So I’ve been quiet because I’ve been really busy helping a friend and at the same time dealing with something else I felt was heading towards an untenable situation for me.

Lo and behold, my worst fears were realized and my life is abruptly, frighteningly in violent upheaval.  The stress is huge, the anxiety gnaws and gnaws.  Yes, yes, don’t give it power, love myself blah blah blah.

Stress likes to manifest on my upper lip and I have a doozy right now.  It’s ugly and it hurts…much like the situation that caused it.

I tried a little retail therapy today and guess what, it wasn’t happening, not even when I told myself forget the Xmas shopping just buy something for me.  Nope, didn’t happen.  Apparently retail therapy only works on certain levels.  Now I know.

But what I can tell you really, really does the trick is some controlled demolition, and a little demolition goes a long way.  Yeah baby!

Just wanted to share because it’s been way too long since we last spoke.

Gotta get back to what’s left of that kitchen cabinet now… more soon.
