I had a different post all ready and waiting for today, but I changed my mind. I need to vent. (It's my blog and I'll vent if I want to.)
This has just been a hellacious week. I'm stressed with work. I mean stressed. Things are so busy and I've got deadline after deadline to meet in addition to getting a lot of extra stuff piled on me. I know work gets that way... and usually I can handle the stress, but for some reason, not this week.
Then I have the bank account drama which some of you know about. My checking and savings accounts have been hacked and wiped clean. I don't know if I'll be getting my money back or not. It's enough to make you cry. But I haven't. I've just been really cranky.
On top of everything else, I haven't been sleeping very well which makes me all kind of emotional. In turn I let things build and build until the dam breaks. Like it did this morning.
My grandmother's medical alert system called me this morning. Since I'm the third contact, I started to freak out... I've never had it reach me before. So I'm trying to get to my grandmother who lives 45 minutes away. I'm screaming into the phone, trying to get her to acknowledge me somehow, but all I hear is the dog barking. Then my dad calls. And I loose it. I'm driving 90, on the phone, and am basically a sobbing mess (I'm sure I broke about 10 different laws there). Turns out it was a false alarm. My grandmother hit her button accidentally and didn't realize it. Because she's 90+ years old, she's basically deaf and couldn't hear me SCREAMING at her through the phone. My dad didn't intercept the first call because he was in the shower.
Oy vey.
I ended up getting back to work and having to sit in the parking lot for about 10 minutes to get myself under control. The dam had burst and I couldn't quit crying. Actually part of me still wants to be crying right now, but my professional side is saying buck up. So I'm bucking up.
I'm just grateful today is Friday because I'm not sure I could handle another day. I really might lose it. But venting does help. Thanks for listening.

Oh Star! You poor thing! I had a day very similar to yours last Wednesday... I just wanted to lose it! After two different encounters with the police and a lot of other mess, I ended up being 2 hours late to a huge dinner and had to hold it together with everyone asking me a million questions... Just gotta hang in there, and once you're alone you can let it all out!
Whatever happened with your bank account?! That is so terrible! If you mentioned it on Twitter that's probably why I've been out of the loop... I don't go on it as often anymore. I'm so sorry for having to go through all that... Money problems are pretty much the breaking point for everyone, regardless of the situation... I hope everything will get resolved for you very quickly, I'll say a little prayer for you! You have my s/n if you need anything. xoxo
Oh and PS I'm glad your grandma is ok
