I believe this is so. Our lives are simmering well for our existence and someone comes along and clamps a lid down on our world and the pressure starts to build up. You’ve got that little valve though, and if you are lucky, you can open it and things calm down a bit.
Someone in my life, not under this roof, has turned the heat up indirectly, though I have to feel it too. I have to hear my mom sobbing and being upset when she has enough to deal with everyday.
I won’t go into it in case that person reads here and has something to say to everyone else about it, even exaggerating it.
The temps dropped and last time I looked it was in the upper 40s. 70 was so nice! I took the cat for a walk without having to wear a coat. Debating about going to the grocery store. It’s different with just the two of us. I can go longer between trips-I don’t like grocery shopping that much. I am low on meat mainly. I could just go for a meat run.
Wish me (us) luck with the above!

??? I’m really sorry someone’s making trouble for you, Dianne, and much sorrier to hear that it’s gotten your Mom so upset. Please take care!
I did giggle when I read you took the cat for a walk. It’s a very strange thing to hear! My BIL used to try to get his cat to walk on a leash, but Cookie was adamantly against that and resisted with all her might. Cookie won.
I’m sorry there’s trouble. Doesn’t it just make you want to kick someone’s backside?
Hello dear Dianne:-)
I’m so sorry to hear that someone has upset your mom…obviously the person has nothing else better to do! Sigh! Hopefully things will turn out ok for all of you. I can’t believe your temps went up so high….we’re still freezing here and still have lots of snow. Thank you so much for your best wishes regarding my finding out I will be a grandma…can’t tell you enough how thrilled I am:-) xoxo
So sorry for your troubles. What can you do except roll with the punches?
