Blue Monday

Blue Monday is what Fats Domino's song says but I've enjoyed just staying home all day, washing clothes, wrapping a few gifts (a very few), and talking to my daughter on the phone. Hubby and I watched a neat movie on Lifetime about a coal mining accident. How blessed we are that we didn't have to work under such sorry conditions. It makes me really feel bad for those folks who have so little, especially with so many losing their jobs. My daughter and I were talking about that very thing today, about our friends and some of our in-laws losing their jobs. Our grandson-in-law's job is gone; his dad's is also gone; and, I learned today that his mom also lost her job. What will families do when all of the working members have no income? I don't understand this bailout thing that's going on. Why don't those big, rich CEO's have to give their money back. I know one group of them volunteered to work a year with no income. I say, BIG DEAL! to that! That is a drop in the bucket as to what they have and what they have taken from the smaller guy. I don't believe in taking from the rich and giving to the poor; but, most of all, I don't believe in these rich guys taking from the small guys to line their own pockets and, in my opinion, that's what has happened. Where is their conscience?

Tomorrow begins my busy week: first, I will go to the audiologist and get a little shopping done prior to that; next day, I have choir practice and hair appointment; then, off to my niece's for a fun time with my sisters; and, finally, driving Hubby to his shoulder surgeon's. We will enjoy a nice meal after his appointment. Somewhere during all this time, I have to find many moments to work on my Sunday School lesson. I promised our regular teacher that I would take two of her Sundays and give her a bit of a break. I told her this would be a gift from me (I think the class members and I would have been better off if I had chosen to do something different.
