MarianJack's JournalI reached a decision today to which the Covid 19 only partially contributed.
I'm going to be 65 in mid June. I'm overweight, diabetic and have high blood pressure, all of them managed by medicine and not acting like an idiot. I also have been in recovery from alcoholism since 1/14/90.
I started collecting my Social Security at 62. For the past couple of years I've been a substitute teacher a couple of day a week. Obviously there hasn't been any subbing for the past few weeks. I just decided today (much to my wife's relief) that I am fully retired. My wife earns a good living in a job she loves, I get a decent SSDI payment every month. Nobody is going to look at our bank account and mistake us for the Romneys, but we'll be ok.
I had been planning on subbing for a couple of years more, but today I just asked myself "why?"
I couldn't give myself a decent answer, and so now it's time. My mom lived until almost 85. My father until almost 94. My sister will be 76 on her next birthday. Given family history I should be around for a while. There are a lot of things I can do to keep myself occupied and I intend to do them.
I'm very at peace and relaxed with this decision, so it's final.
Thank you for allowing me to share.
Of course, as always, Donald Trump is an idiot and an ass hat.

I'm an overweight retired diabetic with high blood pressure who will be 65 in June.
In other words, the Corvid virus has pinned a big target sign to my puffy dimpled Irish ass.
I went to a doctor's appointment today and then to pick up a few groceries.
After I got home, my wife, who is a young sprite in her mid 50s, and my soon to be 20 year old son and I have agreed that my big ass (and I have a BIG ass) is staying right here in the house until this shit is OVER.
I don't care that Dolt45 said that everything will be back to "normal" by Easter. His primary concern (as I've stated before) is that he wants to make sure that the Easter Bunny puts lots of goodies in his little basket because he lied and said that he's been a good boy.
I can, if I tried, think of a time or two that I complied with something that Dubya wanted us to do. I will do NOTHING at he behest of Donald J Trump.
I've been using #notmypresident since he was sworn in. I will never use "President" as an adjective before the proper noun "Trump" in reference to HIM.
I will use a term that my mother used in the later years of her life.
If God spares me until Election Day, I will be at the polls at opening time so that I can be one of the first people in my town to cast a vote to kick his puffy "239" pound ass OUT of our White House.
While I rarely wish ill on anyone, I wish nothing but misfortune on he and his equally miserable offspring. As far as I'm concerned, they can all go and piss up a rope.

A question about Dolt45 wanting the country to be "open" by Easter.
How many of you think he's anxious for the Easter Bunny to come and leave lots of yummy goodles in his little basket because he's been such a GOOD boy?
How many of you want to barf at the thought?
As always, Donald trump is an idiot and an ass hat.

I saw that Dolt45 is claiming to be a "wartime president."
The funny thing is that I believe that he goes to war with all of the McDonald's "food" that he gets Chris Christie to fetch for him.

RESIST!
If you watch TV,...
...what will you have on during Dolt45's address?
For me, Family Feud reruns on the Game Show Network.

Dr. Jill Biden
I've said it before and I'll say it again now.
Dr. Jill Biden is the personification of charm, grace and elegance to go along with her major brain power.
AND...she knows Joe Biden "up close!"
Might I also add that we now know that if anyone attempts to trifle with her husband she is quite willing to and capable of giving that person a big ol' kick in the arse!
I can't wait for her to be our FLOTUS.
RESIST!
Tonight I, as an up to today Amy Klobuchar supporter I say one final time...
GO Amy Klobuchar!
#AmyforAmerica
And now I will follow the lead of the woman whose lead I had hoped to follow for the next 8 years and say that tomorrow in the Maine primary I will vote for VP Joe Biden.
I'm Ridin' with Biden!
RESIST!
