My hands hurt

[flexagon]

I'm doing pretty well, destructive-stress-wise, mostly just because I've been in far worse pressure cookers than this one. But I still wake up every morning with my fingers curled into little stress-fists, no matter how I gently flatten them over my stomach as I'm falling asleep. One of the first things I do in the morning is s-t-r-e-t-c-h them out and then start monitoring them so they don't curl up again.

Last night: editor bear cancelled our date because his baby is sick, so I worked late and then tangoed. Most of the people there last night were the good ones, and I'm getting good enough (at least on the more basic steps) to relax and enjoy it, so that was mostly great. Now I'd really like to get work done, but today is the company barbeque, with a seminar at 10:00 just for icing, so I can almost count on it being a wash. Maybe I can come in tomorrow for a while after looking again at the chapel space... dunno.

Hand massages

[hiddenbear.livejournal.com]

I agree with the rest ... hand massages seem like the best idea for the physical. If HLM won't give 'em to you feel free to ask whenever we are out ... I need to work on my technique anyway.

As for the emotional, all I can say is ...
Hope you feel better!
Take it easy!
It will all work out!
You are the mack daddy (mommy?) of all things business, wedding, and life!!!
