Type A

So my type A personality has been rearing its ugly head lately. I have been having heart palpitations, not sleeping very well, and my mind has been racing over things that shouldn't merit a second of my time, let alone a day or a week. It makes me angry. I want to be the kind of person that gets pissed, takes a run, drinks a cocktail then sleeps like a baby. But instead I have a tendency to let things bother me, I mean really bother me. Like gasping for air in the middle of the night and jumping six feet when someone knocks on the door. It is outrageous. I know I am nuts, but that doesn't make anything less uncomfortable.

So I am not reading a lot. I am nearing the end of Sight Hound by Pam Houston, but her main character "Rae" is so much like me that it is creepy. My boyfriend even looked to see where she was from (not NC or PA) just to make sure she hadn't stole my personality. The rest of the book is kind of weird and focuses on all her relationships with her quasi-gay boyfriends and gay colleagues, again very much like times in my life. She even had a boyfriend named Adam that tried to look like Yanni...me too! She is obsessed with her dogs, has so many mommy and daddy issues you lose count and she walked around with a dead bird in her pocket because the feathers were pretty. (yes, okay, shut it, it was a long time ago.)
