Today is an f*ck you kind of day — it is cold, cloudy and I am irritated (at people thinking all problems in life are solved by ‘sweetness and light’… No, sometimes there is a problem that cannot be solved by simply changing your attitude *slight rant below*) and angry (grieving can do that to you).
I should have went to work to get some smiles but no work for me today. I guess I can say today I am thankful for smiles whether from friends or strangers because they always help me feel better. Maybe I should go somewhere, go see a friend but I really need to stay home and work on housework — blech! Can’t wait for my husband to get home.

Yeah, I know when I have a poor attitude so either I stay home and deal with it or I write it out, sometimes in my blog. I don’t usually take it out on others so it pisses me off when people try to make you think that in order to deal with unpleasant people (who have no qualms about taking their bad attitude out on you) or situations all you have to do is to change your own attitude or perceptions. Well that is some bullshit. It is not all wrong but it does not fit every person or situation. What it does is makes me feel like I have to take the blame and change myself to accommodate shitty people or shitty situations. That is not right and I am tired of being made to feel like everything will be better as long as I change. I change to meet the demands of life’s challenges but there are some people or situations that I simply cannot adapt to. I understand that the world will not change to accommadate me. I understand there are situations in life that will never be pleasant and will never change but I do resent the fact that so many of us, so many good people have to put up with bullshit only to be told “If you change your outlook or perception everything will be all right.” Been there, done that, it doesn’t work for all situations so quit spouting fake Pollyanna bullshit and get fucking real.
I know one thing that works as far as changes I can make and that is if someone or a situation is not right for you, is wholly unpleasant, you get the fuck away from it as soon as you can or cut as much of the bullshit out of your life as you can. There is no outlook/perception change involved.
F U all assholes, fakers, posers and hypocrites!
