Fighting to keep it together

Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I've been on here. It's been a super busy summer and it's winding down with my husband and I leaving 3 weeks from yesterday for a 7 day Alaska cruise. I'm really excited about it but stress and anxiety are playing with me. We are about 75% complete with redoing our 16 x 40 deck. It's been a ton of work but well worth it. I've used muscles I didn't know I have and am all over sore. My parents came up from Arizona for a week in July to celebrate my 60th birthday with me and rest of family. To top it off, this Friday is move out day for the few employees still in our building as it's been sold and we're relocating. After 31 years here, as you can imagine, it's been a lot of work getting it ready to turn over to new owners and for us to switch to working from home until the new location is ready. It's really sad to say goodbye to the place you've called home away from home for over 20 years. The emotional and mental stress has started to catch up and I've found myself crying and having to say goodbye to the few that will be laid off right after the first of the year as I've known them for years. Needless to say, all this is wreaking havoc with my stress level and anxiety given I'll be going on a ship in just under three weeks. I've had bizzarre dreams, tingling and soreness, not sleeping through the night a few times a week, etc. Needing good vibes please!!

Stress and anxiety will definitely cause our bodies to do weird things. Hope life slows down for you so you have some time to not worry and relax.
