Irritants

Things that really get on my nerves:

People who sit in their cars out on the street with their radio WAY up.

Barking dogs.

People who seem to think that someone on crutches should be the one to give way when walking down a sidewalk/hallway.

Honking repeatedly for someone to come out of a house - at 6AM!!!

People who talk on their cell phones in a movie theater - so what if it's only the previews!?

Please, please, please - just SHUT UP, HANG UP, AND PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOU DRIVE. The life you save COULD be your own!

Children in restaurants whose parents haven't taught them that sitting quietly is the proper behavior. Letting your child run around other peoples' tables is NOT acceptable.

Pedestrians who think that they can cross the street any-bloody-where they want too. Crosswalks are there for a REASON.

......and probably many other things...gimme some time to think.

If you're feeling irritated, that means your bones are knitting well. It takes energy to be cranky - always a good sign.

Easy for me to say, eh?

OOOhhh boy - then I must be healing at a super sonic rate sometimes these days.....

sigh.

But I finally got to bend my knee for the first time in a month!

All very irritation-worthy things. I like this one:

"Children in restaurants whose parents haven't taught them that sitting quietly is the proper behavior. Letting your child run around other peoples' tables is NOT acceptable."

Gosh, why not? I am totally fine with letting my kids race around unsupervised in a roomful of strangers...with people carrying heavy trays full of breakable dinnerware and steaming-hot food and liquids...and empty tables filled with sharp objects. NOT. We are currently avoiding visiting restaurants en famille for this very reason. Yay for takeout and pizza delivery!
