I'm starting to get very alarmed with how much my back hurts. Two days in a row. Hm. This is definitely not normal.

I've been thinking about how our government is imploring its citizens to act normally, in spite of all of the turmoil happening in our country and abroad. God knows why I'm following this request, except what else can I do? But I just keep having these sneaking suspicions...is our government saying this because it's easier to fool a complacent America?? Shouldn't we be alarmed? I mean, we're at war! But at the same time, I don't know what acting alarmed would do. I can't act alarmed all day, can I?

I'm feeling pretty confused.
