Awwww...{{{Anne}}} I'm so sorry.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thanks. I'm in a better head-space now. When I'm conscious, it's easier to turn off the worry. I'll get through this, although I'll probably have a few more mini-meltdowns before it's all over.
The good news in all of this is, I haven't resorted to stress eating the way I have in the past. Big victory, that.

Sorry for the sleeplessness, Anne. But a big yay on not stress eating!

That is truly a big victory, in my mind. I think in my last job, I put on about 20 pounds over the last six months I was there, thanks to stress.
I've also started yoga classes, which I'm hoping will be a help when it comes to learning how to quiet my mind.

Oooo! Yoga! Fabulous! I think there's a new yoga studio opening up a few blocks from my new place. I'll have to check it out once it opens.

Well, huh. Looks like this is actually an established studio that's moving into my neighborhood at the beginning of September. And, as part of their moving, they're running a 90-day special for $95! I might have to try that!

{{{Anne}}} Sorry for the lack of sleep, but yay for no stress eating! What others said: you caught the error and you didn't make the error. Sorry that it is making your work life more difficult.

True. What's killing me though, is wondering if I should have caught this much, much earlier, and if that's what my boss's opinion will be.
Still, this will tell me a lot about what kind of place this is to work when something bad happens.
