Crazy.

It’s only Tuesday. It’s been a crazy week. And it’s only Tuesday. Seriously?!

Work is insane right now for many more reasons that I can disclose.

I screamed my head off at Allstate today. If you have a car and/or home insurance company with reasonable rates and good coverage that you recommend, please let me know as I am now looking for a new insurance company.

I ate pizza and indulged in an adult beverage for the last two nights.

And….it’s only Tuesday!

It's been a hell of a week.

I definitely could have handled this week with more composure, but the stress got to me. I snapped at a few people, freaked out about things I had no control over, worked too many hours and ate too much junk food.

But today, a big weight was lifted off my shoulders as things started to fall into place. I feel so much better. I am really looking forward to some dinner and drinks with my friend Lenora tonight, sleeping in tomorrow, dinner with the family to celebrate my mom and dad’s birthdays tomorrow night and a nice relaxing Sunday.

Cheers to a good weekend!

Tomorrow's Horoscope.

Is not looking so good…

Various obligations that you have to others are likely to be dominating your agenda right now. And this could end up producing a few conflicts and tensions for you to have to deal with today. Some things might be a little hard to sort out at the moment. And you might be wishing that you could just escape from your troubles for the day.

1 month ago 1 note horoscope tomorrow work stress can i stay in bed all day?

I started today off in a foul mood. I didn’t sleep well last night. I woke up with a headache. Work started out crazy and got worse throughout the day. A small issue was blown out of proportion (it was a simple misunderstanding) and it made me look bad to my client. My normal 8 minute commute home was more like 45 minutes since I had to work off-site in Richardson today. Today was one of those days where I thought, screw my diet, I want a damn cheeseburger. But, I stayed strong and ate something healthy for dinner. Now I all I can think about is sinking my teeth into a Jake’s hamburger with American Cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles with both mayo and ketchup with a side of Jumpin’ Jake fries. This meal is going to be the one meal I eat on my cheat day very soon.

Condo update.

I have become more and more frustrated over the past few weeks. I have seen close to, dare I say it, 50 condos all over Dallas. I know exactly what I want. I know where I want to live. And I know how much I want to spend.

After another round this weekend, I found a really nice place in the same complex as the condo I made an offer on about a month ago. I would have to compromise, since it is a first floor unit (I want a two-story). I would have to deal with hearing people walk upstairs, but I would have direct access from covered parking (which looks like a garage without a door) into the utility room (and a front door around the corner, of course),

After some thinking and a few long discussions with my parents, I decided to make another offer on the condo I made an offer on about a month ago. The seller dropped her asking price and I upped my offer. I made the offer, no negotiations. Take it or leave it. If she doesn’t accept it, I am going to make an offer on the other place.

I am so stressed out (and everything at work isn’t helping) it’s hard to concentrate. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I can go back to sleep because I keep seeing condos and dollar signs in my head. I am not a big prayer, but I have found myself asking the Big Man for some help.

Fingers crossed.

Conversation with my eye doctor.
  • Doctor: I mentioned this when you were here last year. Your eye is most likely twitching because you are stressed out. Do you feel stressed out?
  • Me: Well...I was sitting in a meeting the other day and my boss was listing out a whole bunch of things I needed to work on this week and my eye went crazy. So yes, I think I might be stressed out.
  • Doctor: OK then.
  • Me: I also live in a noisy apartment building and I don't sleep very well. I have called the on-site police officer twice in the last month because of loud music at 3am.
  • Doctor: Oh, that's unfortunate.
  • Me: Yes. I am hoping to move soon.
  • Doctor: In the meantime, I think you should go buy one of those gel eye masks that you put in the fridge. Relax for about 10 minutes every night with that on. I will also give you some drops on your way out. I also think you should see a general practitioner for an overall physical. And hopefully, work will calm down and you will find a quieter apartment soon.

I have eye problems.

I had some serious eye twitching issues over the last 10 months or so. My right eye started twitching again about a month and half ago.

I attempted to ignore it. Took Tylenol PM on occasion to help me get a good night’s rest. Bought some eye drops and kept them in fridge and put them in my eye when it started twitching, something the eye doctor told me to do last year. Nothing is working.

I have also been getting raging headaches lately. I thought it was because I don’t always wear my glasses while reading or sitting in front of the computer, but when they started happening while I am watching TV or driving, I knew there was an issue. They also last for hours at a time and are terrible in the morning if I watch TV before I go to sleep, which I do every night.

I made an appointment at the eye doctor tomorrow to see what is going on. I assume my eyes have changed over the last year and I may need glasses or contacts on a more regular basis, but who knows. I know the twitching is from stress (my boss was talking about everything we needed to work on during a meeting today and my eye went out of control!) and lack of sleep, so maybe I need to see a shrink while I am it.

Hard work really does pay off.

Work is probably one of the top things people complain about. Number one being their significant other…or lack there of.

I have been super busy lately, but I feel like I have accomplished so much in the last week. It’s stressful, but somewhat refreshing. A sense of accomplishment is a great reward. And on top of that reward, it feels even better when your hard work pays off.

I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a good day:

New experiences of all kinds are likely to really appeal to you at this time, so try to do what you can to expand your horizons a bit. If certain areas of your life have seemed a little unsettled lately, just try to do what you can to look at things with a fresh new perspective right now and you might be able to gain some real insight before the day is through. - From California Psychics.

Compliment.

When I bust my ass, stay late, redo the same thing over and over again because people can’t make up their minds or something throws a wrench in the plans, I get stressed, pissed and start emotionally eating.

But when someone, someone much higher up on the food chain, tells me that what I worked on is “awesome,” that makes me feel a lot better.
