beep beep beep

there are serious issues going on in my family right now - my mother is in the hospital and there's really nothing that can be done for her except to keep her comfortable.  she was admitted with chest pains, which seem to have resolved if she doesn't get up and sprint down the hallways...and i know she'll come home this time.  i just wonder for how long.  i spent the day with her today in her room.  she slept a lot, which is good, i think.  she's resting.

my brother is getting married to the girlfriend he met on the internet.  good news!  she is from canada, and frankly, i like her.  she has been a godsend.

i have decided to put my property on the market, take the acre of land dad offered and pay cash for a DOUBLEWIDE! and have no housepayment and huge land tax bill to deal with.  it's time to downsize.  and yet...

with all these issues going on, there is something totally unrelated that will NOT stay in the background, mainly because it is so annoying it makes me feel like chewing nails and spitting bullets.  it's a commercial - produced by an automobile company that, thanks to this ad, i will NEVER buy from again.

i do NOT want to go beep beep, i do NOT want it brought to my attention (i've learned to tune it out, much like i tuned out my brother's drums when i was a teenager) when it blares across the television set and...

so i'm grumpy.  BUT - this commercial has the same affect on me when i'm in a good mood.  i may write to the manufacturer and let them know about it. hmm.

have a good week.
