lol. The older I get the more clear I get that the things that irritate me and my family members are usually things I don’t like in myself. My friend Oriah used to say, “ of course your family can push your buttons, they installed them.”

To my delight I've reached a stage where I'm rarely irritated. Except when I've been hot, hungry, and tired for too long. This happens very infrequently at 50... at this stage I have granola bars in my purse and a fan right at my desk and a lot of mercy for myself when I'm hitting my physical limit. But it happens occasionally, and I cope by running The F*ck away from interacting with people. Being an asshole to them is not going to improve things for me at all.
