Money still has me worried. I juggled, and with 'Phig paying half the rent (ive never had a partner do that before. Or roomate, either. WOAH) Rent got paid. I have 7 dollars left over for the gas tank, and he said hed help me fill it if I needed to.

So my needs are met. And I just need to deep breath. Sometimes I wonder, am I stressed because I LIKE to worry? I mean, I dont THINK I like to worry. But dang, I just am not letting stuff go. I would really like to know how people handle this. Is there a spell? Coping tool I havent seen yet?

For right now, Im going out to my back porch, say a prayer of gratitude for the gifts of today, Enjoy the sweetness in the air, and go to bed. Yeah Melatonin.

Some people do thrive on stress and strife in their lives. I've got one coworker, bless her, if she didn't have bad or horrible luck, she'd have none at all. That's the way her entire life has been so when things smooth out a little, she freaks out because nothing's going horribly wrong. Good doesn't feel right.

For myself, it depends on what is stressing me out. Work stuff I pretty much stuff until I am around someone that understands and then I vent. My personal money stuff, I feel frustrated and may mention it here and there, but other than buckling down and just doing what needs to be done, I really don't do much in that regard. If I'm upset about the treatment of someone I care about, oh, the whole world knows.

I tend to play 'coulda, shoulda, woulda' a little too much and have a difficult time letting some things go too but I just kind of work through it and when it pops up again, I work through it again. Eventually, I'll find the bottom of it and be done, I hope. *wry grin*

If I take melatonin, it gives me night terrors. Go figure.

Yep, way over stressed and anxious here, having to wait to get in to see the doc for anxiety meds....4 to 6 weeks. UGH. Gotta love the red tape.

What stresses me out?

Oh dear.

1. Idiotic nurses. Not saying ALL nurses are idiotic. Just wondering how I manage to get the job that is supervised by the idiotic nurses. The one GOOD nurse I have is quitting. This will be my last weekend with her. Which leads me to...

2. Weekends I work. Those usually end up ending very very badly. The ADONs don't have good "staff shortage" plans in place usually. And my unit is already short 1. I usually end up getting the hardest hall because I'm the only one that knows how to do it on those weekends.

3. Hours being cut. I'm curious to see the new schedule. It was bad enough they screwed up my position when I was hired, making it part-time rather than full-time. Then they somehow thought cutting my hours by one day a pay period would go over well with me. So, if they cut my hours, and we're normally short, I don't get how that adds up. Must be some math I don't know.

Apparently, my bosses and Damon's bosses share some connection, be it DNA or telepathy or something.

They are also beginning to micromanage the Hell out of me, which gets under my skin, since I know how to run this place and they can't even work the program at the Front Desk.

I am just so stressed out over waiting for test results to come back in.

I'm the money maker in my family,plus the caretaker.When i'm stressed out I pray to my lord.He reminds me just how lucky I am..and I am.When I actually think about just how lucky I am..my stress fades away.

I have nothing to fear,bring it on.

*snickers*

I've forgotten what it's like to be left alone to work. To not hear "do this" while one of my bosses stands there laughing with another boss about...hell I dunno.

*wanders off muttering obscenities about work*
