chesgreen's Journal, 19 December 2017

Hi Journal,

I writing in you for therapy. I need some right now.

Stress has been extremely high recently.
1) I have an adult son with special needs who is going through a rough patch for the last 3 weeks and it takes a lot of strength, courage and patience to keep all calm in my house even though I am screaming on the inside "My head is under water"
2) My workload in the office is through the roof as I wrap up the year before heading for vacation for 10 days starting Dec 23rd. I have been glued to my desk and this has been keeping me away from lunchtime power walks which helped my out tremendously both mentally and physically.
3) The commute has been brutal lately and we can't adjust our evening departure times just because(with an average of 10 us on the van, it is almost impossible to get all to leave early). As a result, when I walk in my door after hours on the road, I now have less than 2 hrs before I have to go to sleep. (In 2018, I may have to sacrifice a little sleep and get up @ 4 AM Mon and Wed to get in 20 minutes of HIIT runs on the treadmill, Tues & Fri evenings, 45 minutes Weight training, Saturday & Sunday long walks / runs. I have to play around and see what works for me)

OK. Now that is off my chest, I need you to know my FS family, you are very important to me. Thanks for being there for me. I will get past this and I am getting stronger somehow some way and I will end with...

I can do this.

By the way, this morning I as soon as I got in the office and unlocked my drawer, I opened a zip lock back that had 3 emergency cookies in it, emptied the contents into the trash to my right, poured the tail end of my coffee onto it and also poured some Apple Cider Vinegar onto it (bye bye poison happiness)

:)

That is a great save - My story is that my live in Italian mother in law ,cannoli and pasta making machine ,is hard at work driving me crazy this time of year . I open the fridge yesterday and a cannoli jumped out of there and almost went right in my mouth but thank God , I ducked and it fell harmlessly to the floor . A narrow miss indeed. I slammed the door and thought ,I got this. I was going to outsmart the darn cannoli . I figured I would take another one out and stare at the cannoli until I sweated off 5 pounds. I would then eat the cannoli cause I ain't crazy or no fool and lose a net 3 pounds. Lol - eggs and pepperoni the best

I feel like you are being the rock right now in your family as I am. It makes it tough when having to care for adult children when pressure is all around us to indulge in this and that. Having responsibilities tends to either make you stronger and more resolved or you cave in and lose ground. I see you as being the ROCK! You go Chessie! Your day to unwind is coming soon. Happy Holidays my friend. Big hugs!
