I am definitely one of those type A people but I try to keep on the back burner. However, recently the smallest things have sent my blood boiling. I know why also. I am addicted to exercising. I have not gotten in my walks or elliptical circuits this whole week. This is mainly because I have been dosing myself with equal parts benadryl and hydrocortisone cream with a nightly ice pack lounge on the couch. This may sound strange but with a severe reaction to the lovely mosquito bites I got from a day/night out at the lake. It has taken time for me to recuperate which has led to noticeably higher levels of stress. I am very happy that my normal workout routine of evening walks can now be reinstated as of tomorrow. I did laundry and walked and danced today with minimal bite aggravation.
So word to the wise. Start rounds of ice packs, benadryl and bite cream "baths" sooner than as soon as possible to shorten the recuperation period and hopefully avoid unneeded stress.
(I'm stressing about doc visits - vision and girlie - along with the fact my absolute fav pair of jeans is gone for good. With a body like mine good jeans are like finding a needle in a haystack but ending in a very depressed me moping in front a ice-creamless freezer wishing it to appear.)
