Insomnia part 2

This is a strange week. I feel an anxiety without having an actual event to think is causing it. It could be the holidays, but actually, I am pretty cool with them, even looking forward to whatever they bring. This year, it's really up in the air, because usually we go out to Ohio and my Dad is still not sure if he wants to deal with the whole family holiday crap without Mom. I'm ambivalent as well, but I would like to have my Dad out here, if not for New Years then for President's Day.

I can't believe the evil going on in Washington DC with the Bush tax credits being extended to everyone, even the super rich. I thought they were stupid when they were instituted, I thought they were stupid when we had two wars to fund, and I think their stupid now. Not rescinding at this time for the middle and lower class makes sense, since that gets put right back into the economy, but the rich? They only saved their tax savings and not put it back in to the economy, so why give it to them right now? These are individuals, not businesses, so it isn't like a lot of jobs are going to come out of them.

Republicans are evil to again deny medical coverage for first responders of 9/11. EVIL EVIL EVIL. Users and EVIL. Self serving and EVIL.

Insomia

Tonight I will try not to wake up in the middle of the night and dwell over the tax cuts for the rich/Republicans hate America debacle. It's not up to me to resolve.

I will not fantasize about telling off all the fat old white rich men in Congress.

I will not yell in my mind at people whom I think are stupid or are acting stupidly.

I will not worry about global warming, economic ruin and the impending loss of fossil fuels.

I will just go to sleep, and tomorrow, I will work on stuff I can control.
