No One's Listening Anyway

Sandra Saxon Burnsed - 2019

Last night was kinda rough, I woke up with a shout after a bad dream. Also having to go to the bathroom several times didn’t help either. But after an exchange of misery’s with my best friend, I felt better and grabbed a shower. Looking out the window I see an overcast day with the promise of rain. So I’m resigned to spending my day doing what I normally do, sit in the apartment away from the heat. After such a busy life, raising a family, working fulltime, and attending school on the side. You’d think I’d welcome the quiet time. But honestly, it can be kind of a bore.

With the new apartment there are basically no more extra duties like repairing broken down items. With one less person to attend to, I only have us three to work for. The biggest problem so far is the relentless grocery price gouging and cost of living increases. It’s funny how the powers to be worried more about tariffs and so-called invasions, while prices steadily increase for no damn good reason. While every Mexican I ever met works the dirtiest jobs no white man would do. But enough of the soap box, besides no ones listening anyway.

But thankfully my daughter is saving me a trip to the store. Picking me up a few fresh veggies I’m running low on. And while the Armageddon of a rainstorm the weatherman promised still isn’t here. I’ll stay tuned to the weather forecast, faithfully watching their commercials so they can pay their bills. I tried putting ads on my website, then I remembered how much those things irritate me. so here I sit jabbering about much of nothing, paying bills I can’t afford to pay. Laughing at the irony of it all.
