Anyone else getting 'rolled' this week?

This week was one huge roller coaster - even the kids were feelin it. By friday all of us were wrung out and emotional. Yesterday was a waste, and today I feel like I am seriously physically afflicted

WTF? Where's the RELIEF? It feels like there's a rock on my shoulders and I cant get out from under the brain fog!!!

(Meanwhile my first week of homework in school is due, and this is the first "real" class I have taken in a decade and I am having major issues with that too...the stress finally lowered my immunity enough so my kid's cold jumped on ME too...achey, sore throat...)

Is all this SHIT related????

not roller coaster, but all down with fear. I get my work schedule at the end of the month and was very worried. Only had 7 days in September and with 3 people out last week, I hadn't gotten even a single extra day of work. In the meantime, I have property taxes, septic, hay and then my car brake light started coming on again (just spent hundreds of dollars on the brakes 6 months ago), and not enough money in the bank to cover it all. So when I got to work yesterday, I headed straight for the schedule, holding my breath.

I got 10 days for October, so finally felt relief that there would be enough money to cover all that before I'm broke again, but also relief that there should be enough work to cover me through December. We get very busy in December, while people get stuff done all at once to use up their deductibles and get as much paid for by insurance as they can.

I got a 3 hours of feeling relief and then the ER got slammed, and I started hating my job again, lol. Ran nonstop from 4:30 pm until just after 10:00pm.

So tired yesterday I got nothing done. Getting done today what was scheduled for today. Grateful for 2 days of rain. No outdoor activities without guilt!

But I did feel gratitude that not only did it stop for me in the nick of time, I really did need the time off from work that I had the last 2 months. I got exactly the time I needed, at the time of year I needed, to get Dahli started under saddle and get myself some rest.

And I forgot to add another sucky thing that ended for me is that the creepy janitor that was stalking me around the hospital all last winter is gone for good as of last week. Don't know if he got fired, but he got called into the office and then stopped staring at me all the time, and then announced he was going to live with his son 3 states away!

I followed your stories about him, ugh!

It sounds like you have seen the last of him.
I DO hope that things continue to improve for you!

She had surgery and made it through it so our hopes were up but then she crashed and passed on. It has been a horrendous week here. I love the shepherd but we have another small dog and though they all grew up together over four years we are watching like a hawk till we decide what to do. I hope things are supposed to get better soon.

I have family visiting so have really had no time to grieve properly. We are going to bring in a dog behavior specialist to evaluate the shepherd and help us figure out what is best to do. It has just been awful.

though my mojo and concentration are still whacked. Even my little girl woke up last night with a horrible headache...she's pretty "sensitive" so i think she's picking up on it too

heard there was a big solar flare this weekend coinciding with that narly full moon too...

18. I just got a call from the universe
Tue Oct 2, 2012, 04:35 PM
Oct 2012

my very good friend who just happens to be a healer called me out of the blue as I was thinking of her... ding!

she gave me the message yet again that the Universe wants me to go ahead and apply for disability because of this autoimmune illness, and release the stress of not being 'good enough' because i can't hold a job, and focus on HEALING/NUTURING/and following my purpose..
this is hard, lots of old paradigm wrapped up in it, the puritan work-ethic and all... I know this is the third time the Universe has told me this, and I need to pay attention. Just having a hard time allowing for the guilt and feeling like I am a 'let-down' of some sort.

hard stuff, and i am feeling worse physically too...gonna go take an Epsom salt bath and pray for a while...

Wow, now that is a direct message to lay any guilt aside and do it!

Time to change directions and do as the Universe wants.
I hope you will begin to feel better real soon. I will send white light and healing your way.
