Does it look like Ivan is going to effect you much?Do all the weather reports and wondering where it will hit make you feel extra stressed?I can't imagine living there and hearing about one storm after another!
I was reading your reply to Grace about stress.Some people work out more when they are stressed but I just seem to shut down.Of course I can still eat.

I think we'll get some rain and maybe 20-25 mph winds, but that should be about it. Although, even that amount of rain could be a problem for us. Since the hurricane, I guess limbs and leaves have blocked the sewer at the corner of my yard, so if we get even an hour of hard rain it comes up to my neighbor's driveway and up on my sidewalk. I've never had that happen before even during hurricanes. I have to call the Dept. of Streets and Highways to see if they can unclog it. I can't do it with a long pole. Even my neighbor tried. Thanks for asking.
My stress has more to do with finances because of Tim's business. It is growing by leaps and bounds the last few months, but all the start-up costs, etc., put us so far in the hole that it's a real strain. I see him stressing, which makes me stress more. I hope to get with a friend soon about a possible job, but I'm also stressing about that, because I really don't want to go back to work, plus that job would be back in design. The good thing is that it would be hospitality type design (hotels/motels) rather than with the general public. It's pretty iffy, but a possibility.
I react the way you do about stress. I shut down physically, but can still eat. Unfortunately, I want comfort (i. e. carbs) food then.

Deb, I really appreciate your candor in sharing your experiences. I don't wish hard times on anyone, but it truly does help to know that other people have made it through and ended up better for it. It's wonderful that you and your husband have been able to persevere and have such great results. Best of luck for continued success.
Thanks,
Rhonda
Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

I wish I would be one of those people who didn't eat when stressed too. Appreciate
