ASR

Sharon has coined a term for me. I’m ASR. This is not to be confused with AR (anal retentive). This is anal semi-retentive. I don’t have to ALWAYS have things my way or be in control, but I do prefer things to be done the way I want them done. I don’t fixate on having forgotten to take along a tall kitchen garbage bag to put my dirty clothes in so that my dirty clothes don’t mix with those I haven’t worn yet. I think about it several times a day, but I don’t fixate on it and I simply ask my mom for one when we get to Coeur d’Alene (a full two days after leaving Huntington Beach). I do sleep better now, knowing that my dirty clothes are not mixing with my clean clothes, but that is decidedly different than if I were AR and HAD to have my clothes segregated. I don’t have control issues, unless I’m not in control.
