I say bad words to myself when there´s reason.

And my friend Dixie tells me that I should NOT say that to HER friend. But her friend, at too many times, is dumb and more than dumb. I told you that I would NOT make another risotto after I ended almost destroyed when I cooked the seafood risotto for Alejandra´s birthday. Yet here I am, less than a month after that, checking the fresh mussels, discovering that they are cheap and buying a kilo. Fresh mussels have to be cleaned, put to boil in little water, place them soon in a Tupperware and to the freezer. Except that tomorrow comes the vet for brunch and I have to make room at the dinner table. We are putting together a jigsaw puzzle with Martín and for the moment the dining room table is extended and full of pieces. I had made a special grocery list to buy some nice things for Kharla, the vet. But I had to se and buy the mussels I still have to clean up the kitchen, wait until the mussels are warm, take them out of their shells and go to the garbage can with the shells. And it is over 10 pm and my knees and fingers hurt. Tomorrow I´ll shower early and make room at the dining room table. Of course I have to curse! I don´t mind if I´m Dixie´s best friend. Said friend is more than dumb.

No, ma'am, you aren't even a little bit dumb... You're human and we sometimes make promises we can't keep, even to ourselves. I seriously wish I could reach you and give you hugs in person while I helped you make the risotto and cleaned the kitchen.

It does not hurt to say bad words to yourself. At least you are not saying them out loud.

I don't believe it hurts even if she did say them out loud.

In fact, I do say them out loud. That´s why Dixie says I shouldn´t.

Dumb is definitely not a word I would use to describe you.

NO Marga, you are not at all dumb. Oh my! You have so much in your hands to do before the next day starts. Try to rest a little.

I am not surprised that you bought more. You seem to love them. But you are not dumb. Just stubborn

I hope having guests for lunch/dinner will more than compensate for the pain you're experiencing.

You are not in the least bit dumb. You are a very smart and savvy woman. I wish I was in better physical shape. I would help you clean up the kitchen.

When you say bad words to yourself with positivity it brings change otherwise it can bring damage.
