I just lost my temper at roommate Rosemary -- took her and the cat to the vet, having discussed that I'd do a few short errands and then swing back to pick them up -- "text me when you're done!"
Result: I went back to the vet office, asked what room she was in, vet tech said that the cat was on a tech visit and that R wasn't on the premises. OK, I say to myself, she went on her own errand -- this is in a handy location with lots of stores -- text her, and wait, and wait, and wait. For 15 minutes, until my timer for the meter ran out. Finally, I call her number, which goes right to voicemail. Huh.
Go up to the front desk again, ask specifically if Jack (the cat) is done -- oh no, he ISN'T on the premises either. (Which they didn't tell me the first time.)
Not only did she go home without me (having agreed several times that I'd pick her up), she didn't text to say she was doing it, and then she turned her phone off when she got home.

Oy, Theo. That's no good.

I've lost my temper several times at work today. My coworkers have got to stop making so many mistakes and not thinking about what they are doing.

I lost my temper with Mom today for much less provocation, Theo.
meara, I'm glad you're doing better.
I'm back from the doctor, avoided talking about my weight but the nurse said I lost three lbs which isn't bad because I haven't been able to work out because of my ankle. I have to have an MRI on the ankle and see a podiatrist. I have a prescription for anxiety meds for the MRI because I do not do well with them.

Our wings are not tired.
Grrr, sorry people are being inconsiderate and anger inducing.
I'm in pretty good humor today. Got the 'junk counter' area completely cleaned and organized. All the change in a change bucket, a zillion charging cables tied up individually in a bucket, batteries in a bucket, keys in a bucket. Basically now there are 6 containers for the stuff that gathers on that counter where the device charging happens. Place for everything and everything in its place victory!

I know she has a lot on her mind -- the heart operation, which was originally scheduled for July, has finally been rescheduled -- as a much more elaborate and risky operation -- for November 30th.
