Yep! Stress Is At It Again

I would never have chosen to work outside of the home. Life handed me that challenge. And we have stress in our workplace right now. So what happens when I am stressed? Here's the signposts for me personally so that I know, in case I missed it, that I am under a lot of stress.

1. Loss of sleep. Oh, I hate that. I love to sleep. I mean I wish I could get by with 4 hours a night so I could get a lot done, but when I'm snoozing I want to stay snoozing not wake up because some dumb worries work their way into my slumbering brain.

2. Eating, lots and junk. Enough said.

3. Hair falling out. Well, that's when it gets really bad. Luckily I had a lot to begin with.

4. The weird neck thing where it tightens up and you can't turn your head to check your blind spot. Yeah, that's not too cool.

I suppose it could be worse. When I was young, I bit my nails. Glad that habit is left in the dust.

And now that I'm older and wiser, I know that this, too, shall pass.

Have a nice night everyone, er morning!

Oh honey do I ever hear you. I am right beside you. At the dessert buffet table. So tired. Of course. Not enough quality sleep. Yes, I definitely know what you're saying. And amazingly, no matter how many people tell me not to worry about things I can't change, no matter how much I understand that concept, wow, silly me, I still worry.

I think it's time for a visit to the Tea Room for eclairs.

I am still trying to figure out how to bill clients for all the non-sleep hours that I have spent on their accounts! My heart doesn't let me do it! I know Lawyers have figured a way to do it!!! LOL!

You know, I think you need to head to the Tea Room for Eclairs and forget the points! No need for even more stress!
