Friday morning stress

Fri, 03-17-2006 - 7:15am

I'm taking a half day off from work to take care of some personal business. I'm so tired, but there is no rest for the next 10 days at least, and now I'm getting pressure to get involved in some relative's problem that I want no part of. (I said I am not getting involved, but I am waiting for their next wave of pressure.) So, I'm a bit stressed out right now, but I am going to try very hard to NOT GO SHOPPING (or start eating) to deal with it. Why is it that I am overloaded with stress, esp. when I have to put a huge amount of effort into my job and have nothing left to deal with it? I am trying very hard to not let this be a spending trigger.

There is other family stress as well, but there is no need for me to do anything, but I have to listen and be careful what I say....more stress.

These are situations that could drain me dry financially, too.......I am being so much more careful about money than I have ever been. I can't afford to rescue anyone with money anymore.

STRESS, STRESS, STRESS!!!!!!

I am excited to send off another snowflake payment today to the target credit card. So happy to see the balance on it shrink!

I need to focus on something positive today, but the things I have to deal with are so depressing to me right now. I need to find something to look forward to........maybe I can go to the gym tonight and pound my feet on the treadmill......

So, avoid those spending triggers today with me! Have a happy St. Patrick's day! This woman in the red will be wearing the green (and looking stressed out)! Littlesbigs

Hi, LB. Girlfriend, stress is at my place, too. I just paid bills, and my stressmeter is up. But, I have the day off, to get things done. I get my new glasses today, and am going out to eat (salads, etc.). Get the lavender body wash St. Ives whipped silk. It is sooo soothing. Stress just melted down the drain. I also taped some concert specials on TV and that sure helped when I was cleaning. Do you make your own CD's for the car? That is one thing I do when I am frazzled out, is to download songs and make custom tapes. Anyway, dont get tooo caught up in the family thing. Have fun today. Whiz.
