Worry

We are watching this children's show right now on PBS, and there is this animated sloth that is telling me things that are true: it's about worry, and how if you worry so much you won't solve your problems because your worry gets in the way. Amen, Brother Sloth. I'm wondering why this is a kid's show. Kids shouldn't worry yet - they can wait until they are grownups for that. And now a monkey is telling me that it's okay to be grumpy sometimes - because everyone gets grumpy! That's good to know, because this Miser is pretty grumpy at this very moment. I've been working on the computer, and now I'm writing this and watching this show with Bee and Sparky all at the same time. Bee doesn't usually watch the television, but we've been letting her watch some kid's shows on PBS, like "Word World", which is basically about language and spelling. Okay, this monkey friend of the sloth also does Tai Chi for some reason. Now the sloth is saying to find a new way to think about things instead of worrying and then you can solve all of your problems; if you stay calm you can solve anything. And you need the right tools for the job. This sloth really knows his stuff. His friend the frog is trying it out right now. It's all about balance. The sloth talks like he's a surfer dude or a stoner, or maybe both. Him and his buddies live in a rain forest. These creatures are starting to become really gooey and they are now really getting on my nerves. They are singing: "When we're living and growing together, reaching for the highest heights, everything is going to be alright." Bah, humbug. I'm too busy being grumpy and worried to pay attention anymore. Over and out, Brother Sloth. What a lame ass show, The Misers will not be watching it again.
