Vortexia's Secret

seems like all i did today was drive. had to go to the parents' house so i could take my mom to a small medical procedure today. (she's fine by the way.) so i got up, drove her there, waited around reading a book and trying to ignore the stupid soap operas on TV and the annoying people in the waiting room. she got out, i drove us to lunch, back home, and then myself back to my home. mid afternoon and it was already rush hour traffic in one of the major cities between us. yeesh.

ok, so those stupid people in the waiting room were really getting to me. an older couple that was apparently waiting on another older person. they talked in very loud voices about that poor woman's procedure and other medical issues, about how one of them just didn't understand "the price is right" (how is that show difficult to understand?!), dissecting commercials and how "clever" it was that they made you think one thing to "draw you in" before you realized it was about something else (is that seriously "clever" and "intriguing" to people??!), and about how soap operas are just not the same anymore... this was said as they were talking about how the actors never used to have to take their clothes off, and yet this couple was still trying to figure out if the point was that the couple was planning on having sex or not. hmmm, maybe the soap operas were driven to make things more explicit so people like this could follow the plot line. if they can't figure things out when 2 people are naked together, then how did they ever connect the dots before?! wow. i seriously considered leaving the waiting room just so i didn't have to hear them talk anymore. it was that bad. and they were LOUD. once they came in, they drowned out the soap opera i had been trying to ignore. except i still heard about what was happening, just through their "i don't get it" filter.

oh well. enough of that. possibly more later tonight.

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
