I may be using the f word a little extra today. I’m experiencing a flare up of Irritable Sibling Syndrome. My evilest sister sent me two emails yesterday (because she can’t fit all her bile into one) that made me so mad it will take me a week to answer her. I try not to respond angrily because I think it pleases her. She can’t stand it when I’m calm, or when I let her stew for a week.

So I’ll be, um, expressive here, and get it out of my system. I will try to aim carefully.
