Probably should've stayed in my office...
The Talk evolved quite quickly into something quite rare in our family - me enraged. I think it was quite a nasty shock for my mother, not having heard me raise my voice in about over a decade and now being the object for my upset emotions. My mother - being the foremost in our familys way of handling conflicts - by active avoidance - solved it by hangin up the phone.
That did not help my temper... My brother spent the evening with me not really knowing wether to console me or hide.

Yesterday Hanna and I met up after work and headed over to my place for dinner and just haning out. It was a nice relief from my menagerie-like family. What to do without good friends?
