Growing evidence

Lately there is growing evidence of a pedophilia ring at the highest levels of our government. To include President Obama and the Clintons. 

This goes far beyond some minor conspiracy theory. Code words being used by Podesta and his associates. (He was Hillary Clinton's campaign manager and long ties to the Clinton family for decades.) Some "performance artist" who does things related to the occult and pedophilia related subjects. Businesses using symbols for pedophilia on their signage. Several businesses directly related to Obama, Clinton and Podesta all merely yards apart. Artwork graphically depicting abuse of children which is absolutely unmistakable and cannot be interpreted any other way. 

Far too much evidence for it to be coincidence. 

Temperatures have dropped to below freezing at night. I need to shore up the solarium a bit more so the dog doesn't freeze. He still has the space heater which keeps him warm in a limited area. Not much outside that small area. I want to make it more so he can move around a little. 

Right now I am being lazy. I'll work on that starting tomorrow. 

In general, I am going to work intensely on the house starting this weekend. Packing things up and consolidating. That will make it easier to get the rest of the actual work done.

Kinda happy that I looked up the weather for Montgomery and learned it rarely drops below freezing there. Maybe in January a little. Right now the temps are mostly above 60 during the day. Once I move, it will be far more comfortable. Lower elevation, warmer temperatures. 

To get some of the work done around here I am just going to break out the insulated coveralls. I hate being cold.

60 days

Today was the 60 day mark at the new job. I made it through to earn my first bonus!

That will come with my next paycheck. Which will be nice. It will be my mid-month check, so less expenses to pay out. I have OT, holiday pay and the bonus all on one check. At least, it better be on one check or I am going to be pissed!

That check is what will set me back ahead instead of spinning my wheels financially. I have not been bad off, just a couple of small setbacks between the car and a low check just before that. I do have bills to pay, some of which I let slip behind a little due to the other things happening. But nothing big and I would be bringing things current again even without any extra money coming in, would still be moving ahead. 

The job is going better. I've established routines for each unit I work. That is still not saying it is organized. The place is chaotic. I am going to try and make changes to make it more efficient. 

It will still be even better when I move to a stable shift instead of jumping all over the place. 

I felt like crap all day today. Achy, tired. Woke up feeling that way and it never went away. I think it's just the change in the weather. Temperature dropping, rained last night, wind was blowing today and there's a small chance of snow tonight. Have to be careful driving to work in the morning. 

I'm just getting to bed early tonight. 

Firing range

I went to the firing range today. First time stepping on a range in 26 years.

Had to go shopping before I could go to the range. They require all weapons be in a case. I wasn't sure they would accept the original box as a case, so just went and got a soft case. Plus a box of cheap bullets. 

I did not do quite as well as I hoped. Not horrible. There were several other people with handguns that looked like they have been there no small number of times. I was doing as well as any of them. However, my standards are a bit higher and I strive for accuracy. So I was disappointed.

There are several reasons though. For one, the sights are really badly zeroed. The gun shoots badly left and down. Sights are adjustable but the screwdriver I brought was too large to adjust them. Have to use a smaller screwdriver and adjust next time. Plus I have not fired in so long I forgot I normally use a one hand or cross-body shooting stance. Today I was using a standard forward stance. 

So, I hope I do much better next time I go. Not going to complain much being my first time at a range in so long and my first true session with a handgun at a range. 

My holster came today. It fits the gun well. Has a pocket for an extra magazine. I think it should work out. Unfortunately it came late in the day and I had to take the dog for a walk before it finally arrived. Have not been able to walk him every day since I started working. 

While walking past the house where I last saw my attacker, I think I saw him in the back yard, back to me and at a distance. Once I saw him, I put a round in the chamber of the gun. He didn't follow me but he may not have seen me and his family (I assume) were all present. 

I found a way to make cannabis oil taste more tolerable. Thinned it down considerably with olive oil and mixed it with lemon juice. Still not good but at least it did not make me gag for 5 minutes straight. 

Work is going a little better. Just because I'm getting used to it. Not going to complain about this week, even though I had to work over two days this week. That amounts to OT pay. Plus holiday pay for Thanksgiving. Plus on the same check I should get my first bonus. It all adds up to at least $1500 extra on the one check plus a full 80 hours. Amazingly, on my last check before Christmas. Usually I have some tragedy happen just before Christmas which takes all my resources.

Of course, I had unexpected expenses this month, with the car impound fees and buying a gun. At least I have transportation and feel safer.

