The world keeps spinning
 
I have been pulled in so many directions the last two weeks I feel like Stretch Armstrong. Primarily at work but also at home and in the program. It's caused some old anxiety symptoms to flare up. But this morning, I remembered what my sponsor told me. And I happened to just suggest to a sponsee the other day.

DONT TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY!!!

No matter what I get done, or don't get done, the world WILL keep on spinning.

Good news - I got a big pay raise.

Bad news - My state funded health insurance was cancelled do to my new income bracket.

Good news - I can now afford a Health Care Act plan.

Bad news - It's going to take a few weeks to get it implemented.

Good news - Most of my meds are available at a discount at Walmart.

Bad news - They will still cost me a half a weeks pay per month.

Good news - I got the hours I wanted where I work.

Bad news - I got an eye infection that is causing me Quality Control issues at work.

Good news - I found an eye Doctor that is giving me a substantial discount on his treatment along with hundreds of dollars worth of free med samples.

Good news...

Bad news...

"the world WILL keep on spinning".

I'm right there with you. This last month has been pure chaos for me ... but I think the majority of it has been created in my head (even though some bad things really did happen). Just one thing after another. I really wish things would just get back to normal for once. But this is the part where my program is really put to the test. I need to stay connected to the program even during those bad times!
