Melissa:
I am not really angry, per se, but there was a time that I was really angry and it was actually this past memorial day and I was laying in my bed and I can see out to the back patio and see the trees swaying in the wind and the sun up in the air and I was thinking to myself. “Why am I here laying in bed” and I’ve got my knees propped up on this pillow, I have got compression socks on, I have got 100 pills sitting next to me on my bedside and some water and laxatives and, “What am I doing here inside in this bed when it’s memorial day, I should be outside barbecuing with friends. I should be boating. I should be doing something really fun,” and ”What did I do to be in this position? It’s not fair.” And that’s really the time that I just was so angry. But, it kind of passed and I think I blogged about it. And then, you know, it passed.
