It's stressful being well informed
Meals on Wheels, PBS, Russia
Yesterday I visited my Gastroenterologist. I've been seeing her regularly for about a year. We're so tight that she and her receptionist make fun of me if I go more than a month without seeing them.
But I have a new problem now. Acid Reflux! Yep...burning going down and burning coming back up. Lovely.
So we're doing the basic doctor/patient info schtick when she beings this up: Dr.- Sometimes stress plays a factor in stomach problems. Any new stress in your life? Moi- Do you watch the news? I'm a little stressed about what's going on. Dr.- Gives a look that's a half smirk and a wry smile while shaking her head.
Anti-semitism, Vouchers, Wiretaps
The good news is I'm off the hook for this problem. It's not my fault. It has nothing to do with Parkinson's or my healthy diet of pizza, oranges, chocolate, coffee and Girl Scout cookies. It's the fault of Donald Trump, his administration and the lying crooked media.
I wake up each morning to Stephanie Ruhl. I followup with a little Hallie Jackson. Then it's on to Katy Tur and Kate Snow. At night it's Rachel Maddow. My life is almost like that old Lou Bega song, "Mambo No. 5 ( A little bit of Stephanie in my life, A little bit of Hallie by my side).
The Wall, Healthcare, Planned Parenthood
I suppose I could stop all the news watching or at least cut down on it, BUT I like knowing what's going on. I want to be informed. Instead of that, maybe the stupid fucks who are in charge of the country could stop making a Breaking News moment every couple of hours. I could live with one a day...maybe.
Tweet, Tweet, TWEET!!!!!
Plus, if you guys can get it together, I promise I'll try to work on this food thing. If Kellyanne can stop with those alternative facts, then I'll stop with the chocolate and GS cookies. I can't make promises about pizza, we'll have to see about that one. Deal? It really is a win/win thing.
Here's the piece where I figured out that the Donald was making me physically ill.
