When Everything is Awful

Sometimes it seems like we are being bombarded on all sides with awful news.  Fortunately awful days are few and far between but today just seems pretty sucky...

• I opened my feedreader and this post came up on top.  I've followed Cheapchick's blog for years and this was just terribly sad news.
• Since yesterday the conspiracy boards have been lit up with the Wayfair pedo conspiracy.  Who knows if this is true but literally it seems like there is a new scandal that sets off the internet every. single. day.  
• And this headline, 'US is approaching one of the most unstable times in its history' certainly didn't do anything to improve things.
• It's ridiculously hot here.  So no outdoor activities at all.
• 32% of US households missed their July housing payments.  This is certainly foreboding and will impact our entire economy...or what's left of it.
• Personally I am feeling fat and frumpy and disappointed that the state is dragging its feet on unemployment as I had hoped to use that money to pay off the car by now.  Apparently our state is out of money to pay unemployment so there's that.
• We are heading into what will most likely be a nightmare election season.
• Fights--physical fights--over masks are a daily occurrence.

Just a downer day.  Hopefully things turn around but it looks like things will get worse before they get better.  Also, I couldn't comment on Cheapchick's blog but her and her family have my deepest prayers...I will definitely be praying for a miracle for her and her family!
