I was so angry, so frustrated yesterday [don't know if these always travel together or not]. We have had a death in the family and I really wanted to attend the funeral service. Of course, having lots of experience in having disastrous consequences attending an event at the given time of day, requirements needed for planning, etc., I knew that I would not be able to attend. All day long, from the time I woke up, I was angry. I'm glad my wife wasn't home, I'm sure I would have painted a target on her.
As I look back on it today, I still made the better decision. The risk of making others uncomfortable and humiliating myself was too great. That would have been worse than not going. I knew where my limitations were; I know where they are, I am just angry at times that they are there.
I guess that this is one of those instances where you don't have to like it, you just have to deal with it. The Harry Callahan character comes to mind, again: "A man's got to know his limitations."
