So, about that drama I posted screenshots of last night...

All I’m going to say is this:

I’ve seen that movie a thousand times. I know the whole script. The buildup. The crazymaking. The abrupt “Oh, hey. I’m fine.”

Zero new about any of it for me.

I don’t play along.

Someone pulling up and dumping their shopping cart of issues in my lap doesn’t make them my work.

I’m very far past taking custody of other people’s issues.

My mantra is the Three C’s:

- I didn’t Cause them
- I can’t Control them
- I can’t Cure them

I don’t engage with crazymakers.

I wish them well. I hold no ill feelings.

There is no circumstance when I’m going to run into a house fire started by someone else’s arson though.

They started the fire. I wish them well in putting it out.

This fireman is retired.

So, that person’s fire last night was quite a scene.

It was following a predictable script though.

Seen it. Lived it. Not signing up for another season.

So done getting pulled into attention brushfires.

That only begets more of the same.

Endlessly.

At your expense.
