Jumble of Thoughts in a day





I wake up angry because I couldn’t sleep last night. Only a few hours of interrupted sleep that doesn’t provide any rest. My first thoughts are:
letting the dogs out, making sure they have fresh water and food. 
Then I think of giving my daughter her medicine on an empty stomach so she can have breakfast in 30 minuets. 
Next I need to make coffee for myself and tea for my husband. 
I have to remember what day it is so I won’t miss any appointments. 
I check my phone to see if anything Earth shattering has happened in the world while I was trying to sleep. I check CNN, BBC, Reuters, Tweeter, BF News & maybe Facebook. 
The thought that Trump is still President weighs heavily on all my thoughts. I think it’s worse than a nightmare. In a nightmare you wake up at some point. 
The news is never good. Fires raging in California and Greece, people dead, firefighters dead. Refugee children are still in cages. News of abuse and mistreatment. Pregnant women shackled. Rampant corruption in this awful administration. The nightmare doesn't end. 
What shall we have for lunch when the temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit?
I have to clean the refrigerator and get rid of all the rotting fruits and vegetables. 
ISIS is coming back. Middle East is still in turmoil. 
Tomorrow is garbage collection day I have to put out all the bins. 
Trump and the Iranian President exchange harsh words. 
I get a call from one sister in Armenia, all is great we miss each other. 
My backyard is a mess I need to get rid of excess furniture. 
Mass shootings still continue in the country. 
I need to water my flowers and plants before they dry out and die. 
Don't forget to vote blue. 
Oh there is a ton of laundry. It's all the towels we used for the pool or when we take two or three showers a day because it’s 106 by 3 pm. Our air conditioner is freezing after an hour of use so we are going to spend about $15,000.00 to be able to sleep again. 
My husband watches news all day. Did he know about the meeting? Is Cohen lying? Is Julianne insane?  Will the GOP wake up?
I’m feeling lonely, my son and his family are on a mini vacation and I miss my munchkins.  On weekends my husband doesn’t want to do anything because he’s resting. I don’t work outside the home so weekends and weekdays are no different, they all blend into each other like one long yawn. 
I need to get rid of my highhill shoes because I have no need for them, same goes for my suits. All the uptight clothes that I wore to my banking job need to go. I'm bored. When will I paint again? When I can move around in my room?
Should I have a yard sale? My things are not selling on OfferUp and let go. People prefer free stuff. 
Maybe I should go to the beach or maybe a casino? I can never be alone. 
Have I taken my meds? I better have, lest I kill myself or someone else. :) 
Have a nice day everyone.
