Attitude Adjustment Time

If I sound petulant this afternoon, it is because I feel like i'm often missing out on "fun" because I choose to be responsible. This takes on several forms, but the one that contributes to my inner rage regards my weekends. I try to pack a lot into my weekends--errands, chores, sleep (I know, perish the thought), and more exciting activities like attending cultural, educational, or social events. Well, the rest of the world seems to think they can get by going everywhere sick so they can party later and meanwhile, I catch a stupid cold as a result of someone else not washing hands, but i'll be the one flat in bed on Sunday with a block for a head. I'm so tired of being tired, and so tired of paying the consequences of someone else's actions.
