Even to this day, I still catch myself expecting that she's going to hold herself to some type of standard in our interactions and that expectation is dashed continually against the rocks, yet remains. If I spend a minute or two before any sort of interaction with her reminding myself to expect nothing or expect that she will be what I have observed her to be (not what I wished her to be), I find I don't get angry or upset or lose my temper, in fact, sometimes I laugh because of how spot on those reality/historical data refined expectations are.
