i had the weirdest dream which i kept waking up from. it didn't really seem like a dream until i had gotten up this morning and saw that everything is fine. anyway in the dream i kept having really bad pain in my stomach and esophagus. it was like a ball of tension in my stomach. anyway, i guess it was a dream because now i feel fine.

there is stuff going on at work. i am leaving on vacation next Friday and yesterday my boss told me i must be caught up on all my work. so i guess i will work overtime (which i hate). it's not really a big deal if i just come through and work extra. i have various feelings about this: anxiety I won't get done in time, anger at being criticized and being told what to do.

love, rich

R.,

I have been having some weird dreams as well...

...and I have had dreams where I am in pain, only to wake up and feel fine...weird! (do check and see if you are experiencing any reflux while asleep, as laying prone can be a trigger for this.)

I hope that you get the work that you need to done. Try not to think of it as being a negative thing...even if you owned the company, and were your own boss...you would still have to complete the tasks before you could leave. It is just the way successful business work....and the added overtime will be financial bonus, right?

Wishing you the best as you prepare! It is going to be a great trip!!! ;)

Rich,

I have weird dreams too but mine are more like nightmares.
I wouldn't stress about the work. You obviously know exactly what needs to be done in order to complete the tasks and just keep reminding yourself that you have a great vacation to look forward to once the work is done!
Just keep a positive attitude and you'll do fine :)
Good luck!!

Work related anxiety can be aweful. I believe it is what started me on this anxiety roller coaster. Don't worry about being told what to do. I own my business and believe me, the grass is not always greener on the other side. When things get bad just remind yourself how blessed you are to have even have a job.

Have faith that you will get your work done and that you'll have a wonderful trip! We'll be with you along the way!
