P.S. If it makes you feel any better I have to go to a place where I KNOW I will be triggered.

I put new bumper stickers on my car of my children’s colleges and service academies (so the first car they see pulling in or leaving is MINE and I have done a great job, thank you!)

I will lay out my perfect outfit the night before

I will eat a full meal before I get there

I will hang out in strategic places so I won’t run into certain people

I will seek sanctuary in politeness when/if confronted by my trigger

I have “taken that important phone call”/fled when seeing them. And I’d do it again.

But I will do my job god dam it!
