    Over the past few years, every so often I'll be very irritable for a few days. I figured it was just my brain chemistry being off, as that seems to be the reason for most of the other times I'm in a mood. However, my brain chemistry has been significantly less of a problem lately (because I've been doing small amounts of shrooms regularly. I buy them in gaseous form from the Mayor of Portland.) Still, sometimes I'm just really irritable. I mean, shit sucks and being irritable seems like a rational reaction, but it's not all the time, just sometimes. If it was because shit sucks it would probably be all the time.

    For the past two days, I've just been dwelling on how I'm fed up with everyone imposing on me all the time. And angry because it snowed three days ago and the roads still haven't been properly cleared because no one wants to do their fucking jobs like they're supposed to and everyone blocking the aisle at the grocery store and not watching where the fuck they're going with their carts and being out of stuff I want all week because whoever is supposed to keep shit in stock is irresponsible and I'm the only one who does and fucking work around here and people honking their horns and flashing their high beams because I'm not driving fast enough and stop at red lights. Some of us drive for a living and can't drive like jackasses if we want to keep our jobs! It's one thing if you want to drive like you're playing GTA but I'm not required to participate in your fantasy!

    At some point, I realized another health issue of mine started acting up when the irritability started. It occurred to me that I think there was also a correlation the last time I was feeling all ornery, and possibly other times as well. So, I started Googling and it turns out "moderate to severe irritability/mood swings" is a fairly common symptom of said health issue. So, I addressed the health issue, and I immediately started calming down.

    What is this health issue?

    Hemorrhoids.

    I'm ready to strangle the next person who imposes on me, I put some ointment in and around my cornhole, and I'm suddenly calm? (I probably would have figured this out before now, but usually I just do the "around" and don't bother with the "in," and the "around" ones weren't the problem.)

    I thought my mental health was taking a nose dive, but I was just, quite literally, butthurt?

    Whatever, fixing a problem is fixing a problem.

    I also noticed what I was thinking and feeling seems familiar; and reminded me of someone we all know. Wonder if he has the same problem?

    Hey @Uncle Albert, PM me your PO Box address and I'll send you some Preparation H and some Man Wipes. If some others are willing to chip in, I'll send you a Squatty Potty as well.

    And yes, I know you have a PO Box, because you're exactly the sort of person who would have a PO Box because your physical address is none of anyone's Goddamned business.
