by Lorena Parker Matejowsky Is someone feeling a little emotional today? Has someone been on a difficult news diet since November? Did someone delete the Facebook app from her phone again? Did someone get her panties in a wad over his promotion? Will someone ever get elected? Has someone’s blood stained the sheets this week? Did someone die or did she just turn 46? Is someone a little upset about the meeting? Will someone cry in her car in the parking garage? Should someone get her girl parts pulled out so she can get a raise? Can someone stop saying I’m sorry in her emails? Will someone’s prescription drug plan pay for the anxiety meds? Should someone look into a larger dose? Did someone forget it was her turn to pick up the kids? Will someone ever be satisfied? Should someone see a doctor about this? Could someone take notes during the board meeting? Does someone need some time alone?  Lorena Parker Matejowsky is a Florida-based writer and recovering Texan.
