This week has been particularly stressful; my job as a realtor can be that way sometimes. It just seemed everyone was angry this week-not to only me, but to a couple of my real estate friends. I truly believe we were victims of other people's SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and consequently we bore the brunt of people angry that the weather sucked. Store owners were snappish, some clients were angry things weren't going the way they had hoped and to top it off, my poor little fur-son, Elmo Bower had an ailment that required a hospital stay. $4,900 later, he is home, but being hand fed and coddled. I am glad this week is over and becoming warmer, without snow. So here's what I did to relieve stress. I went to my favourite class on Thursday, and although the tiles of my mosaics were not co-operating, I was glad to be amongst my new friends in the group. Carolyn had forgotten her picture so didn't want to do her work; she shared funny stories and leafed through magazines. Rebecca's fish is coming along; nice, young girl..really like her. Kari's project finished last week and she struggled to pick colours..she had a eureeka moment near the end of the evening and was satisfied with her mosaic tile colour choices. I love my group. Fadia Gabra was teaching this week; her and her husband Akram run http://www.glassmosaiccanada.com/ and I'm so glad I met them.
So, what else? I walked Elmo about 10 times, saw robins picking through the grass, picked up leaves and then started planning what to do tomorrow in the garden. The One of A Kind Craft Show is on..may toddle down there. Oh yeah, I'm also reading a new book called The Happiness Project. Really liking it. Made a decision to not watch re-runs of stupid sitcoms and dramas. I would rather read, daydream, do my mosaics and garden. That's the way to relieve stress!
