It may be age related. It may be medication related. It may simply be stimulated by circumstance__or a combination of all of the above. But one thing is certain__I need a new addition to my wardrobe. A sandwich board that reads:
Really cranky and ready to let you know ALL about it.
or:
That ought to keep them away.
Why is it that when something goes wrong everyone automatically assumes you are to blame? This makes me testy. And if you defend yourself you sound, well, defensive. So now I spend time second guessing whether it is better to just stay quiet and stone-faced for jump into the fray. Lately it's been a bit of both. Frankly it's making me tired and I don't have all that much energy to go around and certainly not to toss behind ridiculous crap like missed appointments propagated by overbooked physicians who are more concerned with their own bottom lines than they are with their own patient's welfare [just to use an example]. This has happened with more than one doctor lately and I'm the one called out for it. I'm ready to stuff the entire lot of them.
Then there's just the day to day stuff in and around. You know, the general stupidity of our race, the human one...not the humane one...the other one. Man, I get soooo tired of us sometimes. I just want to walk up and smack one of these people who are being senselessly abusive to someone they profess to care for.
And then I turn around and holler at the cat for being a bonehead__and she is__being a bonehead, but still
*sigh*
*sigh* Yes, there does seem to be an unusual abundance of stupid running rampant. Also, an awful lot of greed. Problems have become opportunities for exploitation instead of solutions. You've definitely got one thing right though . . . cats ARE boneheads. *high paws Mattie*
ReplyDeleteMattie is in nap-land at the moment as she and the cat were in competition to see who could get on my last nerve more completely earlier. The cat won this round but Mattie ran a close second. I keep explaining to them both there is a third four-legged who stays to herself and then reaps great rewards for being nice and quiet while they run around and tear the place apart but they don't listen.
DeleteI hate that you are going through hard times, but I do love your choice of words to describe them. I love that you find the humour whatever you encounter.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes it's 'might as well laugh as cry' or 'might as well laugh as choke the living shit out of someone', but it's better than the alternative.
*hug hug hug* (Know what I miss? The big bag... a punching bag (heavy) that used to hang in the exercise room of the old fire department. I miss that bag. Some days pounding the shit out of it felt really good)
I would have loved having one of those when I was young enough to use one w/o doing myself injury {pictures the abuse I could inflict upon my tender old self these days} *grin*
ReplyDeleteYou can still use one without inflicting injury, you just have to be a tad more careful :)
DeleteI'd fall over, Rei. Really. I have no balance anymore LoL. You should see me. :chuckles:
DeleteHmm... have you tried sitting on your bed and punching a big, fluffy pillow? That way, you fall into the bed!
