Stress

Stress is funny thing. It can just come upon you with no warning, or it can slowly build up. Two of my staff are off with stress/anxiety ast the moment. I had no forewarning of it. One day they were here, apparently normal, next day they were on the phone crying to me about being stressed.

My life is quite stressful at the moment.Let's itemise

1. Money worries- perennial problem, always overstretched. I must deal with it rather than manage it, but that would involve lifestyle changes my wife does not want to make.
2.Mother in law- more or specifically father in law's reaction to her recent knee replacement operation. The seems to be recovering well bit has slipped. She has had minor setback and is in quite a bit of pain and is not very mobile. This has turned my father in law into a raging loony as he struggles to come to terms with it all (and if I'm honest I suspect he doesn't much like being inconvenienced)
3. My daughter's GCSEs. I don't know if she is stressed but I certainly am by it all
4. My wife (see all points above which makes her quite stressed at times and she is behaving strangely)

But what would life be without stress? Pretty dull. But I might like dull at least for a while.

UPDATE Mother- in- law has torn her hamstring!!
