urge to kill....fading
Sometimes people are pretty cool.Today I had two people do something kind for me without asking for anything in return.And the person that I usually consider my worst enemy was polite and respectful to me. (Well, to my face, anyway!)I don't know if it's the holiday spirit catching up with everyone, but I could definitely get used to this.
anger management
The rage in me is spiralling out of control. I've started releasing it at inappropriate times, but I think I should try to keep a lid on that, since I'm starting to get a reputation at work as "the angry one." It's not one big thing that's happened that caused me to be so pissed off all the time, but more a whole bunch of little/normal sized things that keep building up. I'm thinking that after this week, things should start to calm down a bit. (This week is the most stressful time of the year at work!) In the meantime, I need some healthy ways to keep my temper in check. Any ideas?
you've just made a powerful enemy
The one big issue I have with my cats is the fact that they bring in unwanted guests. Yes, there is the occasional dead bird or mouse, but those are considered gifts, so I try not to scream too loudly when they're dropped on the kitchen floor. No, it's the fleas that I have the biggest problem with! Those little buggers are a nuisance, and they're taking forever to kill! 
You may look cute, you little filthy mcnasties, but make no mistake - you're going down...
the good white stuff
Oh my god! It's snowing! This is the best! Screw my bad mood!
R.C.
I hate you so much. You cause nothing but trouble, and you put everyone in a bad mood. I only deal with you because I'm forced to, and if it were up to me, I'd never have to look at you again in my life. I'm counting my lucky stars that I won't have to see you for several months after this Friday. Please don't keep in touch in the meantime. Starting next week, report cards will become a bad word in my vocabulary.
paranoia
The washing machine scares me. And not just because I hate doing laundry. It makes these weird-ass noises that sound like someone banging on the downstairs window. Or maybe there really IS someone banging on the window, and I'm blaming the washing machine, and that person is using my distraction to find a way into the house. Or maybe I need to get back to some mindless work and turn my brain off for a while.
volleyball
I played volleyball at lunch today. It was so cool, but I had no idea I was such a crap player! What a stress reliever, though. I think I'm going to play every day, and see if it has any long-term effects. Best-case scenario: I improve my volleyball skills, I have more fun during the day, and my ass gets a bit smaller!!
Bernice (warning - kinda sad)
None of us saw this coming. We all knew she was older, but to us, she just seemed to be invincible, like nothing would ever stop her. The fighter’s spirit and determination made it seem like she would live forever.
She had the kindest heart. I guess we all just thought a heart like that would never stop beating.
Softball will be different, but hopefully she's taught the team something about attitude and perseverance. Maybe next year it will be like playing with a whole field of Bernices, rather than just one. :)
