Stress overload. Wow. I really didn't not fully grasp how stressful my job is. I know. I complain about it all the time. But I just didn't feel how much stress I am under until I came back after a week of no stress.

I am SO flippin tired today.

We are going out of town this weekend. That always wears me out. I will make it.

I just need to find a way to combat the stress.

Funny what we build a tolerance to, isn't it.

perhaps your body is telling you that it needs for you to not be so hard on yourself.
Maybe you could cut back on your hours?
Is that possible?
I am sorry that you are feeling such stress.
hugs for you today dear bear.
((((HUGS))))

Maybe going away the weekend will help relieve some of the stress.

Take some time for YOU.

Relax and have a good time.

Dear Mrs. Bear,
I know that if I keep moving I am ok. But when I take a day off I often want to stay home the next day too.

It's hard to get into the swing of things after being out a week.
I know that your job is stressfull, but maybe the second week back won't seem as bad -- that's my hope for you.

"Kickin' around the cobblestones............Feelin' Groovey." Cute. Thanks, Dave.

This weekend was nice. It was tiring though.

I will not have a chance to cut my hours or take anymore time off until the end of January now. End of year accounting, training, and the secretary for the other office will be going on maternity leave any time now. She has 4 weeks left, but I don't think she'll make it that long. She and I have a bet the baby will get here by Thanksgiving.

Most of my stress is self-induced. But there are other factors as well. I gave my boss a deadline for a project I am working on for the 1st of December and he wants the numbers yesterday.

Impossible.

It makes me angry. And it stresses me out beyound my endurance. Every moment I don't spend on the project just amps me up. I am going to ask the family pdoc for a new prescription for valum. I let it lapse because I didn't need it. ha-ha-ha-ha. Very funny.

I guess I am just a high strung, A type kinda girl.

I am the same way Mari. Very interesting how alike we are in many respects.


Thank you all for your support. It helps so much!!

Good idea to get back on the Valium. It should help reduce the anxiety that causes the stress.

Look forward to the time off in January. It will be here before you know it.

Glad to here your weekend was nice, except tiring.

Maybe this weekend you can get some R & R

HI bear,
You really do have a lot of stress...and not of your own doing.
I hope that your thanksgiving is nice next week.
hopefully you will have that friday off too?

I am going to try. But there is just so much to do.

My child. The little one. Not Wes. He got himself suspended yesterday. 3 days. He was rough housing and ended up assaulting another child. I still can't figure out how he took it to such a dangerous level. My heart is just aching. For the other family. For my son, who is just devistated by what he's done. sigh.

Not good on top of everything else. It's predominating my thoughts.

And the doc called last night and let us know his labs came back abnormal. Thyroid. It's too low. So, we start a new med today. Irritates me that it's taken this long to figure that out. His blood pressure is too high as well. He's only 14.

A little more stress. At least we know now. That's the only good thing.

Pdoc tonight, so there is a little light at the end of the tunnel. Wes begged to get in. He keeps breaking through his meds. Poor little roller coaster mancub.

K. Gotta get my day rolling.

Thank you for listening.
