Mosaic Musings

I've come to realize another thing. I consider myself a pretty easy-going, relaxed person. Usually people's various follies and quirks and annoyances don't really get to me and make me really angry. It just never seemed to be worth making too much of a fuss over.

But family, now that's a different story.

Those who are closest to you are also closest to the trigger buttons. My mother, for example, got me so mad yesterday. She was pissed off at me for what I feel is not such a big deal. Her ranting and raving of course, made it into a bigger deal than it is. So I start getting angry and annoyed and finally I proposed a solution that I'm not altogether happy with, but it was proposed just to shut her up.

I suppose one good thing that came out of me being angry was that I channeled my anger into productivity. In two hours, with the help of my loyal Dad, I transformed my bedroom. I took out the computer desk and moved the computer to the basement. I installed/set up a second twin bed to lie in parallel to the first. Tonight I will set up the computer center in the basement.

The other annoying thing about Mom is that she tends to simmer in cold silence for a few days. I know I can melt her icy exterior with a few placating comments. But it's never been my social policy.
