Susana (7) - Like a big pizza pie

[susana4]

Had an opportunity to do a small 180 this morning. H and I were about to head out the door when I stopped to make a thermos of coffee and asked if he wanted one.

He said "no, there's no time to make coffee!" (not true, we had 10 minutes before we needed to leave) I had a total meltdown moment: NO ONE gets between me and my coffee in the morning.

I mumbled something incoherent and snarky about how I didn't care what he did but I would *not* be entering the day caffeine-deprived, and went into another room to gather myself for a moment and then came back and started to explain what had upset me. He interrupted me and said - "I think we're making a big deal out of something really small". At first I got even more angry because zomg! he interrupted me. But then I pulled myself out of it almost immediately and thought - this is ridiculous, do I really want to start a fight over a coffee? And instead we just had some light, pleasant chit chat on our walk to the train station and laughed instead.

I know how ridiculous this is but that sort of thing would have absolutely ruined our day before. I would have blown it way out of proportion and we would have argued all the way to the train. I wish I'd stopped myself at the point before I had to leave the room, but this is still progress.


On pizza:

Went to the grocery store over my lunch break and bought some Chianti, some pizza bases (btw those of you in the UK - highly recommend Crosta & Mollica pizza base, it's pre-baked in a wood fired oven and I think it's the closest you can get to making a restaurant-style pizza at home), fresh mozz and basil (mmm basil, my favourite herb!) and assorted toppings.

I'm working from home this afternoon and it is SO HARD not to make and eat the pizza now.

Willpower. Willpower. Willpower.
