This is shaping up to be an "everything looks better in the morning" kind of day. (Something I didn't even know about until a couple of months ago, since I never got up in the morning.) I'm feeling calmer and more productive after several days of not doing much at all.

I lost my temper yesterday at Thanksigiving. Evan tells me not to worry about it, but he forgives me a lot easier than I forgive myself. I feel pretty bad about losing it over Yatzee of all things. Sometimes I just want to be left alone, and my visiting cousin is super-enthusiastic about everything. She also can't take "not right now" as an answer. It's my fault, but it made her feel bad.

But today's better.

You'd been saying that you just didn't have it in you to do Thanksgiving again, and you knew that you were overwhelmed even before things started, so no wonder you lost it. It happens to all of us. Glad things are better today!

Yeah, I know it's not surprising. But I wanted to go mainly for Bri, and I wound up making her upset. And I knew I couldn't handle her energy level and lack of boundaries either (neither of which I blame on her).

I should have called in sick. My mother would have understood.

Good to hear!
