Two Weeks From Hell

I have had the most stressful two weeks I think I've had since Aubrey's dad died just before the wedding. 

I'm off the medicine by the way.  I started having panic attacks and was not able to function in a house with a screaming baby, a doting husband, and an angsty teenager.  I wanted to run away to somewhere quiet.  So I'm off the medicine, but still trying to walk every day.  And wouldn't you know it.... we've had rain storms for the past 4 days.  I'm not complaining.  We badly need the rain, but this happens every time I try to add walking to my routine.  So now I'm on the eliptical, which I can't yet do for nearly as long as walking, but it gets my heart rate up.  And I've noticed my face thinning out, so that's a good validation for keeping at it (along with my heart problem).  It's nice to see some changes.

My financial aid at school was audited by the IRS (randomly), so my payment will be almost a month late.  Once again, if I hadn't gone looking I would have never known and would have had one more reason to be stressed.  I had to choose between making my first school payment and paying our electric bill though.  That wasn't a fun choice.  I will still pay the electric bill but it will be a day or two late.  I hope they don't cut the power.  I can't pay it until next Wednesday the 27th and that's the day it's due.  I'll be working then so not sure if I'll be able to bring the payment directly to them or not.  *sigh*  I've had just about enough of this shit.  It's time for some normal, quiet, end of summer relaxation.  NO MORE DRAMA PLEASE.

Ok all that being said, it's time to bring the baby to preschool and get to walking.

Can the hydro company really turn off your power if you pay just after the due date? Wow! That's harsh.
Perhaps if you call them and explain about the IRS audit they may give you a little leaway. I know our hydro company prefers to hear from us when we are paying a little late instead of being left to wonder when the payment will be coming in.

I'm glad to hear that you can already see a difference in your face (weight wise) that's great.

Sad that these past weeks have been so stressful for you.
I feel your pain about the rain, we've had a whole summer of rain. It's just starting to get nice now, as the kids are getting ready to go back to school.
