Boy am I in a mood!

I'm in some synical funk, contrary, whatever the word I'm looking for is. I read a story about something like teens getting killed in an accident because they were thrown from the trunk where they were riding and think "they'd probably have died anyway". Accidents happen all the time. So they were taking a once-ride in the trunk of a car and the unthinkable happened. What are the odds? They'd have gotten creamed in that intersection anyway so maybe the trunk had nothing to do with the outcome. That's not the only example. I just feel so rrroowwwlll, lol. I'm not in a bad mood though, just impatient. Perhaps that has to do with my general feeling lately. I feel as if I'm spinning. I'm not unhappy or depressed or anything. I just feel like I'm on a wobbly floor and I can't find the sweet spot to stop the wobble, kwim? I'm always late, always behind, always running and not getting anyplace. I clean a room and it's destroyed within hours, I do dishes and turn around twice and find no clean bowls again, I do laundry and laundry and laundry and somehow never have a clean pair of socks, I shop for groceries and wonder why I bother since we aren't going to have enough time to prepare or eat them. I was dedicated to renewing my outlook today but I had forgotten that today is Wednesday and my niece will be here in minutes. We have gymnastics at the Y today and because of that have to take dh to work which means we also have to pick him up. Therefore, no time to focus on anything today.

The dog behind us is about to become dead. Or wait, perhaps my animosity should be toward the owners who let him out at 5:30 and ignore his constant barking for the next hour and a half. I'm considering going there today, knocking on the door and advising them that if they do not stop their obnoxious dog from barking incessantly that I will call the police. Perhaps I should just call the police. I got up this morning when it started to see if I could find our which dog and which house since I'm sure the police will want this info. This dog ( a lab) is wandering around the yard just barking annoyingly at nothing, just to hear his own voice. I think that they probably let him out when they wake up and proceed to get ready for work (ignoring his barking), letting him in when they leave for work. The timing is too regular to be anything else and it's been every fracking day this week so far. I'm sure it will be tomorrow too. I have the non-emergency phone number for the police by my phone. I'm going to drive by today on our way out and about and get the address. Tomorrow this stops. I'm slightly torn between being neighborly and addressing this without the police and just calling the police. Unfortunately I don't think anyone who allows and ignores the constant barking dog to the dismay of everyone else in the neighborhood is probably very neighborly by default. So, in the interest of avoiding confrontation, I'll let the police handle it. I bet half the neighborhood sighs with relief too.

And, my heart goes out to the families involved in the fatal accident up the street yesterday. An employee of the grocery store was on his way home from work when the husband of another employee of the store was leaving on his motorcycle. Someone goofed and SUV impacted motorcycle killing motorcycle guy instantly. The guy in the SUV came to the store to tell his co-worker personally and I find that really heroic. I get this info from our neighbor who works there although I'd already pieced together the details from being in the store when it all went down. It appears that it truly was an accident, just one of those risks of driving, nothing illegal involved. That poor guy though, I can't get his distraught face out of my head. How awful. I pray that he finds some peace in this, that he can move past the guilt he must be feeling and see this as the accident it was. I also pray that the family who lost a husband/daddy find peace as well. What an awful afternoon for them. Having it happen to people I see regularly and so close to home really impacted me. I called dh immediately and said "no motorcycle", lol. I told him to be careful coming home. The mere thought of losing him...

Anyway, to close on a more cheery note, if you're ever bored and find yourself with time on your hands, go to youtube and seek out lego videos. Some of them aren't that interesting, but many of them are really incredible considering they're all legos! The beer song lego version is hilarious.
