Popular Post Parr8hed Posted March 20 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 20 with everything. Maybe frustrated isn't the right word. Maybe annoyed. My patients are seeming extra needy. Every time my co-worker opens her mouth to talk to me I am annoyed. I am somewhat used to my wife always telling me what to do, but it seems more annoying right now. I am done with allergies and being snuffly. Am done with my heel always hurting. Just fucking fed up with everything and everyone. We are going down to Tennessee tomorrow for Emmy's high school season opener. Hopefully a few days off, away from the clinic will help me. What do you do when you get like this? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to find gratitude. I get to go to a job that I mostly like. Think of things like that. Plus you get to go to Croatia and Disney for softball. 😀😀😀😀 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted March 20 Share #4 Posted March 20 I try to find a time for quiet - preferably at least a long weekend away where I can take quiet walks or just sit and watch the world go by. There are some animal rescues nearby and a weekend among the cows and sheep (as long as i didn't have to do the work to care for them) always helped my peace of mind. But if that's not possible, at least a long walk. I was often thankful my work location had some nice property where I could walk and look at trees, a pond, flowers and sometimes deer and other wildlife. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get prickly, I write it out, lift heavy, eat more vegetables, get sunshine, recite a litany of thanks. Some time away sounds good. And watching Emmy is always a boost. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted March 20 Share #9 Posted March 20 Reduce my online and media use to bare minimum. Lock myself in the leather shop and go for long walks or bike rides. Walking is a great opportunity for restructuring thoughts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am struggling to walk right now. Actually, walking is fine. It's AFTER walking that my heel hurts. I am working on it. And I do plan on having some bourbon this weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UglyBob Posted March 20 Popular Post Share #11 Posted March 20 Crusty and I head for the hills where I can't get a cell signal. Sometimes I'll take a pew-pew and take it out on a few targets. If you need a break from reality, tell the family you have an out of town conference and come see me. We'll get you fixed up. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part one answers part two! Vacation and bike rides or hikes are my "regroup and reload" options. Luckily, I also was successfully able to finish taxes yesterday (tax guy can handle the details) and as part of that, I also look over retirement $$$ and the Biden era has been insanely good to me. If only the healthcare bits were covered and I'd be permanently in vacation and bike ride mode by now. Once you're an empty nester, you'll be able to take it much easier, and a few days off can become many days off. With your in-demand skills, you are a very short time away from Easy Street. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vent a little. Maybe shoot some stuff, chop some wood, go for a bike ride, drink some brown water and just chill. Back when I rode my bikes, that was my fortress of solitude. Go for a night ride with good lights and just get lost in the rhythm of the bike. Remind yourself that this too shall pass and all things are temporary. Count your blessing. Look at where G Man is now. Think about where E is heading in the next few years. Take your wife some place fun for a day or a weekend and reconnect and recharge. Call your dad. He will tell you to put on your big girl panties and STFU. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted March 20 Share #19 Posted March 20 1 hour ago, Parr8hed said: What do you do when you get like this? It isn't all the time? In the old days, you would just skip town, hire onto a freighter, and sail the seven seas until you were too old. Then you would just find an equatorial island populated with mostly dogs and and a few fat chicks, and spend your days drinking green label, banging the ladies, and petting the dogs afterward. I think you should do that, or at least start planning to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
