Stress
I need to know how to handle stress because I am not doing such a good job right now. There is always someone around. I can't get any peace at work or home and when I DO get a day off, I have to wait for idiot repair-people.
Stress can be a debilitating illness and should not be taken lightly. Just before I retired, I was experiencing severe stress at work...so severe that my doctor finally ordered me to attend a 10 week stress and anxiety class. While I thought the class would be silly and the information common-sense, I did learn several coping techniques which I still use today when I'm "having one of those days." While you can't make other people behave (wouldn't that be nice) you can learn to survive.
Hello! Come visit me and the baby. :) I have missed ya soo much when I was offline. I meant to get here the other day but I got a surprise visit from my son and my grandbaby.

Idiot repair-people would be enough to put most of us away, even without those additional stressors. Can you take a couple vacation days?
Joan-I have SOME techniques. I like to hike in the woods, but the weather has been so bad.
Liz-I have to check the schedule and see if its possible. The problem is my family (who I love dearly) is there too ;-)
I am awful at dealing with stress too.
If I didn't have to be sober to run the household, I'd be laid out on the couch with a beer in one hand and the clicker in the other.
