So the national average for a gallon of gas is now $4.00 a gallon!! My word. It almost seems like a bad nightmare but it's reality. I don't even own a car (haven't for a few years) or drive, but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect me. At the grocery store, everything is going up in price. A gallon of milk is now about $4.50 a gallon! Eggs are more expensive, so is yogurt, as well as even soda (like Coke) (which I drink too much of, admittedly).... It is just so infuriating that there is absolutely nothing that can be done to stop the insanity!! It does help, though, that there is an option like food support (food stamps). I used to think like five years ago, 'I'll never need food stamps..... etc.' and fast forward five years and I am now using food stamps which, I admit, does help a lot. But I will admit it does bruise my ego a bit and I don't know why.....

I think the most aggravating thing about this whole mess is that there's simply NO SOLUTION in sight! What's next, $10.00 for a gallon of milk? $5.00 eggs? And now they say that drivers could be paying $5 per gallon by July 4! That really is painful, even to non-drivers like me! I'm sure now Metro Transit, which I depend on to get around, is going to charge more for their normal fare which is somewhat understandable yet totally annoying.

I guess the only thing we can all do is just hang on tight and 'hope' things get better soon! Pretty crappy advice but then again it's the truth.
