MT Day 6

Whew!!! I am having issues with the video uploads. I am using my iPhone to upload videos. I send a tweet with each upload.

Today, was a good day. I had less pain and only a small amount of swelling. I am really enjoying the bike. I almost enjoy it as much as I do walking.

When working to achieve any type of goal in life, one must be able to stand strong in the face of opposition. Sometimes that opposition comes from those who love you. I had to give love and light to my mother this morning who came to me with an "emergency". Instead of stopping my routine to assist as I would have in the past, I informed her I would assist after I had completed my tasks. I am glad that I continued on my course of action. Her "emergency" was not an emergency that required me to stop taking care of self. Life lesson: Take care of the goose that lays the golden eggs first or you, the goose, will be of no use to anyone.

My playlist is still the same. I managed to wipe out most of the music on my iPhone. My rebuild of my collection is going very slow.

This morning I started out with an apple pie and a cup of coffee at McDonald's. I uploaded a video of my moment at Mickey D's. My lunch was a cup of chilli at Wendy's. My dinner will be a green smoothie (collards, banana, and apple). At the end of the day I shall have consumed less than 1800 calories. My strategy is moderation in eating and increased physical activity. In 14 days I shall add weights to my routine. I am allowing time for the current swelling to reduce before I add the weights.

At mid-day I enjoyed 30 minutes on the bike. My clothes are fitting better already. I know it is just the swelling going down but I take my victories where I find them. Mentally, I am more alert. My outlook on life is very positive and I pass that outlook to others.

As always, I thank each of you for your support. Know that I send love and light to each of you. I do ask that you keep my friends in Australia and New Zealand in your hearts and mind. I have not been able to get a response since the flooding.

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discover...

New century no time for old games

As I prepared to write my comments on the Marcus Smart/Jeff Orr incident, I noticed a grown-ass man push a chair in the path of two running children at McDs.  I moved the chair and informed the man I was helping him by preventing the children from tripping.  I informed him that if the children tripped he and I would have an altercation.  He had not one word to say to me.  Punk assed grown assed men don't fuck with grown-ups only those they consider weak.  These people are the ones who will take pics of their gun collections to post on FB or Twitter.  These are the ones who will heckle college kids with racial slurs, "go back to Africa", or "Where is your green card."  As a mother, I can only hope my example of not being a punk has become embedded in my kids.  Real strength comes from knowing who you are and not seeking to belittle others.  My thoughts on Marcus Smart and Jeff Orr are simple. Marcus don't let it get to you.  It is sad...

The words we use

Someone in the media is in hot water for calling the president a dick. In all fairness I have said worse about Dick Cheney and George Bush. Well Cheney. I do not think anyone should be in trouble for call president a dick. However I have yet to see President Obama do anything that warrants my calling him anything other than Mr. President. He has not started any unwarranted wars. He has not fought to keep the American people in financial bondage. He has worked to change the tax code to keep the American economy viable. Why would anyone call Obama a dick is beyond me. IMHO we have had people in power who were true dicks. They managed to screw the people of America and the world so badly it will take a decade to feel normal. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
