How I handle stress: The best is being able to just sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, but that only works in nice weather. For now and the next few months, I'll focus on the games I have that involve giant goldfish that eat people, dinosaurs and pirates that I shoot with WMD, and cute little birds that I can explode with bombs. They're always better with the sound effects turned up. 😇
When stressed that serenity prayer comes in real handy! I really don't get stressed much anymore. I learned that it takes too much energy to stress. When I was having a lot of trouble with fatigue I started turning everything over to God to handle because I just didn't have the energy to worry about it. If there isn't anything you can do right at that moment, worrying & stressing only uses up energy. It has gotten to be habit now that I just give my day to God first thing in the morning & once in a while during the day I have to retun it to Him after taking it back!😀

I used to head up north! Even though I had to drag a computer and a ton of paperwork with me, at least I could look out the window while working and see calm. I could always take a break and actually walk outside the door of my camper in the middle of a northern pine forest, which compared to the big city I lived and worked in, worked, simply breathing deeply in the fresh air, speak with my neighbors there, all from different places, it was another world. Back then my pager didn't work up there, and cell phones? They didn't exist. But, my landline kept me tethered to work. A weekend answering machine forwarded helped to manage.
My job, which I was repeatedly reminded by all the required annual re-licensing trainers was "as stressful as an air traffic controller job", was actually more so, as I was the boss/owner and one who was recipient of anything negative that happened, or could happen as was more the case, responsible for everything. So, if even for a few moments, I could get away, to another my reality, relief! P.S., I never knew till I met a shelter director, an ex-air traffic controller, that you cannot be an air traffic controller beyond the age of 50. So she started an animal shelter. Boy, she ran it like you couldn't imagine. One day, our adopted feline turned out to not have been spayed, which resulted in a cat hanging from pictures on the wall, moaning all night, in the city a hundred plus cats, many volunteer vets, at least a dozen operating tables, with quoted stats a female every minute and a half, a male every 30 seconds, the process was like planes landing on runways at O'hare.
Now, all I have to do is go thru all the weekly sale flyers, find the bargains, and determine with the help of the internet and my collection of recipes saved on my computer, what I will be making to eat. Wow! Looking back, this life is much easier!
Holidays? No worries. My kids are half way across the country loving the lives they are living, and although one clan was coming to visit for Christmas this year, things changed, (Covid, a rear end totaled car...) so they will be waiting for us to come to them when the weather's better, next spring. So all I have to do this year is figure out where to get that bargain brisket??? Doesn't look like it's going to happen. No sales this year on brisket at this time. Can't budget a $$$ one. So this year it will be latkes and lobster?!? Snatched up those $4 tails on sale not long ago, and $1.88 8# russets, so I guess we're all set! At least for Hanukkah, Christmas, Lobster & Crab Legs? Also, found during super sales, of course.
Thank you for this! I 'm on my way to my Neuro today right now. Baby flare I suspect..triggered by several things, prayer and rest (hopefully not "steroid punch" -will knock it out the box; this too will pass! Bless you!
