Dear Daughters: When Your Space Bar Doesn’t Work

 

 

Dear Daughters,

I may or may not have mentioned that the space bar on my relatively new computer does not work properly.


That means I have to correct every. single. sentence I write because the computer randomly decides which spaces between words are needed or not needed.


This is VERY irritating, and yes I am taking it in to be repaired.


However, because I am blogging again, I haven’t wanted to be without my computer for 3 weeks..


I am choosing to live in the land of irritability.


Here is the point ( and please stop rolling your eyes. Eventually there is a point).

Irritability, whatever the cause, is a slippery slope.  


It is a place to avoid for extended visits.


It is usually a symptom of something else: a faulty space bar, lack of sleep, an imagined slight, or a little righteous indignation.



It may even be caused by a Dear Daughters post.


And now I have cracked myself up.


I hope you are laughing too.


The point is to find your own way to deal with it quickly and efficiently.




I  love you,

Mom


Oh…I almost forgot. 


There are remedies.


These work for me: 

laughter , doing the next right thing even if it is a sink full of dishes, the idea that I need to get over it , and a prayer to say thank you and to keep my mouth shut.


Again,

I love you-

 

Mom
