The little boy who cried wolf

susandennisPeople today get so dramatic so easily over so many stupid things. Poor grammar, Alexa, bad hair days, sports... When drama and melodrama are applied to every single fucking thing every single day, what does that leave for the few things that really deserve that kind of treatment? More drama - more melodrama - which engenders more drama... We've gotten ourselves into a fevered pitch that now pretty much equates mash shootings with a maybe, possibly and probably harmless invasion of privacy or a generic difference of opinion.
Also my eyes have taken to spouts of burning and it's driving me crazy. Lubricating eye drops help but not instantly and it makes me want to pour the whole bottle into each eye. They will be ok again in 5 minutes but 5 minutes is a long time.
I want to make a grocery run today. I want to go to one store and get everything. Safeway has what I want but their stores have gotten so horrible around here - smelly, dirty, out of stuff. There's one that's actually pretty nice. It's not close but nearly worth the trip. I considered it when I was thinking today. This morning I woke up to see that the police were clearing away the crime scene from that very Safeway parking lot where two people were shot yesterday. And another one bites the dust. OK, then QFC it is.
I woke up this morning and it was warm. Not surprising since we are entering a hot spell. I got sweaty on the treadmill which was odd and not fun. And then I realized that some numbnut had set the air conditioner to turn off at 9:30 pm every night! Why the fuck would I do that? Sometimes, I wonder about me. I have now reset it to go off automatically never. Ever. And Summer begins. On the up side, it has now cooled off the house nicely and quickly.
The baseball game is a 1 today. So there will be no lollygaggiing this morning. I need to get going so I can get back. The asshole is doing the TV broadcast. I'll listen to the radio and watch on mute but it means no tape delay. S'ok, I have room in my schedule.
