How frustrating...

Was suppose to go and catch up with a friend tonight for her b'day. Organised to go round there at about 8ish. Just texted her to let her know I was leaving soon, to find out she now won't be home untill around 9 and that I should go round then. Why is it that it is so difficult for some people to comprehend the fact that you are working and can't go out till all hours of the night, especially when you have to be up early for work. It just frustrates me to no end.

Work is going good too. Came close to a panic attack yesterday when I realised that the caterers stuffed up the delivery for our board meeting... So I had to race down and get it in my car. Just thankful that I was in the car when I felt it coming on. managed to get that under control quickly though by focusing on my breathing, and telling myself that there was no-one I was going to let this happen and I had to control it. So I'm learning how to manage the anxiety, which is good. The only bad thing was the aftermath of all he adrenaline that surged through my body because of it, took me a good 2 hours to calm the shaky feeling I had.

Car is going well, purring like a kitten again. I missedd my car when she was playing up. So annoyed at petrol prices though, I had to get rid of the stale fuel in my car, coz when my mum owned it she rarely put petrol in it coz it's on gas, so I had to run it to pretty muc empty and fill it with petrol, and run that down too. Well I filled up yesterday, and I'll say this I am thankful she normally runs on gas, $100 to fil it on petrol, compared to $40 on gas. I wouldn't be able to drive that thing into work if it was on straight petrol, no way.

This is a problem with people, they don't think. I am in the same boat - role reversed with some friends who don't want us there at night any more which is sad as we won't see their boys. I have given her some options to think about so maybe it will work out that we will continue to catch up. Hope you do see your friend.

Great work with the panic attack. You are managing them and it seems everytime you have one, you do manage it better.

Glad the car is working well and getting you where you want to go. Go the gas. Hubby has gas/petrol and he is the same as you, uses the gas and has a bit of petrol to get us home if we run out of gas.

Go Jess!!!
