Hard not to slip into the previous behaviour. After all, *I'm* the one who got to take the trip. So husband is as wound up as ever. I find I am having to listen much more carefully for the content of his message, and not attach as much meaning to the tone of his words. He'll deny to the of the end of the earth that he sounds anything but kind or neutral. And back at home with the chaos of dust and disorder, I struggle to maintain my inner peace.
Oh, and let's throw in a tooth abcess that has been lingering for what, a decade? Very deep, it would flare up, then subside. Over and over. X-rays of what I complained to be a sore tooth showed nothing. My "Phoenix" abcess, so called because it rises from the ashes, only to be self extinguishing, was finally figured out, and I have a root canal scheduled.
So yeah, I am not particularly at one with the world right now. I would, however, appreciate a zipper for my lips to keep my smarmy replies to my husband behind my lips for now.
