anger management

I had a bad day yesterday. I was very angry. It happens every so often but is rarely as bad as it was yesterday. I was off-my-trolley furious and I am sure that, if I analysed it, there was little good reason for me to go so mental. Every so often there is a build up of small crap that puts pressure on the dam and every so often it breaks, my mood blackens, I wind myself right up and the dam breaks. Luckily, for Sal, I usually wind myself up while she is not about, and so it was yesterday. The pressure built as I walked Rowlf. Unluckily, for Sal, she cops the tail or eye of the storm when I get home. The root of it seems to be frustration that people do not share the same worldview as I do. And they should. Because I'm right.

Anyway...Sal and I went to a 1st birthday party that I could not bring myself to maintain the happy-face at, so I left. Did not say bye to anyone, just crept off. Or skulked. I should not have gone in the first place - that was a mistake. But I did, and it is probably a good job I did because my leaving, to walk home, resulted in my discovering a mood-enhancing coastal path. I will be back with GPS and camera to walk to clifftop and beaches path from Dee Why to Manly. Very nice indeed.
