Sick from Stress
My dad died 2 months ago. My friend Josh died 2 weeks ago and his funeral is on Saturday.
Stress is making me sick.
I've been fighting to keep the house organized, keep my appointments up to date, keep my kids out of trouble, keep my marriage a priority, and keep my mom company - which means my health and friendships keep getting put on the back burner.
I'm currently fighting a sudden onslaught of deep chest congestion and pressure - so much so that I thought I was having heart issues. I had bad chills at 4:00 a.m. and a fever this morning. But still, I couldn't be still - I emptied the dish washer, helped get the girls ready for school, sold our old car, and worked from home so I wouldn't disappoint anyone.
I need a day where I am not mom, daughter, wife, friend, or employee.
I mourned and celebrated Josh's life by watching (read: weeping) RENT.
