Hi, My Name Is J and I’m Always Pissed!

I am a single mom just trying to do the thing. I work full time, I cook A LOT, and I’m endlessly frustrated. Enough hours do not exist to da all the things I need to do. I have too many people pecking at me and I feel like it just never ends.

After a particularly infuriating incident this week I made a brochure about my anger. Yep, a fucking colorful, trifold brochure about the little ways things were pissing me off. It was fast and a stock design and ugly but it helped for a few minutes. I may put it here, I may not, who knows.

Honestly, I don’t remember what set me off. It was 1000 little thing, the death of a thousand cuts. Totally irrational but it made me feel alive. I needed an outlet, a way to focus my anger. Now I think I need to print a few out and keep them in my bag. Wouldn’t that be funny? Someone irks you and you hand them a little brochure about you and your anger?

I have no goal or plan other than venting, hopefully a few friends will join in. Maybe there’s a lesson in all of this, how to decompress without being a total cunt. Leave a comment, have a laugh, but be kind. We are all just doing the best with what we have. I will keep updating this thing here as often as I can.

Also, as I mentioned I love to cook. I make a lot of treats on the weekends and I love to share them so I will probably share them here but I will not talk endlessly about why I made something. It’s usually a craving and I had the ingredients.

Please, sit back and enjoy this shit show and remember, I am laughing at me too… I will also annoy people with pics of my dogs because they’re ridiculous and I love them. They have no autonomy because dogs, unlike my children. You will also get to see pictures of Midcoast Maine on the reg because it is beautiful.
