Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

QUESTION OF THE WEEK...07-31-2023
When was the last time you lost your temper? About what?
I lost my temper (just a little) when my husband failed to tell me that a new person was going to come to my English class yesterday. He claims he mentioned it and it threw me.
Last week at the gas station when a stranger parked his vehicle between both pumps. The other side of the pumps was full and this clown did not seem to care I yelled and he yelled and it was a bit embarrassing when I ended up using the "F" word. Yes I had not taken all my pills that morning..
Tiresome woman in front of me was too busy looking at something on her seat instead of going--- We have a bridge that his getting a major rebuild and traffic is single-lane with a long wait. I missed the light. I turned the air blue in my car for a while. Silly. Not worth the upset.
This morning. My ex-the second has been sleeping over for a couple of nights (sleeping bag on the floor) after being evacuated because a huge fire burnt out the unit right next door to him, thankfully the party wall is okay. But he's been complaining the whole time so this morning when I snapped, he packed his stuff and headed home hoping the power was back on so he could start cleaning up soot and smoke/water damage.
Well, I'm seriously having a hard time remembering the last time I got aggravated about anything...I even asked Larry what he remembered about my getting upset... about anything, he couldn't think of anything either... lolol...I just let things roll off me nowadays. NOTHING is important enough for me to become a crazy woman. That hurts me more than the person or thing I'm upset with. Well, maybe if I had to deal with incompetence in a hospital? Yes, that would get me going enough to say something...and mistreatment of children or the elderly, or women...Lol...yeah, there's lots that could punch my ticket. But most things just aren't worth the trouble it takes to wind myself up! hugs Donna

ReplyDeleteDriving. I hate rude drivers. I had a tailgater last week that sent me over the edge. I don't think they knew I was angry, but I was.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
The last time Brother-in-Law, The Mouth, mouthed off. But no matter how angry you get, don't let him know, that's the trick.
ReplyDeleteNot that long ago...at a very annoying voice in the TV....The voices of some reporters and some who do the ads really drive me insane!
