Did it work? Are you stressless now?

I'll give it a shot, although I wouldn't know the first thing about frustration!

Hmmm...how about when my whole left side looks like I've been beaten because I'm constantly bumping in to things on my "blind side". Or when I set something down and a minute later go back to get it and forget where I've put it. Or when I fall down, at least once a day! Or when one of my kids is sick at school and I have to try to find someone to give me a ride to pick them up. Or when I'm cooking dinner and get distracted and I start a fire. Or when I'm showering and forget whether or not I've washed my hair so I start the whole process over again (I take really long showers now).

I could go on and on but again, I don't get frustrated.

Thanks, I do feel better!

Well Ladies & Gentleman, what a hoot!! Trish, I do that thing in the shower every damn day!! Truly, how could we be frustrated?? Lol. I had a lady in a wheel chair tell me off the other day as I didn't get out of her way....I had NO IDEA she was there!! The lady in the chemist was annoyed as I didn't understand what she was saying to me...WT...she KNEW I have a brain injury. It's like that blokes (he has passed on years ago)song:
"SOME DAY'S ARE DIAMONDS, SOME DAYS ARE STONE"....Amen!!

We're all sharing here ...and I'm not going to sleep yet... Went to the grocery store the other day (ok the day before Thanksgiving that was awhile ago) but the place was a madhouse. Got a call on my phone from someone I hadn't talk to in almost a decade. Was so startled that I turned around and knocked a lady down who just looked at me like death despite it all. There was no amount of apologizing for her even when I helped her up. I just kept saying you ok? You ok? She turned out to be fine. That was SOOOO embarassing and the person still on the phone just laughed. I wanted to crawl under a rock. I know it's not much but it was huge to me. She was MAD. Ok, I really need some sleep...lol.

cheers,

how about using the men's bathroom instead of the ladies in Error, and then getting yelled at by the men! Can't I read the placard? No, I thought you fools were wearing skirts for a reason!

Funny story for you, Nicole...and this was pre-AVM burst - didn't know about the AVM, so I'll conveniently use that as my excuse for my dizwadiness.

I was at a hot yoga session. I just came from work, so I had to change.

I went to the restroom area to change - and didn't see a women's room - so I went into the one that was right there - trying to be laid back about it - it's yoga for heaven's sake - just go with it...I thought to myself.

I walked in and some guy was taking a shower...I bee-lined it to the sectioned-off comode area to change.

When I walked out, the shower-guy with towel around his waist was talking to some other guy.

"Weird how the restrooms here are unisex?" I said as-a-matter-of-factly, still trying to be all laid back about it.

The towel-wrapped guy said, "No, they're not."

I was speechless and horrified.

I walked out of the restroom and into the dojo where everyone was meditating in silence...except me - I busted out laughing as I was soooo embarrassed.