Feeling better

Past couple of weeks, since being assaulted, I have felt like crap. I seriously do not recall being struck in my side, so not sure if I lost consciousness for a few seconds or what. I know I was struck on my left side. I think he may have kicked me while I was down.

So, my left side has been painful, especially just below the rib cage. I have also had chapped lips, which is always a sign of illness for me. The pain got better and worse. This past weekend was the worst, with no energy at all. At work Sunday I felt horrid and my side was extremely painful, with palpable swelling present. I have been suspicious of a microscopic spleen rupture. Which can happen weeks after trauma. 

Last two days my lips became less chapped. Finally, last night I got some serious sleep (with some chemical assistance from cannabis oil). I woke once during the night drenched with sweat but otherwise fine. I knew then that things were taking a turn for the better. Today I woke up after about 10 hours of sleep, maybe a little more. The pain is gone and so are the chapped lips. 

So, my theory is as I stated, a microscopic spleen rupture. Since the spleen is part of the lymph system, lymph leaked into surrounding tissues and bloodstream this weekend. My body responded by sealing off the leak. Now the rupture is walled off and my spleen is returning to normal. 

One aspect of this comes down to the need for a more reliable schedule. Just so I can sleep on a semi-regular basis instead of staying up late one day, going to sleep early the following day just so I can go to work early in the morning the next day. That stuff may normally have negative effects but if trying to heal, it's disastrous. 

I am allegedly supposed to start a consistent evening shift schedule starting in the next few weeks. If that doesn't happen, I will actively seek other employment. 

First armed walk

I took my first walk with the dog while armed with the new pistol. Damn thing is heavy. Had to keep it in my pocket because I don't have a holster yet. I did order a holster from Amazon.

So, the walk was uneventful. No attacks and did not see the guy who attacked me. Not a surprise, really. Been walking the dog for years with no events occurring. It's really just the one person causing problems. If I am correct, his pattern is being in this area on Tue. It was Tue when he attacked me and Tue when I saw him again. 

It would be best if the damn police picked him up. No matter. If he follows me again, they will only be picking up pieces. I have the gun loaded with the hollow points. 

Even if I never see him again, I had been considering buying a gun for some time. Before January of next year, when the new President is sworn in. I am not at all trusting of how people are behaving. This entire country has gone insane. Looks more every day like the civil war I have been predicting is about to begin. I intend to be prepared.

I am still having intense pain in my left side where I was struck. Pain is below the ribs, so it does seem like my spleen is bruised or has a mild rupture. Not passing out or running fevers, so it's no major rupture. Then again, medical resources say the spleen can rupture weeks after an injury, so I am not yet in the clear. Luckily, my immune system is back up to speed and I heal very quickly. Long as I have no major rupture it should heal by itself. Long as I can handle the pain until it does. 

Tonight I am going to kick back, watch The Walking Dead and get to bed early.

Pistol

So, I went and bought a pistol today. I got a Jiminez 9 mm semi-automatic with jacketed and jacketed hollow point rounds.

This gun is considerably heavier than the one I had many years ago. Though it is a larger caliber. It has a couple of safety features older handguns did not have. Of course there is the safety. Then this weapon will not fire if the magazine is out. Prevents accidents while cleaning or clearing. Has a red tab that sticks out if the weapon is cocked and ready to fire. Plus the slide will not go forward unless you pull back on the slide and release the slide lock simultaneously.

It also came with a trigger lock. I won't need that except when going to the range. 

Which is another issue. I need to go to a firing range sometime and get used to this particular weapon. I haven't even handled a handgun in decades.

Going to take a class and get licensed for concealed carry sometime soon.

Haven't felt so great today. Really tired. Not sure why but could have to do with the cannabis oil I took last night. It made me rather depressed and anxious. Strange. I'm not finding that completely negative. I think it lets me understand the mindset of some people better. Though it could also just have to do with the changing weather. 

Something I was going to write about last night was that much of my writing lately has focused very much on calming people down. They are so hooked, addicted to fear and anger right now. I am analyzing Trump's policies and winding up defending them. Some of his policies are actually pretty good, while others are not much different from anything Hillary would have done. Those are fairly neutral in the current scheme of things. 

What is annoying the crap out of me is that so many people who supported Bernie and Jill are now attacking Trump non-stop without being informed. I am all for protesting specific policies but protesting one person is useless. Besides, I do NOT want to see the election overturned and she winds up in office. 

Colder weather

We had a meeting at work today which made me feel a lot better about the job. Between that and a conversation I had last night, I am giving this job another chance instead of looking for something else. 

