Plank removed from eye, too late for WAW? 8

[Heimlich]

I called because of the girls. It wasn't that she was being mean, but lecturing me about parental responsibility that aggravated me, which I did a good job of squashing while on the phone with her.

W is not the most empathetic person in the world, never has been. One of those negatives I'm increasingly remembering

Over the last 2 months she has been friendly, rude, curt, joking, kind, belligerent, neutral, negative. Honestly, she's very tightly wound, and always has been. I've been a good influence on her in that she has become more relaxed over the years. Still, if things don't go according to whatever plan/timeframe she has in her head, she's never been able to readily adjust and roll with the punches. In all honesty, I learned to deal with it over the years, but it sure as hell is annoying. Back at Casey's bday party, a few things weren't going perfectly and I could see her starting to get wound up. I took on the responsibility in a bigger way than I would have in the past. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make, mostly to myself, since this is pseudo personal journal, is that this is a trait that I've always found unattractive in her and an aspect of her personality taht I do not miss in the least.
