bluecastleso my mother called me, seemingly randomly, a little while ago. since I've started the new job, we've gotten the daily calls down to one a day ... I call her the very second I get home from work. if I don't call in a fairly small window of "acceptable coming home commute time" she's generally on my cell wanting to know if I forgot to call her. I have, in my life, a handful of times, maybe a dozen or so actually forgotten to call ... usually when on a trip and consequently having other things on my mind. But OH HOW I AM NEVER ALLOWED TO FORGET THOSE TIMES.
anyway, not actually my point. eventually I figured out that she called, because around 4 pm it is supposed to start snowing, and they're calling for around an INCH of snow. So worrying, but not actually worth freaking out about.
except.
then she tells me she's already taken a keeping herself calm pill -- I'm not sure what they've got her on for her inner ear dizzyness thing, but some kind of mellowness pill.
so.
I wasn't worried. but now thanks to her I am a) fretting about the impending snow which isn't even here yet. b) fretting over her fretting. c) setting myself up for a nice little panic attack. I can feel it back there, waiting to pounce.
JFC and today was being a pretty good day.
who invented nerves again, and can we go and kick them in the shin and or nuts? and why don't I have some mellow pills???
anyway ... that' s just fucked the next three hours of my life.
