I've been here for years

It sucks having to wake up early to drive Erica to work when I have the day off. Much earlier today we were drinking coffee and watching the news, trying to wake ourselves up. There were two overpaid economists in a high dollar suits arguing whether or not we were currently in a recession. Let me ask this question....who gives a flaming shit? Perhaps we are in a ‘recession’. Perhaps we are not. So let’s go on TV and waste valuable time discussing what is the proper word to call the economy.

If it IS a recession, gas is over four dollars here. If it is NOT a recession, gas is still over four dollars here. The price of a can of tuna has doubled in the last month regardless of whether or not it’s a recession. Even Ramen and Cheap Beer (official sponsors of SomedaySeattle Enterprises LLC) are not cheap anymore! Call it what you may, the economy is absolutely dreadful.


Call it a recession. Don’t call it a recession. You can call it a ‘downward economic turn’. You can call it ‘we are doomed’. For all I care you can call the current economic status ‘your fathers mustache’. It makes no friggin’ difference which label you apply.

Hear me out…. Instead of wasting time on what to call this....howzabout doing something to fix the bloody problems. I’m going out on a ledge here but I imagine more people would appreciate prices becoming manageable more than some yokels in suits patting themselves on the back and declaring “we have figured out what to call this economy!”

manipulating the fates

Today through Sunday I have to go up to the Da Olda Sista’s house to feed her doggo. I don’t mind too much. It kind of sucks that it’s a 30 mile drive to her house and then 30 miles back. I have to make the trips based around Erica and my work schedules. Sista is up in Virginia for a few days at her son MatMan’s place. He and his wife are off to vacation somewhere.

I have to drive to the sisters house to feed her dog....because she drove to her sons house to feed his dogs! They did not have the forethought to book the dogs in a boarding facility.

What makes that even sillier is that Mat & Jen own a dog boarding facility!!! Lol. They have been booked solid for weeks and did not have any room to leave their dogs at their own facility. That’s a good damn problem to have. Except for me. I have to schedule 3 60 mile jaunts over the next three days. I am the lowest rung of this trickle down economics system.
