Stress....
WARNING: THIS POST IS NOT SUTIABLE FOR THE WEAK-STOMACHED PEOPLE OUT THERE.
Ok. So, lemme tellya about what's been goin on lately....
This week I haven't been feeling so well. Waives of nausia, lack of appetite, headaches, fatigue, 'hersheys squirts'lots of fun stuff... I thought I caught this 'bug' that's been going around work that's been laying people off for a couple days. I was freakin out about it! I was thinkin' "Man! I can't be getting sick! I can't afford to be sick now!" Then On Tuesday I woke up and had this really nice, itchy rash going over large areas of my body. Itched like hell. I really started freakin out at this point. I was thinking the 'bug' going around work had mutated and I was starting the next trend of illness at work. I really wasn't a pretty sight. I went to work anyways and was thinking about all the stuff I had to do and how I was getting sick and trying to take care of all the extra work coming in and all of a sudden I recognized a pattern. The headaches and nausia were coming in severe waives that day and I realized that they always started when someone was asking me about something having to do with work. Suddenly a lightbulb exploded into existance in the mess of my brain and all the symptoms added up to one thing.... stress.
Here's the scoop: I have two weeks now to learn my supervisor's job so I can train in her replacement (I DON'T WANT HER JOB), while I'm learning her job I have to fill in for employees who have called in and for the open position in my department making sure all the work gets done by the due dates AND I still need to complete MY job, all the reports/spreadsheets/research/crisis-calls and do interviews for the open position. Then in two weeks I will be filling in for my supervisor until a new one can be found OR train in the new supervisor, train in the new hieree, fill in for an employee on vacation and still get all my stuff done. Yep. Stress. It sucks but life goes on. On the upside, as soon as I recognized all my symptoms were due to stress and not an illness, I started to improve. Rash went away (still red where I scratched trhough the top layer of skin though), nausia became controllable, Still have the headaches and no appetite, but It's all manageable.
Fun fun. Odd how the brain can cause physical effects on the body.
Who wants to trade lives with me for a couple weeks? Anyone? I'll give you my first born child. LOL
Other than that drama, things have been pretty darn good since my last post. I got my 90 day chip last Sunday, realized this is the longest I've been sober since I started drinking after high-school, I've been getting together with friends and getting to know them better, getting to know myself better... Outside work, my life has been the three M's of sober bachelorhood (meetings, meditation and m-something-else-not-for-blogging-about) I did get kinda artsy the other night and turned a couple of my shot-glasses into candle-holders, kinda messy, kinda fun, kinda pretty. Yeppers, things are pretty much Okey-Dokey now.
Mood: stressed, but in a good place.
Outlook: Good. Looking forward to getting through all this mess. The end is in sight.
Thanks to all who have been great sounding boards lately. I love the constructive criticism and suggestions and always welcome them.
Hugz all around.

This ring has great sentimental value. [url=http://www.2012canadagoosepascher.fr]Canada Goose Pas Cher[/url] The bridge is slightly narrower than the causeway, leaving scant room for both pedestrians and motor vehicles. John's Bible. They also find that one of the brothers have disappeared.
You know about the feminine products, but how do you learn about improvements, new ones, etc.? As for kids, all you have to say is, "You understand when you get older," and leave it there.
