Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

This is the most random question I’ve had to answer so far. Having said that, it’s also the second question in a row with a complete negative response as opposed to a positive one or a somewhat positive one. Usually, the only thing that ever comes to mind is some sort of complaint either about a service I receive that has to improve or about having to get up early or do things I don’t want to do especially if the reason for doing those things benefits others. Once again I will say this. This question is asked right at the point where there is a complaint brewing inside my head. Every night it seems the most basic complaint is that I’m too tired and will likely still be tired enough to suspend my morning service as I feel it’s too early. This is something that has resulted in mom and I being at odds for the better part of my four years living here with her basically saying I need to more pleasant towards them in the morning and have my clothes out and have my showers basically done by the time they get here every morning. This is an action that is counter productive to the point of them being here in the first place as they are paid to do everything for me and thus, if I did everything myself, they wouldn’t make any money off me and would be considered to have wasted my time waking me up and asking me that stupid question they keep asking me every morning…”Do you have covid symptoms?” This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone but I think it would make sense that since I’m half asleep and they’re totally inconsiderate of how early it is that I should really be angered by them waking me up so early first of all but then to have to listen to the same nonsense every morning as it pertains to my god damn health make this place completely annoying sometimes. The thing is that despite mom and everybody else knowing how annoying and unreasonable they are being, mom chooses to embrace their efforts rather than complain about them. I can tell she’s not the one who lives here. It just seems unreasonable to me to have someone wake up another person just to ask them a question as stupid as that. Sometimes I really wish I could tell them how I really feel, (that is, the people who work here.) I know they won’t like it but I don’t care. Once again, mom is the difference maker in this situation and the reason why I should never let my true feelings be shown because I have to care what she thinks and I know if I say anything in defense of the ridiculous service I receive, (I wish I can swear but I can’t because I’m online. Ridiculous was just a replacement word for what would be profanity,) then mom will be mad at me. I would love to see mom living here and how she would respond to being awakened every morning on her day off from work to be asked, “Do you have covid symptoms?” “Ok I’ll be up for (insert service,) literally right now even if you’re not ready to get up.” She simply does not see things from my point of view as it relates to the service. I know if she did, it would be a different story.

So this was the first thing that came to mind and what a shock. It was a complaint. I wonder if there’s anything that will ever come to mind that’s positive. You can ask this question every day for the rest of my natural born life and the answer will always be some form of a complaint. I’ve got about 35 years worth of complaints to jot down. This was far from the only one but as of right now. I have another complaint that I want to address.

I’M TIRED AND I WANT TO GO TO BED!
