Stress Sometimes Reaches the Sticking Point

This week I was totally into....

Finding out about TS's ear surgery. Even though what he's having surgery for now is different than his original surgery - it's still surgery. So, I stressed myself out. It's been just a horrid month. 1 month since Magic died. 3 weeks of my house being under construction, so far. TS's nephew and his broken back. (He is okay.) A lot of stuff going on at work. It was just TOO MUCH. So, I nearly had a panic attack. Luckily, I knew what it was, but it was bad. I don't stress out like that, but it was just the final twig.

This week I am avoiding....
Actually, I am avoiding most everything. Cleaning, because what is the point except for the roach-aways (dishes, cleaning the toilets, throwing out the garbage and recycling). I also avoided eating well, because I need vast amounts of chocolate when I am stressed, (and maybe hormonal) and exercising, because I just am. I wish I could avoid the cruddy tarot deck I used this week.

What else is on my mind....
The war. I am tired of our soldiers getting killed. I just am. I want them home. Talk politics to me until you are blue, but this was a wrong war to start with in my opinion, and now it's time to let go. Also, I am worried about both Tink and Nemo. I want them both to go to the vet and get check ups. Too many dead pets this year. I miss my Magic.
My blogs, and how much fun I have writing them. My time frame for new stuff.
I am buying probably five new Tarots this month. They are already pre-ordered. One of which I have been waiting for for over 4 years.
Next month I am buying the rest of my new make-up. I am using Bare Escentuals now, and I really like it. As long as I keep liking it, next month I will get the beyond the basics face kit, and an eye kit.
In July I am going to order the 7 X10 inch journals that I have to buy in bulk. I really like them. They are where I keep my tarot reviews, and once I have them in my hot little hands, I can start tarot journaling again.

The week ahead.....
After this weekend I will have a veritable mountain of laundry to do. If the floor gets done. I would like to do some yard work. Also, I want to get the house clean by next weekend (floor permitting) so TS and I can have a chill weekend before his surgery. Planning for that. I am a planner.

Accomplishments....
This week my accomplishment was I made it through without taking any days off, and without stressing myself out to the max.

Weekly Gift....
Back rub, even though TS was really sore himself.

Quote of the Week....
If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.
Lillian Hellman
