Add the sitcom Mom to list.
It's a show I don't usually watch because the characters don't seem to like one another very much. And since I didn't watch from the beginning, I'm not sure about all the relationships. But it's on in syndication so it's aired a lot these days, and the other night I came upon it when I couldn't sleep.
The main character, Christy, is having a very bad day. At home, at work, in traffic, everywhere. At her AA meeting, she begins venting to Marjorie, who says to her: "If you run into jerks all day, you're the jerk."
Oh my God! That's so me!
I've been annoyed with everyone and everything for the last two or three weeks.
A lot of it is the weather. The heat is making everyone a little edgy, a bit more unpleasant. And I'm on a rather constant diet of NSAIDs for my kidney stone, and meds can wreak havoc on one's outlook.
But most of it is me. I'm not happy with my life right now -- my home is such a mess and I feel lazy and helpless about the state of the nation. And so I'm projecting that on everyone else.
I should have this tattooed on my fat ass. No, make it my thigh. So I can see it.
This heatwave is taking a toll. It makes me pissy and snappish. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to understand that you are under two very different stresses right now, neither of which you have much control over. Now that you have this quote, you have a way out of that box, at least you can now relax a little more and really, you are ill, so stop obsessing out the house. If you can do a few things,fine, if not it's not going anywhere. If it starts moving around however.... *winks*
