How's YOUR Patience?

I remember when I was younger, I would hear people say that as you get older, you have more patience...

WRONG!

I believe it has skipped my generation, or at the least, it skipped me. I'm becoming more and more annoyed with people and their tom foolery EVERY day. I find myself having to fake a tight grin just so I don't snap.

I don't know if it was COVID or, as I mentioned, a generational thing, but I am 100% the "get off my lawn" person. I hate it when people park crooked, though I am terrible at parking. I hate when there are no police around to see that person making a right-hand turn in the left lane. OR when people don't use their indicator lights. It's like, "why do you think they were added to your car? Just so you could enjoy the clicking sound from time to time?".

I believe the lack of sleep, money, vacation/me-time, over stimulation of everyday stresses and trying to keep up with life and societal norms as a parent are taking a toll on me. I need to learn to meditate and take a deep breath before that tight grin causes me to chip a tooth.

Or...

I just need a nap.
