I don't recall being so happy to have Monday roll around. Husband was in a mood all weekend. Super happy he is at work being grumpy at someone other than me.

It really is interesting how we individually deal with that which bombards us. Some people bottle it up at work and release it variously and unhealthily at home. Others just suppress it till it disappears. I am the explode at work and get in trouble type.

All those bombardments - petty annoyances, mistreatments, maltreatments, major crises - shouldn’t be vented at all. I find it useful to simply push them deeper and deeper into your psyche, imagining them as a spring that just gets wound tighter and tighter with each passing day.

Perhaps I should have asked him to vacuum.  

I am reminded of the Python "Arguments" sketch.

A friend of mine just texted me one of those stupid inspirational quotes....."Sometimes it is good to be in uncomfortable situations because it is in finding our way out of such difficulties that we learn valuable lessons".....man that's fucking stupid. Doesn't make any sense at all. You're telling me, that if I got kidnapped and locked in someone's basement, it would be a good thing because if I escaped, I would have learned a valuable lesson? How does this even begin to make sense? It's really just a pathetic cope.

I understand that there are evangelical nappers, could be a win for you.

Once again, I never said I wanted to live with Christians.

Show me the christiboi mentionings.

And if that's the case, why do the other religions still exist?
