I was feeling insecure

I’m feeling rather snippy at the moment, so I apologise if I snap at people and over-react to stuff. I think it comes from seeing my mother looking so sad, and noticing how frail she’s become in the weeks since I last saw her. I suppose it’s brought it home to me that Anno Domini catches up with all of us, and that it’s probably getting close to the time when I lose her forever. And it’s frightened me.

So I’m sorry, and I’ll bugger off for a while till my defences are up again and I’m not perceiving slights where I’m sure none are intended.
