We're Stressed - I Foresee A Bumpy Road Ahead

 DH was up for much of the night. He has an MRI scheduled for first thing this morning, and it's a bit of a drive south from where we live to get to that particular clinic. So, he left me a note asking me to wake him up when I leave. That's got to be my 4:30 am leave since his appointment is at 7:00 am or 7:30 am. 

He was up for most of the night, and has to leave for an 
MRI appointment early this morning. He's probably 
going to have to catch an afternoon nap or he'll be 
semi-comatose by tonight. 

I'll run into the same situation tomorrow when I have a 7:30 am appointment for my eyes, so I'll actually leave for that appointment right from the gym, maybe dropping off my swim gear before continuing south to my eye doctor, but maybe not. 

We've got some major roadblocks in our way 
while we try to get the store closed. There's 
nothing like government to toss roadblocks 
up and make them a total PITA. 

We ran into some major roadblocks for our store closing when I researched the requirements of our City for closing the store. It's not horribly difficult to arrange, and the cost is minimal for the closure license, but they also require an inventory list and our inventory records are woefully out of date and inaccurate. So, DH spent yesterday on the computer working on that issue, and I suspect will be spending a LOT of time dealing with that. We have some problem departments, and we'll just have to work through it. 

Our individual stress levels right now are through 
the roof. Just a LITTLE high - LOL. If we manage 
to get through this year and get the store closed, it'll 
be nothing short of a miracle. 

The stress levels we're both under right now are ridiculous, though. He;s snapping at me, and I'm pulling into my shall because putting on my armor allows me to deflect his attacks. It's not a really good way to work any relationship, and we won't be able to maintain it for long. 

So ... long story short ... we're stressed. We're stressed in different ways and expressing it differently, but we're both super stressed right now. I know we'll get through this, but it's going to be a rough road ahead until we get to the new pavement. Have an excellent day, I'm going to work out some of my frustration in the pool. Slava Ukraini.
