I feel pretty lousy today.. I was all day long yesterday.
It might be the weather changing or the pollen or
something in the air. I have had trouble sleeping due to
my allergies and asthma.. I sure hope it leaves soon.
It’s the kind of weather that makes your bones ache.. oh yeah
I am that old!! 
I have to be well to get my FLU SHOT.. They are already
advertising for them in the stores here. $24.99!! Goodness..
the price goes up every year. I can remember getting one
for $5 one year. They raise the price so that if you do not
have insurance and have to pay– it comes at a bad time.
Winter time, the bills are more than summer. This year they
say will be bad. Higher oil rates and more sickness.
They want more children this year than ever, to get the
shots. They figure if they get some resistance to the bug
then they won’t pass it along. Makes sense..Schools
are where they are passing it to each other. I think the GOVT.
should pay for them. Children are our future. They should
be protecting the whole nation from a potential virus outbreak.
Oh well I am just rambling here.. something else the poor people
can’t afford. At least the seniors get a shot free.. ( if they can take it)

With all the bad news on tv lately I prefer to not watch it.
I see it– but I tune most of it out.. I guess that is what you call it.
Oh sometimes you can’t help but know what’s going on
and you do listen. Mom doesn’t get all of the news of
congress doing this or that.
She prefers to watch her daytime shows
and live in her mind where no one goes to the bathroom
(almost never see a person on a soap go in one.) and
no one smokes anymore, or goes to a grocery store.
They never sit down for a whole meal or have trouble getting
a babysitter for their kids.
People there just happen to give you
a job and or you have someone in your family owning a
business where you can get work. Just like that– there is no
stress over paying the bills or anything. What a life that would
be.
When they broke into her program yesterday with an update
over the bill not being signed, she just looked at me with
disgust.. for a split second her world was brought back to reality.
I had to think, if we lost tv for good tomorrow, if all those characters
would still be playing their parts in her mind.
