An Ugly: DIET

Okay, so let me explain this little rant.  I am trying a 7 day mental health diet, where I can't say anything negative, mean, or something else, (I already forgot the third thing) for seven days. It's only day 1 and I'm already dying. What a positive way to start my "diet." I can remove the mean, that's not too hard, but  I think negative sarcasm is a trademark of my personality and I don't know if I can change. (I don't want to sound mean, I am usually the object of  this bad habit).  I'm scared that I  may become a boring, lifeless person with nothing to talk about, and no funny comments.  You know the kind of people you say "hi" to and then get away from because, wow boring!  How bad is that?  I started this "diet" at 10:30 pm last night.  I've already had to start over b/c I am so not a morning person.  I forgot to get this out last night before my "diet" started, it's like forgetting to stuff your face with that last piece of cheesecake and plateful of nachos before your diet starts.  After I master not saying anything negative, mean, oh that 3rd one is depressing, then I will work on not writing negative things. Baby steps, baby steps.


On to the rant: Walgreens is out, out, out, of the flu vaccine, which means no more flu shots. A selfish "yeah" from me because I do not enjoy shooting people up. People are of course freaking out and you know how we always want what we can't have, so our phones have been ringing nonstop for the last week  with complaints about why we don't have the vaccine.  I do feel bad for people who want it, and can't seem to find it.  I just wish Walgreens would be as pro-active letting people know we don't have it, as they are in advertising when we do have it.  I also wish some people would be nice about the situation too.  I had someone yesterday accuse me of lying and hoarding the vaccine in my fridge, another one told me that I was racist because I wouldn't give it to them, and another told me I just want to let the elderly die etc. etc. etc. Good times at Wally World. Now, I feel better and can move on. It is so beautiful outside today the sun is shining on this amazing crisp fall morning, time to go enjoy this great day.  See, I'm getting better already. Who knew blogging could be therapeutic? .........and my "diet starts now at 7:52 am.  Anyone else want to cleanse themselves with me?

  1. I am impressed. I totally need to do this diet with you. I for sure could use a little more filter on some of my thoughts and comments. Hate that. Just for the record-I DO love your little comments. They make me laugh, really, really hard. I think you are a lovely person and this makes me want to be a better person too. I was laughing about the flu shots. too funny. Gotta love Walgreens! Love you!!!

  3. I just had to start the diet over this am at 7am after I got mad at Braydon and said a not so nice word. Perhaps being positive is overrated. Wait, was that negative? Do I have to start over AGAIN?
