Monday - afternoon

As usual, the only day off per week doesn't fit well. 2 days off minimum. Here we go with another 6 day week.  Another driver is off on vacation - he takes a lot of them and they aren't short in nature.  He hasn't been in the company a lot longer than me in terms of vacation pay, he's a nice guy so whatever. He's getting up there beyond my years in age and has been going through chemo treatments, another, oh, let's cut him some slack moments.

Welp, Hegseth is apparently headed towards and impeachment vote and apparently some Republicans don't like him and want him out. The sentiment is that there is a real possibility that he could be impeached/removed.  They're blaming Hegseth for Trump's decisions? This makes no sense to me.  And what do the left and right Hegseth haters think is going to replace him, some sort of person that loves lefties?  He's acting on the will of the President, that's it.  Impeach Trump again, lmao, I'm sure that'll get far.  

Sure, they can impeach Trump again, but there aren't enough votes to remove him.  Perhaps this is why they are targeting Hegseth, they CAN possibly remove him and it would be some sort of triggering agent for the left to declare some sort of victory! It is amazing how much energy they have wasted on targeting Republicans instead of ACTUALLY making this nation a better place to live.

But, Democrats are the party of a powerful, centralized federal government, wanting to increase the numbers of justices on the SCOTUS so they can bypass the constitution, absolutely enamored with taxation! The more the better! Their ideology is the antithesis to what the patriots who founded this country envisioned and really, led this country into at least initially.  I mean, I may lose sleep but it isn't over this stuff.  They're going to do what they're going to do and I am powerless to stop them from doing it.

The voters voted, they want communists and socialists.  They'll eventually regret that decision but by the time they actually see what's happening? It will be too late. 

A certain religious sect and socialism are taking over this country.  That's it. It is by design and they are making great progress at it, I'll give them credit for that.  

Woke up a little early this morning, looked at the clock and realized not worth trying to go back to sleep for 20 minutes worth. But, I DID sleep pretty well otherwise.  

I'm still on Keto and probably will be for  a long time. I'm down 34 pounds now sitting at 207 pounds.  I had a thought:  why not see how far I am from getting back into 34's?  Waist size, blue jeans that is.   I was almost shocked that I actually fit into them.  A little tight and not quite there yet, but it wasn't a stretch to button them up! 

Long ago, I was at 32's.  I don't have that goal now, it's really skinny and I doubt I'll ever get back there but then again, I don't necessarily want to be that skinny.  34's, fitting comfortably, would be good and would have me below 200's weight.  I'm only 7 pounds away from that 200 mark!  That would be a psychological booster to get there sometime soon.  

Work was relatively easy - tho there was a greater concentration of idiotic driving and most notably, people sitting at green lights after they switched.  Like for several seconds, I honked once but I sort of regretted it. The horns are on the side of the truck a little below head level for people in the driver's seat of a car. And there was someone sitting right next to me, innocent bystander that had to have the shock and awe of literal train horns blaring into their skull. 

At least it got the first place driver in the turn lane moving.
