Guess what! I’m getting my period!

“I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do.” ~Joe Walsh
So I’m sitting here in the middle of watching this health care debate during which this total Lord of the Flies moment happens and I’m all “OH MY GOD! John Dingell is 80 fucking years old! Do NOT alarm him!” And poor John Dingell is banging the gavel and people are yelling over him and there’s Louise Slaughter who lives in Buffalo but has the most charming southern accent because she is from Kentucky. And so much is going on and there is so much passion on both sides of the aisle and I can understand that passion and all I can think is how much I would love to be in the House gallery today.
Anyway all of this is going on and I’m all emotional over this because I get emotional when it comes to the House of Representatives because I love the House of Representatives. And I’m watching this really difficult debate and I’m cringing. You all, I was cringing and yelling STOP at the laptop because I wanted for them to stop yelling over each other.
And then I got into a really dumb fight with someone over something that was stupid. I knew that it was stupid but all I wanted to do was bitch and yet I was made to feel shitty for bitching about something. So now I’m all upset and emotional over many stupid things and all of this is going on and while I should be caring about so many more important things sometimes the frustration spills over onto the tiny things.
Now I have this lump in my throat and I feel icky. So let’s fast forward to tomorrow when I will tell you an even better story about how I have been recovering from an incident that occurred in Manhattan last Monday. It’s a much better story and does have to do with Congress.
So how was your Saturday?

Oooh, I am the queen about just wanting to bitch and then being frustrated and having dumb fights. Pretty sure that’s what I do with many nights of my life.
Um, my Saturday was good, thanks!
Alexa says:
My brother and I never get tired of hearing people on the floor refer to “Gentlelady Slaughter” (yes, we watch a lot of C-SPAN). I’ve always thought Gentle Lady Slaughter would be an excellent band name.
Sorry you’re having such a dreadful day. I hope tomorrow will be better.
Mocha says:
I’m actually all distracted by Alexa’s comment now. YES. Excellent band name.
Well, I was going to say that my Saturday hasn’t been nearly as stressful as yours has been. And that I’m looking forward to the Manhattan story!
