These last few weeks I've felt restless and like a caged animal.
I pace around everywhere I am I can't seem to keep still.
My mind is always running.
My body is in this perpetual state of fight or flight.
My nerves are frayed and I snap at anything my mind construes as “fighting words” (which has been almost anything and everything).

This has led to some tension in our lil household and a bit of a tense Ri as well.
I don't mean to lash out and I don't mean to stay forever at work, but I justify it as needing to unwind, you don't get any unwind time, this is not fair.
I realize I've been taking you and everything you do for granted, I'll remember that you are here of your own volition.
I seem to snap and be guarded when every you offer advice, help, or just words of encouragement, I'm sorry and I'll try to remember you just want to make sure Im ok.
I feel less restless when you are happy, I think I'll give you more hugs to keep you happy.

What I really want to say is Im sorry for all the crap lately, and what I may do or say to you that hurts you inadvertently. I do love you and Im very happy you are a part of my life. You just may need to smack me with a wet noodle sometimes to remind me. Thanx for being with me on my trip through life and here's to many more adventures in our lives.
