Random Thoughts
I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, sleeping too long, impulse buying and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That’s my idea of a perfect day!
The article also said we should “be in touch with our bodies”. Mine isn’t all that talkative, but the other day I said, “Body, how about going for a long walk today?” I heard it answer, clear as a bell, saying “Do it and die!”
Skinny people really piss me off sometimes! They say things like “Oh, I forgot to eat today.” Now I’ve forgotten my keys, my telephone number, my anniversary, or my doctor’s appointment - but I have NEVER forgotten to eat!!
One thing (among many) that really irritates me, is that I can spend a whole morning writing out my list for the grocery store, then forget to take it with me. Also I got those little black cloth shopping bags to use at Walmart, to put my groceries in. Where do you think they are when I’m in the check out line? Yep, they’re back home on the kitchen table.
I spent most of the day getting all my receipts gathered up for the tax lady. Ah, yes, the only time of year when you clean out the car glove-compartment, all the junk drawers, and the filing cabinet, searching for any little scrap of paper that will add to your itemized deductions. This is also the only time of year that I wish we still had dependent children at home. We should get some money back, since we paid in enough to erase our share of the national debt. Yes, I look forward to the refund check - we will run right over to McDonalds and blow the whole thing!
