I pulled so much today. I don’t have any idea why. All of my stress happened this weekend, so I don’t understand why I’m pulling today so much. The gist of the story is that I took my husband to a really nice hotel on Saturday night so we could have some away time with no distractions. While we were gone, our pipes froze. So on Sunday afternoon, I had to crawl under the house to thaw out the pipes. It didn’t go smoothly, and while no pipes burst, it did take until Monday morning for them to thaw out. I spent hours under the house in the below freezing whether and negative windchill.
I couldn’t pull then, of course, because I had on four layers of clothes, three hats, gloves & mittens. So my only thought is that all of my stress and anxiety about the whole situation just built up over the weekend, and because I’m so tired out from all of that, I relieved it through pulling today. I’m not really used to a “delayed reaction” like that though. I don’t really have anything else coming up that should be anxiety producing, so that is the only thing that makes any sense to me.
I have to do better tomorrow at not letting my hand go up there in the first place. I’ve found that the phrase “the best defense is a good offense” holds true in Trich. The more that I can keep from even getting started on pulling, the better off I am. As soon as I pull once, it is sort of like the floodgates open and then I can’t stop.
Tomorrow is a new day, and hopefully it will be much better! Now if we could just get rid of some of this snow & the cold windy weather.
