How Many Axes does it Take?

Someone asked me what’s wrong and I was going to use this as an outline for a blog entry, but I don’t have that kind of time. The title means all of these issues are axes dangling over my head waiting to fall. Some alternate titles might include “Why I can’t just get over it”, “Why I look tired all the time”, “AAAAAA!!! AAAAAA!!!”.

• Divorce
• We are separated and I have no idea what comes next.
• Harvey and my stress
• Roof - leaks
• Car - went through some high water
• I wake at night in a sweat if I hear rain.
• I had no real destruction and everyone else is doing a better job of handling this.
• Harvey and my friend’s stress
• My best friend had his house flooded.
• Other friends had their houses flooded.
• House (other than Harvey)
• Floors need replacing
• Needs paint inside and out
• Could use some landscaping
• The siding on the back of the house needs some repairs.
• There is some water damage from the last hurricane at the back door.
• May have to sell in the divorce anyway
• Taxes are through the roof.
• We have a car dump next door.
• Ants!
• My father’s health (no details)
• My mother’s health (no details)
• My health
• My balance is getting to the point I have a hard time walking.
• I have headaches and I think it is related to something going on with my balance.
• I have a pain in my gut that might be blader infection, kidney stone.
• I have nightmares of having intestinal parasites crawling through my flesh and no way to prove to myself that they do not exist.
• I just don’t have time to fight the insurance to get fixed. That is a full time job.
• Work
• 400,000 bosses (everyone at the company) You remember that scene in Office Space where the guy complains about his eight bosses giving him crap about a form?
• One more fix that everyone wants to get in before I can do my job.
• Unpredictable hours
• Multitasking and the fact that I can’t do it. People at work say multitasking is bad and then put you in a situation where you can’t succeed without it.
• Having to depend on others is stressful.
• No one wants to commit to a decision.
• I found a desk that works for me and I live in fear that they will move me again “...  to disrupt people’s comfort zones.” Because God knows finding what works for you and sticking with it is a lousy way of not hitting the same problems over and over again.
• Overcommunication
• 9 million ways of talking and no one uses them.
• 9 million ways of talking and I can’t find the information I need.
• 9 million ways of talking and I don’t want to talk to anyone.
• 9 million ways of talking and I only hear static when I scream.
• No outlet and a million inlets leads to Kelly being an asshole.

Honestly, I’m afraid to start venting because I may not be able to stop.

Yup. Raining.

Out the window

I get to walk home in a be. Going to be goooooood and humid.
