Wow! I get to write again. I am so happy. Today I will write about who I would pick to be TIME Person of the Year. I don't have a huge opinion on this but I will give it a shot. First I would break it down into categories of personal influence, cultural influence, American influence, and world influence. I wish I had more time to think about it but I am just going to go off the cuff today.
I think I would be more inclined to pick groups of people or objects rather then singling out one specific person. Especially since this is my first time I would also like to start out by being fair. So here goes:
My Family- Larissa's Persons of the Year 2018
The Avengers- Cultural Persons of the Year 2018
Libraries or Librarians- American Persons of the Year 2018
Jesus- World Person of the Year 2018
Okay, I know these are more personal then they should be but I don't pay much attention to the news. When I do I tend to cry and get really depressed and that is not a great way to live your everyday life. Since this is just for fun I can do it how ever I want and so I didn't put ONE particular person or even group up. I just couldn't do that. I picked these groups of people or persons because this is how I see the influences for the most part. I don't know if I can explain any more than that without taking more time to think about it.
Who would you nominate for TIME person of the year?
I have been working on a big reading and blogging project over at Owlowiscious Girls so I haven't spent a whole lot of time here. Since I Randomize my schedule it hasn't picked a writing hour in ages! But here I am! Still here!
Today's topic is "When you are unwell, do you allow others to take care of you, or do you prefer to soldier on alone? What does it take for you to ask for help?"
Can you guess what my answer is? Okay, so I don't necessarily PREFER to soldier it alone, but it seems to work the best for me. Often when I am sick the only thing I want done is just housework and leave me alone to get better. In my mind there is no way anyone can "help" me feel better except by leaving me alone. Though I wish I could ask for help sometimes. I sometimes don't even know what to ask for except just make me dinner and let me watch TV till I feel better. Maybe I should try that next time.
The man cold vs. woman cold seems real though. I am no where near as mean as the woman in this Youtube video and my husband doesn't think he is dying so much as he describes his symptoms in such strange and abstract ways that I just feed him to make him be quiet and because I actually LIKE taking care of sick family members. It makes me feel useful. We recently acquired a breakfast tray and I intend to use it in my bed when I get sick again.
One time I was so sick I couldn't really move from the toilet. I had my kids get me the phone and I called my husband and a baby sitter to watch the kids while I huddled in the fetal position till the horrible feeling past. So there was a time when I was sick enough to ask for help. Also that time I had gallbladder attacks and I had babies- I knew I couldn't do that alone. So I guess I ask for help if I know there is no way I can help or watch my kids in the condition I am in. Thankfully I don't get to terribly sick often.
The last time I was sick I had bronchitis and hadn't really slept in days. My husband took me to the urgent care and that was the one time I felt like someone actually could evaluate my health for me and I just gave in. So thankful so very thankful for that. When I am sick I do worry about the cost of medicine so I can sometimes put stuff off so I worry about that for myself.
I think that is all I have to say on that topic. I will leave you with a funny video of Sick Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.
