Last on this topic, at least I hope so...declaring truce...high stress and pain

[Guest guest]

Good morning,

I spent about an hour with my minister last night and he suggested,

that for my own mental health and stress levels, and probably for

's mental health and stress levels, that I stop the whole

argument. It feels good to stop it, but I am still hurt, very

hurt. This morning I sent him an email saying that for both of our

stress levels, we should just stop it. I then asked him about his

holiday plans. I am a great forgiver as I have had to do a lot of

forgiving in my life, including forgiving myself.

My pain levels are very high, but I only have today to get through

and then I am off for three days. Friday is resting with some

cleaning, Saturday is finishing up on the Christmas stuff and

Sunday, we will be going and getting the tree and then I work

Monday, Weds and Thursday, and go on an all day field trip to

Chicago to the Art Institute with the Arts department. I am off

Friday and then work Saturday, Sunday, off Christmas, work Tuesday

and Wednesday and then I am off for six days...

I am working on lace ornaments for some of my special new friends

and I am almost done...Hugs to all, Penny