That gives me a bad feeling I am trying to ignore. Every time I think it's safe to stay anywhere, I am forced to leave and always on false circumstance. Not sure what I did to deserve that karma. 

Weather getting colder. Partially closed the solarium, so the dog stays warmer. It helps insulate the back wall, also.

It's hard to believe that now, after the election, this country is more divided than ever. 

Got the car back

Got a call yesterday that the sheriff's dept found my car. It was run off the road in a ditch off 2nd. There was the guy who mugged me and a woman seen fleeing the car. They caught the woman but not the guy. She gave them his name. No surprise, he ditched her there. So they have a warrant out for his arrest. 

I want to see if I can get the report where they have his name listed. Try and track him down to help them catch him. Also so I know what he looks like and where exactly he lives. Keep him at a distance.

If they catch him, I will press charges for attempted murder. If he attacked someone else and hit them as hard as he hit me, they could wind up with a brain injury or dead. Especially if they are more fragile than I am.

Any way, I could not get the car yesterday because I had to work. Went and got it today. Turns out they vandalized the car, also. Tore out the dome light, pulled down the headliner, broke the side view mirror and the passenger side rear window. Nothing I can't repair. Insurance won't pay a dime. That figures.

The bad part from the assault physically was not my head. He also elbowed my ribs, which seems like left me with bruised ribs and spleen. Hurt like hell for a couple of days, including yesterday at work. Feeling better today.

The bar he hit my head with was sharp. Means it cut deep but it was a clean cut and is healing quickly. I took the steri strips off today because the edges have joined. The fact that I bled so much kept down risk of infection. I estimate that I lost a pint of blood. May have been more. 

Blood volume is returning. I feel stronger. 

It cost nearly $300 to get the car back because it had to be pulled from a ditch. My paycheck was low from not enough hours but at least I got paid this morning or the cost would have been higher. 

I took it easy today. Did laundry and dishes. That alone made the house look much better. 

After the visit from my friend from out of state, now I am feeling an urge for physical contact again. Have to admit that went well but not as well as I would have hoped. So I've started taking Goat Weed and Arginine. If nothing else, they are supposed to help increase my testosterone, which may give me more energy. Muscle mass? I can hope. Not the main reason I'm taking them but if they help with those things, great! Though after 7.5 years, one could not expect to do extremely well. 

Mugged

Last night I was walking the dog and got mugged.

Not just mugged but assaulted with a pry bar and my car was stolen.

Guy came from behind and hit me on the head with the pry bar. I was dazed and had blood in my eyes. Luckily, I did not have my wallet with me. But he took my keys. 

I changed the lock on the front door but the bastard came back later and stole the car. Police officer figured out one key had a Saturn emblem on it and mine is the only Saturn in the area. Making it easy to spot.

I have a large gash on my forehead, very deep. Had to put steri-strips on it. It will leave a scar. Also some bruised ribs. Those hurt because I have had a cough for days, so each time I cough it really hurts.

The worst part is that, while I was being assaulted, the dog ran home. Then a neighbor drove past while it was still happening and they just kept going. Small neighborhood on a dead end street and they just left me on the ground, bleeding and being actively assaulted. 

I fucking hate New Mexico.

So, I called off from work today. I'll be using Uber for a few days, until I get paid and hope to get a cheap used car off of CL. Not even hoping the police will recover the car. 

Visitor

So, I had a visitor from out of town this week, from Sun until Thur afternoon. 

She is a wonderful lady that I wish lived closer. But then I would be moving away in a few months. 

She is a co-admin from one of my political groups online. 

We had a lot of very interesting conversations over her time here. 

I will admit I have to reset my 7.5 year celibacy clock. But even aside from that, I will have her on my mind for quite some time. Just because I like her so much. 

I was happy to find I am off today and tomorrow. Mostly because I have come down sick. Guess it's a sinus infection. Hope not contagious. 

Tonight I am doing one of my mad scientist projects. Cannabis oil extraction. I read and watched a number of different resource guides. Still, I figured out there are a number of options. What I do not like is the "boom" potential for the usual method. Instead, I am using ethanol, a small to moderate amount of olive oil and a lot of water. It will take much longer because of the water but that's okay. 

It's still mostly a mad scientist project for me. Not sure if cannabis oil will do anything for me at all. It could all be wasted money. I won't call the effort wasted because I will learn from it. 

Down side to having a visitor for a few days is that it rather opened the realization that I do have some loneliness. I need to get out for some human contact once in a while. Start going to karaoke again. Something. 

No details but I got some Arginine at the store and ordered some certain herbs online today. Specific aspects of my biology need shaping up. That became obvious this week.
