I have got to work on my stress and anger issues. I let the smallest thing just drive me nuts. I don't handle change well. It seems everytime I have things the way I know, my husband changes servers, or moves things around. I feel my jaw clench and I just want to blow a gasket. I know it's well meant, but it makes me nutty. I read a book once called "don't sweat the small stuff.." and it helped, but then I go back to old habits. I feel stressed all the time , like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I know part is living here with Mom. The dementia really makes for a lot of stress. Usually I get away camping every so often, but not once last year. My sister is of no help. She moved away, and left me to deal with it all. The other part is I never feel like I get more than 5min to myself. I don't know what to do!! Maybe if I get back into yoga, or find a good book on stress. On the up side Jasmine is doing better. Must have been the doggy flu. I couldn't have stood losing her esp so soon after losing Oscar. She's feisty, full of energy, and playful as can be.
