Alcoholism is a scourge we also have in the family, you’re not alone by any means.

sorry
I didn't have that problem with a parent, thank God. My oldest son was an alcoholic who refused help or to seek help.

In response to "Identity Theft Leaves You Vulnerable "

Triggered my memory of having a Bank of Montreal account, ages ago.

I use a local bank where they know my face; but, identity theft goes far beyond that. One thing about WDC I like is that much of my writings are here which gives me a fighting chance to retrieve what I've written and a chance to prove that anything I've written is mine.

As for passwords... I can't remember them all. So, yeah, some are far too simple and others are written down. I use my WDC account daily. That helps.

It's okay Lyn's a Witchy Woman

. I actually like the song... and sometimes its good to get the blues out of you so that the sun can shine again.

Those two songs are my blues tunes.

After I listen to them it is often good to listen to something upbeat like Overcomer.

In response to "Say Something.... I Was Just Joking"

"I was just joking!" would be my pick too. I have some family members who deliver horrible insults then act like anyone who reacts without a hearty laugh has no sense of humor and / or is stupid. It's mean all around.

Big hugs on the song triggers.

Yes, number 8 is senseless. It only shows how flimsy and empty the ideas or the talk of the person who says it. Mostly, I shrug such cliches off.

The video is... triggering.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost... there but not there.

Yeah... #8 is cruel.

Dealing With Stress

30 Day Blogging Challenge

I have a stressful day at work today ... What strategies do you use to manage stress in your life?
Given that I am going through a very stressful week... I can tell you that one of my things is to avoid the situation - prepping for a job interview - for as long as I can. I realize this only increases the stress, but I find when I get focused on it I tend to get overwhelmed and need to withdraw. I do a lot of that with TV viewing - mindless TV viewing - and reading. The books I chose are escapist.... that means romance in my world.

When I do settle in to prep I tend to do it during my peak time - mornings. But with supplying, my days are full. I have decided, for my sanity, to take Friday and Monday off to really focus. My interview is Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon I will just want to sleep. This will be my reward - a good nap!

When I am not quite so stressed, I try to enjoy walks along nature trails, but this is better to do when the weather is not so cold. It is -12 degrees Celsius and there is a wind chill on top of that... certainly not conducive to nature walks. Yoga is a better alternative. Music and singing often help and so does a good cry.

I also try to get a good night's sleep. Staying way from excessive junk food is also a good idea.
