I can see everyone be all shocked, as they're watching me for that because of the whole advanced maternal age thing. I've gained about 15 pounds. I'll be taking another blood-glucose test in the next couple of weeks.

Day 20: A Song That You Listen to When You're Angry

OK, here's another day in the 30-day song challenge that I cannot do.

I have my definite share of faults, but I am not prone to anger. I'm simply not wired that way. Oh, I can put on a show on occasion to let people know I'm serious, but it's a bit of an acting job.

I know Paul, who does have anger issues (which shocks virtually everyone, as he seems meek and choir-boyish to those who don't know him well), struggles much less now than he did when we first got together 18 years ago. When I met him, too, he was much calmer than when he was younger. Women tend to cry when they're angry or frustrated, and I can't remember the last time I did; when I was younger it was more of an issue.
