I'm sitting here feeling guilty because I snapped at her earlier and she got all wobbly lipped and sniffly. She just winds me up with her feebleness.
Today we'd been out sampling separate sites and she sent me a text at 1.15pm telling me she was done. I sent her one back saying so was I and I would text her later to let her know when she could come over to mine to sort out the day's collection. I did this at 3.15pm and started sorting my beetles, I got no response from her till 4.25pm, turns out she had been cleaning her kitchen! Well because of this she didn't finish sorting her beetles till 8.30pm (normally I would have helped her with this because I'm faster, but there was other stuff I wanted to get done). Anyway after this I asked her if she wanted to take some beetles back home with her to preserve in alcohol for later DNA analysis, she said she didn't think she could do this. I took this the wrong way (because as usual she didn't make herself clear) and assumed she was saying she couldn't kill the beetles (being a vegetarian and all), so I snapped at her saying that if she couldn't do it she shouldn't have taken on the project. What she actually meant was that she had never done it before and wanted help from me to show her what to do - the thing is I've never done it before either but it's not rocket science, you just put the beetles into a small vial filled with ethanol. I did apologise once I understood what she'd been on about and said we could sort the beetles together tomorrow, but she went all martyr on me and took the beetles home with her. So now I feel guilty because I snapped at her and I know she'll have been sitting at home crying whilst she preserves the beetles. I'm not sure if I want to hit something or just burst into tears through sheer frustration!
Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh, I really don't think I'm going to last another 3.5 weeks without losing it big time. I can't even do my normal stress relieving activities of weight lifting or strangling people (in a legitimate martial arts class anyway) and it's getting to the point were everything she does winds me up!
you're gonna kill me for this, but, have you tried forcing her into having a serious conversation about the issues bwtween you? you appear to be perfectly able to impose your will over hers, so getting her to sit down and listen to you shouldn't be much of a problem.
Doesn't matter, I'm a NINJA and therefore undefeatable (I know the secret eye gouge techniques), not to mention that with the weight advantage I have due to comfort eating cake continually to cope with my current situation she doesn't stand a chance!
