Why so much stress? Well, it goes without saying that work is stressful. The continuing cuts to education funding makes each year harder than the one before.
And then I have yet another health problem. I mean, really, wasn't breaking my leg in April enough? Apparently not. I had a CAT scan a week ago to see if I had a concussion (smacked my head into the mantel while cleaning -- doesn't everyone do that?). The concussion was mild, but it turns out I have severe arthritis in my right jaw. And I am nowhere near old enough to have such a severe case.
For some reason, that news really upset me. But I've begun physical therapy and it is feeling more manageable. A friend says I should use it as an excuse to go to a milkshake diet ... which is tempting!
The bracelets are a simple right-angle weave with 2 x 2 squares, embellished with fire-polished glass beads. They helped. And they have fewer calories than a milkshake!
I hear you on doing more and more with less and less. The program I work (Emotional Disorders) in is a district program and bases behavior modifications on a "token economy" but there is no money in the budget to purchase goodies for the kids!!!
ReplyDeleteToday is the last day of my 6 week medical leave, so back to the grind tomorrow.
LOVE your bracelets. I too bead, know if I wear any jewelry and a kiddo gets wild any jewelry may be broken.
Take care and craft on!
