I found my solution to all of the stress in my life right now.
I have a benign tumor in a muscle in my back that I scheduled to have removed on Monday. Doing the surgery gives me 13 days of paid time off from work to relax, rest, and just plain unwind. Plus as kind of a jab at work they had one weeks notice that I was going on medical leave.
I know there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, I'm a realistic optimist which helps me greatly deal with work stress and GID. One day I will be a beautiful unique snow flake but for now I am moisture forming in the summer sky.
