Good things

( Good things. )

So I'm hoping that list will help propel me into action today. I need to get out and finish the running-around errands today, as I suspect I will be home-bound tomorrow, given Page's ominous cough. I also need to make that chicken stock I've been meaning to make for the last week, as Page will probably be forced to eat some for his health. Poor kid.

But first, I'm going to relax into the heating pad and do a crossword or two. Because I can. And this is the last week I will be able to do so for a semester. :-)

Bad things

1. Page is now home from school, sick. Well, feverish, anyway.

2. The crazies keep going off the wall. What is up with denying horrible but very real events? I mean, I suppose I should be thankful that the Sandy Hook deniers aren't also Holocaust deniers, as they need the horror of the Holocaust to fuel up their conspiracy claims, but...

*shakes head*

It's hard to be optimistic about humanity sometimes. However, fear is the real oppressor, so I'm going to continue to believe that the majority of people are actually quite decent, and it's just the media's fault for always highlighting the lunatic fringe, because that's what sells papers.

*shifty eyed look*

Another conspiracy theory, you say? No, because I don't believe (or think) the thirteen owners of western media are actively colluding to spread fear. I think they've just found through practice that this is what sells. Again and again and again.

(I might be scapegoating just a bit, though.)

Oh, how to fix the brokenness, when so much of what's real is broken...
