A while back, I was having a discussion with one of my best friends, about a friend of mine who I was mad at due to his weird off-on-off-on friendship patterns.
She told me that she was going to "kill him with kindness."
I love that phrase.
A lot.
Sometimes, people make you mad. Sometimes, they push your buttons. And the best way to deal with this... is to not get mad back at them. Oh. NO. That's what they want! The answer is to "kill them with kindness" !!!
After she told me that I tried to treat everyone really nicely all of the time. It didn't really work...
But I'm trying again. :)
This solution also works well with people you are NOT mad at. Then you can just love them like you wanted to love them anyway. They're happy. You're happy.
When you kill the enemy with kindness... it's because you're happy and they can't bring you down, no matter what. They can push your buttons, tell you you're an ugly cow (which, by the way, is a greatly offensive thing to saw to a real cow), and it does nothing. You still give them love.
"Smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave."

Today.
Today I woke up late because I forgot to set my alarm.
I had been up til nearly 2am the night before, laying in bed, without actually falling asleep. Once I did get some sleep, it was sporadic and filled with nightmares and dreams of the most random thoughts in the back of my mind.
This is what transpired after I woke up:
9:30am (Feb. 1st) (all times are rough estimates) - My sister calls me, wondering where I was. I was supposed to work for her at 9am.
10:20am - I leave my house. (No breakfast was had.)
10:55am - I arrive at my sister's house with Starbucks coffee for both of us.
11:05am - I begin my duties as housemaid.
1:30pm - Lunch break... I drive to my college to have lunch with friends. (I didnt actually eat anything.)
2:35pm - I leave the college and make my way to Dutch Bros to pick up hot cocoa for my neice and a smoothie for my sister.
3:06pm - I get back to work.
4:57pm - I finish my work and leave for dinner with a friend before my class.
That was today... or yesterday, as the case may be.
