I'm failing at relaxing...


HerNameIsBuffy

1,072 views

I've looked forward to this morning for so long, but I'm still stressed.

everyone knows I am only checking email periodically and if they need me they must text or call...otherwise I'll deal when I get back.

this was made emphatically clear.  Do not expect me to respond to email.

so I haven't checked it and no texts/calls so no emergencies.  But every time I hear my work email chime I physically clench.  I want to check it to put my mind at ease, but I don't want to check it because I know I'll deal with the little stuff and that's teaching people even when I say I'm unavailable except emergencies I don't really mean it.

i should turn off the email chime - but I can't.  I don't know why...I just can't bring myself to do it.

i suck at staycationing.  Trying to learn from the animal kingdom but still failing.

Turn off the damn chime!  Give yourself permission to turn it on at, what, 6pm each day for ten minutes, or whatever works for you.  But that's only allowed if it's OFF the rest of the time.  Here is (other than reading FJ, of course) what you should be doing when the chimes are incoming but unheard by you:

Thanks, @church_of_dog, those are awesome!  I caved and checked email.  And responded to a total trivial thing by remoting in and was so mad at myself I turned off the chime.

the silence is deafening.

then I spent 15 looking for the other half of the candy bar I swore I out in the freezer last night, until I saw the wrapper in the trash and remembered I finished it later in the evening.  All in all a productive day so far.

      Pennsylvanian man wants in on the action with his 25,000 bags of heroin

      Quote

      According to a criminal complaint, Ydale Thomas, 35, was behind the wheel of a Ford Explorer when it was pulled over for traffic infractions late last year by a state trooper patrolling I-76.

      Thomas claimed he was returning home to the Pittsburgh area after having driven earlier that day to Philadelphia, where he had purportedly sold a dog to a man at a gas station.

      The trooper concluded that Thomas was being “deceptive.”

      The affidavit contends that, “It cannot be overstated that Philadelphia, PA is a source location for the distribution of narcotics, and a regional epicenter for all criminal activity” and is “a hotbed for wholesale narcotics trafficking stash houses.”

      FTFY

      Also -- I think Braggie is too lazy/ unconcerned about toilet training the "twinbies".  I suspect one of the older BroDads/ SisMoms will decide soon to do it themselves because they are tired of cleaning up poopy diapers, etc. I don't believe for a nano second Braggie does it herself.

      I don't think it's a genuine MCM. I think it's an imitation. A $6000 piece of forniture in perfect shape is not sold for $500. Yes, sometimes this happens, but I suspect Abbie is lying to appear as the smartest buyer. She is noot overspending, she is nooot spoiled, she is investing!

      Either it’s not genuine (anyone remember the “apothecary table” from Friends 😂), or she paid a lot more than she admitted. It’s easier to justify overbuying when you pretend every purchase was a major bargain.

      This sounds like Rachel had her baby. Or am I reading it wrong?

      That baby looks huge to be a newborn. But my newborn also currently wears preemie and only weights 6 pounds even tho was born at 38 weeks
