I hate people

 This week of seeing people whining on social media about Mr Potato Head becoming just Potato Head and the 6 Dr Seuss books that will no longer be published has just about wrecked me.  Between people blaming the government (democrats) and others just being stupid about it I'm about to quit all social media to preserve my sanity. Nobody was forced to do any of this.  The toy company felt it should be a gender neutral toy. So what?  It's not like the potato came with a penis!!! Get a grip people. Dr Seuss Enterprise, the company that is in charge of the author's legacy, decided the 6 books they are discontinuing were too racial/ political. Hell, I'd never even heard of these particular books!  People who are screaming about this are either totally ignorant of the situation or f-ing racists. Period.

Cleaning

 I am so sick of cleaning. It's the chore that never ends.  There's always something that I need to clean. Last night I vacuumed the house around midnight. I got a wild hair.  I hate vacuuming.  I think it's primarily because you can't really see much of a result when you do it.  Which is why I like the bagless vacuums.  You can see the dirt you are sucking out of the carpet swirling around in there. It's somehow MUCH more satisfying than using a conventional vacuum with a bag.  Kind of like my reward for doing it is getting to see how much crap I can empty out into the trash.  Because otherwise, vacuuming sucks.
