Here recently it seems like everything just gets under my skin so quickly and easily. It’s not that I get mad and take it out on others, it’s just the fact that I’m constantly annoyed and stressed. Something as simple as the dogs tracking some mud through the house will just ruin my mood. I know some people who would just laugh it off and clean it up. Meanwhile I’ll get pissed that I didn’t wipe their feet and be mad the entire time I’m cleaning it up. This has nothing to do with the dogs, it just an example. Any number of seemingly insignificant things can trigger me like that. Like forgetting something at the store and having to go back. I would love to be able to go, “well that sucks” and just get over it.

    Yeah, it’s about looking forward and never backwards. How can I best move on from here? Clean the shit off the floor and set up some reliable system of cleaning their feet after muddy walks to prevent getting more shit on the floor. Getting angry doesn’t help anything, the pragmatic approach is to fix the now and make it better next time.
