Okay … it’s official!

I have now gone completely bat-shit crazy.

My mom has this uncanny inability to let more than 5 minutes pass without saying something … she maintains a constant running commentary about pretty much anything and everything at all times.

Next year, if I come back down, I’m flying in on 12/24, and flying home on 12/26. No more of this 8-9 days shit, because I can’t take it.

I think I’m really going to need my counselling appointment on the 28th (the day after I get back to SLC), just to vent, if nothing else.

I’m not doing a very good job of letting go, as Pema Chödrön suggests.

The rain today didn’t help. Tomorrow, it’s supposed to be mid-60s and sunny … I think I’m going to get out for as long a ride as I can possibly take, just to work out some frustrations.

One friend just suggested hookers and cocaine … I’d consider it, but I gave up cocaine 15 years ago, and it just seems like one should go with the other … since I won’t do one anymore, I can’t do the other.

    My mom has a saying (that I think she got from her mom) that goes something like this: Relatives are like fish, they start to smell bad after two days.

    Hang in there and go ride your bike. Be thankful you get to see your family during the holidays.

    Since when is Utah a “buffer zone” for anything?
