know people need to wear masks.

So yeah... I just want to be able to attempt living life again. It was hard enough before this stuff started. *sigh*

I think the vaccine will be here before you know it. They've been doing this incredibly fast, but it's important to keep in mind that it could take months or even a year to get enough vaccines out for our societies to "return to normal". I wish I could give you a more optimistic reply but that's just the way it is. It's good that we do have some sort of time frame and 2021 will be far more hopeful than it could have been.

Aren't you able to go on walks to quieter places (such as parks) without a mask? At least that'd be something. Where I live the main rule is that in public spaces you must wear them indoors. Otherwise it's okay as long as you social distance.

Sorry that your sites haven't been so profitable.

I heard something about vaccines starting here, in the US, this month so that is something if true. Who knows though. I know once it is available and people who need it start getting it, people will be able to be less strict on things.

And yeah, I don't need to wear one when outdoors anywhere. I should really go to a park on a warmer day just to get out the house.
