Aggression
Nov. 20th, 2011 04:26 pmI am sick sick sick, and everyone at my house was a little too aggressive for me today. My mom about ideas she has for dealing with our continuing bedbug nightmare. Tyler about everything, particularly the politics of sharing the home address of someone who has done something wrong and about her general intolerance of The Ranger. And Oliver about my space and his wants.
I'm irritated today with my co's unforgiving nature, especially where it applies to people I love. I feel small today, weak, tired, incapable of standing up for myself and anyone else in a way that is respectful.
This is after a really great night, where I pretended I was not sick, went to a reading, played games at the arcade, then got the holy shit kicked out of me. Not bad for an old lady.
My second Ochem exam is Tuesday and I do not expect to do well. And, you know, I am trying real hard to pretend I don't care. I DO care, but I am working hard on being gentle with myself. Especially on a day when I'm coming up against a lot of outside aggression.
