susandennisIn my world, stress is caused when people or things do not adhere to the Rules of Susan Dennis. This morning I hit about three instances of that in a row and it turned out to be two instances too many. I hit the wall.
I am not a good vacation taker. Never have been. So I don't have the normal release valves that others seem to use so well. I rarely need them so it works out fine most of the time.
Today I needed. I think it's just the recent weeks of continuous heads down and the knowing that there are three free days on their way but there is still two days in the way. It was just too much.
BUT I am so lucky. My co-worker, Tyler, was out of stuff to do and happily took over all my bugs. I spent some time working on one web issue that was not accepting the fix I know it needed so I just left. I went to the library and to the grocery story and stopped at KFC for fat for lunch (extra crispy). I good good books at the library. Did not buy stuff I don't need at the grocery story and the KFC fat was sufficiently gross to prevent me from doing that again any time soon.
I'm feeling better BUT really only better enough to get though tomorrow. By next Tuesday, I'll be back to my perfectly flawed self.
