The World is Full of Idiots

Gallup recently completed a scientific poll that 9 out of 10 people are dumbasses. Well, I'm the 1 in 10 that isn't. OK, so yes, I've been a dumbass before, but it's not a routine thing. But, the world is full of rude, uncaring, thankless, unapologetic dumbasses. I see them every day. Like all the lazy lumps at the gym who don't bother to pick up their towels and put them in the hamper. Dumbasses. Oh the guy at the gym who sprawls out, and takes up the space of 3 guys with all his stupid, useless stuff. Dumbass. Or some of your neighbors, who do stupid, thoughtless things. Dumbasses. I could go on. How about the guy that I went out of my way to help yesterday, going above and beyond what was right to help him out. Did I get a single word of thanks? No. Dumbass. Sometimes I think how wonderful it would be if I were stranded on a desert island so I wouldn't have to deal with a world full of dumbasses. Ah, it would be nice, but I'm sure I'd annoy myself sooner or later, because, yes, I too am a dumbass every once in awhile. :0 Anyhow, enough about that.

I've run 22 miles in the past 6 days, and today was a day of rest, finally. But, I did a lot of work around the house, cleaning and decluttering, so while I didn't exactly "work out", I did work hard. I need to hit the gym early in the morning tomorrow for a run, then have more work to do at home. Another snow storm is coming in tomorrow night, with 2 to 4 inches expected. My brother will also be in town, and it seems whenever he visits, it always snows. He visited us in Kentucky once and we had a record 22" of snow. He visited a couple of years ago here in Nebraska during a blizzard. 10" of snow with 60 mph winds. I'm not sure how he times this, but it never fails. He must be cursed or something.

We are closing on our refinance on Monday, hopefully. We still haven't received the final paperwork, but it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. We're a couple of days late from our original plan (closing on the the 28th of February), and that shifts everything back another month. I know I'll be glad when it's all over, once all the money get shifted here and there, and we get a refund of our current escrow account, and get the new one started. It's a little stressful right now with so much money going in different directions, but in the end, we'll be ahead of the game, and able to save quite a bit. I only have 2 payments left on my LASIK surgery too, so that will certainly help things. And, in another 7 months, we'll only have 1 car payment to make, instead of 2. Yeah. And, we'll get our washer and dryer paid off then too, so there is a really bright light at the end of the tunnel in the not too distant future.
