sick day

It takes a lot to put me to bed but yesterday it wasn't a choice but a necessity to keep from throwing up every 5 minutes. By the time I got home from buying AC filters and allergy meds, I was wobbling so bad I barely made it to BG's bed where I lay, on and off, until the nausea went away late afternoon. Miserable ain't the word ya'll. What started as a three day crying jag last weekend progressed through a week of cotton spraying and corn plowing until it finally took me down. The toxicity of those chemicals is such that you can taste it in your mouth as it hangs in the air for a few days. Ragweed is in full bloom as are all the other little spots of color. Mucinex is a wonder drug, just saying. So is singulair. Vertigo is not for sissies.

I feel like I'm coming out of a fog which I suppose is true. The past week was quite heavy emotionally for a lot of people including Jacob's family and friends. I cannot imagine being 19 years old and carrying the coffin of your best friend. Happens more and more though with multiple wars raging. I'm praying that Big Ernie has a plan for all this drama because it's pretty damn scary for the 99.9% of us peaceful inhabitants to be held hostage by extremists on both sides. The media plays a large role in that and should be held accountable. To yank that video from YouTube after half the world has watched it would be beside the point. The point is one con-man who hates Muslims found a war to start anarchy and hasn't been charged with a thing. He supposedly is on probation with the feds and goes by several aliases while producing porn and whatnot. I try not to wish harmful things on anybody, but I'd like to see a rocket launched to take both him AND Terry Jones out with one poof. That is not the god I know, people. Take the camera off of some of the bad shit and tell a happy story. Use your power to end wars and make peace, not incite violence.

My personal opinion is at this point all but military presence in the offended countries should be ended until further notice. Screw a bunch of trying to keep the embassy standing. They DO NOT want us there and will do anything to prove it. Enough. Enough. ENOUGH!!! Somebody has to be the one to sit first at the table with humility and talk about the big picture or we all end up dead. Those people are having conversations now that weren't possible prior to this year and Arab Spring. Iran has nuclear? Don't give them reason to hate our country enough to use it here. Do not strike first but be prepared and carry a big stick. Had we been protecting our homeland for the past decades, this wouldn't be happening now.

Me and the grands went to you know where this morning and had you know what. It's so freakin' predictable. Mom suggested going somewhere else and daddy said "unh unh" so there you go. Eggs it is! We meandered on over to the dollar store and picked up a few (non)essentials that the just had to have and then it was towards the lane in the trusty old Camry. She should really have a name. Any suggestions? I know I've called her bitch on several occasions but I really didn't mean it. It took the miracle of several friends at the Toyota dealership to allow me to keep that car following a known oil gel issue. My cousin pushed through engine replacement right before the warranty went. Thanks Kenny! Love you forever.
