Oooohhh, this could turn into another list and go far beyond ten things.

No, that was the old me. The new me is more enlightened and aware of how pointless and even harmful it can be to become irritated and stressed out over minute things.

Really slow drivers bother me especially when I’m in a rush to get Sid to daycare in the morning and myself to work. And I’m almost always in a rush. Reasonable thinking might tell me that perhaps I need to be more organized and give myself more time to do the daycare drop off and get to work. This is true. However it rarely comes to fruition.

I think even if I had ten extra minutes to do it, I’d still be irritated by someone in front of me going 35 in a 50 zone. Like why.

I try not to be bothered by being the ONLY one in the house who will replace the toilet paper roll when it’s empty. It’s a work in progress.

My 17 year old asks me every single day and usually more than once a day, “what’s for supper?” That irritates me to no end. Trying to pick what to make for supper every night actually hurts my brain. She’s a picky eater so 7 times out of 10, she’s not going to like it anyway.

These are just trivial things and first world problems and I realize that.

Racist people bother me and small minded people bother me. People with black hearts bother me.

Writing out this stuff has put me in kind of a cranky mood, I need to dig out The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck and read it again.

Onto happy things, a former coworker is leaving town and purging some household items including plants. She stopped by earlier and gifted me this avocado plant and a cactus. Wish me luck. I’ve always wanted to try the avocado thing from the pit or whatever it’s called but never took the time to do it. She said she tried over and over before one of them actually took.
