I have to say that I've taken a hiatus from watching the news. I find that the main stream media to be biased and very depressing. I'm depressed enough as it is, thank you very much. I find my news from other sources if need be. But for now, I like my little bubble intact.

While I do not envy those families you talk of (AT ALL), I do have dark thoughts. In my mental state, it would be abnormal not to have them. But I would force myself to talk to someone, if I thought I was going to act on them. I hope you would do the same.

I hate cleaning. Truly. Especially when it's not my mess, and I know it's just going to show up again tomorrow. But it has to get done otherwise I start to get itchy and twitchy.

So.. if I'm watching TV, I clean for the few minutes of commericals.
If I'm making Tea, I clean for however long it takes for the water to boil. Short little bursts throughout the day...
