Checklist for Hidden Anger
March 24th 2008 00:52

I'm a very misunderstood woman.
Curiosity killed the cat, but the dog escaped punishment?
And what happened to the budgie in the cage? (thank God the cat was killed? So it couldn't claw at it?).
Oh dear oh dear oh dear, I am such a dottery old woman, but I'm comfortable in my own skin wrinkles. I wish I had pert breasts like you, dear. But those days are gone.
I'm very busy today. I'm trying to work out which colour to paint my cardboard coffin. A lot of my friends say I look good in olive green, but friends lie to you a lot. So I might go for puce. Oh God, I am such a funny woman.
I hope that Miss Wandering Lust doesn't get upset that I've used her blogsite as my personal email address.
I don't think she will. She seems like a nice woman. I wish I was a man. I'd lie down on her couch any day. And just go "Therapise me!" ... I bet she would too.
Oh dear, these bloody meds. I must stop taking them with brandy.
I'm going to die of laughter if I get any funnier.

I'll have a cup of tea, only as long as 80% of it is laced with brandy. St Agnes is my favourite brand. There's just something about Virgin martyrs who get their names in the Canon of the Mass who just do it for me. Almost as much as brandy. Oh God, I get so spiritual when I drink. I'm sure I saw my guardian angel the other day. But the sneaky little bugger hid my brandy bottle. I still trust God, but I'm a bit worried about his angels. I think they're abusing OH&S policies?

None today, thank you. ... I must just thank God though for my tennis racket and that little neon ball... it just feels wonderful to slog the crap out of it... no, nothing repressed about my anger ... it is very healthy and 'right out there' on the court ...believe me... well today it was... I'm not always angry when I play.. but it is a good place to 'let it out' when I am - before it builds up... it's my gypsy blood Mis, you can appreciate that my temper is quite volatile (but usually not long lasting)... I taink God (again) that I am not grudgy... I think that's worse... stupid family members who want to take things to the grave with them... what a perfectly good waste of a lifetime...

Go right ahead dear and hijack my blogsite. Be kind to Tracy she is a sweetheart! I would hate to have to kick your wrinkly old ass. Glad that you put the brandy down and put your teeth into this post. You are full of the spirits for sure. Hope you enjoyed hiding eggs with all of your thousand cats. Be careful dear when doing your weekly domestics.... eggs past their prime reek!
Speaking of cardboard coffins....reminds me of an article I read on "Green burials that went all wrong" Link to story

You are part gypsy? Really? How exotic! I have to remind myself of this list daily. Tennis is such a great way to get out aggression in such a healthy way. I used to play handball, but I was too aggressive and kept injuring my hand. Uh oh...someone needs to take her own advice (chuckle). I have noticed that as I age, I have become quite short tempered. Damn hormones! Oh well.... so glad to see you and hear that others struggle with this......
Love the idea of couples anger management. What a great concept. I will give it a go!

Even though I popped in and out a lot yesterday, I forgot to say which signs I can relate to:
Procrastination
Over-politeness
Getting tired more easily than usual (yep, usually when driving)
Excessive irritability over trifles (yep)
Getting drowsy at inappropriate times (yep)
Waking up tired rather than rested (big yep for that one)
Clenched jaws – especially while sleeping (this is a new one for me, but it's really annoying me).
Aaah, I think I'm going to say stuff it and blare some music!!

I'm always late. I'm late for this post.
Dr Phil says that people that are always just believe that whatever it is that they're late for isn't important and think that they are arrogant.
I'm not arrogant. My time management skills though.....
I'm with Tracy. Blast that music.
Love & stuff

Better late than never I say friend! My time management skills sucked when I was a young mother with children. Now as an empty nester I am always on time!
