Somedays... I just hate life.

I haven't talked about my anxiety lately. The trip to the accupuncurist actually seemed to help, though it wasn't going to be a one-shot wonder. But I haven't had the familiar tightening in my chest on a daily occurance like I was having.

But, it's back today. Actually, it's been back occasionally in the past week and a half.

Today however, it's hitting me full force. Besides my usual "work sucks" "what am I doing" "dear god I hate this job" attitude, I know that I've been feeling overwhelmed the last few days.

Our house has been a disaster area. I'm a former Marine. I like things nice and orderly. Clean. I clean better then my wife. I do the laundry, dishes, etc... My wife is the slob of the family. I live with it.

But, with all the home improvement projects going on, our house has been quite the mess. So that's one thing that has been bugging the shit out of me.

Today, I find out the wife and child are sick yet again. Wife - Bronchitis. Child - Strep Throat. When. Will. We. Catch. A. Break? I'm out of sick days and vacation days for the year. Totally. I'll be getting 2 more sick days for the year, but I haven't "earned" them yet.

I can't wait to drink a couple of beers when I get home.

There's Loving your animal, and then there's "loving" your animal.
