Working it Off......

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

Yesterday was a tough day. I took my car in early and after a couple of hours, I learned I had a manifold problem of some sort. They didn't have time to remove it and couldn't keep the car inside overnight. It was really frustrating and I was beyond bummed.

I picked up some prescription food for Billy and stopped to get some lunch stuff before going home. I felt like I was going to explode so I spent the next couple of hours cutting back perennials in my back yard in the wind and cold temperatures. I then went to the dump and got rid of the bags I had filled. Working off bad stuff was what I did and now I am waiting for another car appointment for next week.

I have found that work is one of the most productive uses of frustration, Sheila.  I did a little of that this morning!

Hi Sheila- redirecting all of that energy is a good way to get away from what's driving you crazy. I never like it when I have car trouble.

Morning Sheila.

Well what can one say that hasn't already been said.  The only question I have, why would they not let you leave the vehicle there?

Hi Joe. Thank you for noticing. Billy seems to be holding his own. He is on meds for lyme which he has had before. After the 28 days (G-d willing) I will have him tested again for the kidney thing. I continue to be scared and worried but everyday is a gift.       Sheila

I've gotten to the point where the next time my car has an issue I am just going to trade it.  I'm begining to decide what I'm going to buy.  I need to start going and test driving a few.  Bigger is coming this time.  Gotta have room for the baby seat.

Good call.  Physical activity is a great way to come back to normal... and your yard probably looks way better too!

That is super frustrating but I know the physical workout was therapeutic and helped you calm down and relax.

Things always seem to be compounded on us when we are already stressed about someone we love Sheila Anderson .  I hope the car issue gets resolved quickly as I know your attention is needed for Billy and your other kids right now. 

Hang in there...I still have my fingers crossed for Boston
