this day is poisoned

I sit here on my couch at 11:00 on the morning of the LAST day of summer. I don't know what to do. Do I go to work? Do I remain lazy all day? Do I do household chores? Get a pedicure? Go to the gym? Lounge at the pool? I'm so conflicted and I know I'll regret it later if I choose wrong. In the meantime, I will watch reruns of Grey's Anatomy, and sip on cold coffee. Last night the city of Dallas decided that it was a good idea to spray us with poison. As in, small airplanes flying over the town sprinkling pesticides to the world below. Why? Mosquitos ... and West Nile Virus. Seriously, last night I could HEAR the planes flying around. I thought I was going to have a panic attack, and I have yet to go outside today. I have read a lot online about the mixture that was rained upon us. It's not good. First of all, this is the time of year where mosquitos naturally start to disappear. It's cyclical. The people who are in charge of making the decision of spraying or not spraying have FAILED US. I felt like I was in one of those futuristic movies where all the people wear plastic clothing to be protected from the disgusting polluted atmosphere that was caused by years and years of horrible human habits. I am terrified of what's to come if this is the best they can do. Environmentalists are out there rocking themselves in a corner of their eco-friendly houses. How is it that SO much research is done about protecting the environment and the effects of all the crap thats put into our air, and they sprayed poison over an entire city! Like...100's of square miles. Over a city that is already polluted. This obviously angers me. It makes me think of the whole YOLO fad (dumb young people making excuses for their idiotic mistakes). You have one lifetime, and guess what, we have ONE Earth. Ruin it and we might all die. Ok, maybe I'm being dramatic. But this is what is in my mind and I can't help but feel like there should have been a way to opt out of aerial spraying. I'll be scrubbing all of my locally grown veggies with extra caution for weeks.
