Stress

A mundane blip but it’s my current view and maybe some interesting things to see to someone.

Quite a stressful day. Still waiting on news, still taking on all the anxiety on behalf of another person. S was invited to her friend’s birthday party and the weather wasn’t quite nice enough to ride the bike such a distance. I decided to take the pickup, something I was really nervous about but I knew the road well so felt ok. That was until I discovered the Glen road was completely closed, I thought it would just be a delay. I had to drive the Hill road which is not a road I’ve driven often by myself, let alone in a great big vehicle. The road is in awful condition and passing places are few and far between, I am fine reversing but I worry about meeting other vehicles on dodgy corners. The bracken was so tall on the road sides I couldn’t see what was coming around the corner so I drove very slowly the whole way, a really long detour and I felt pretty nervous the whole way. S enjoyed the party on the farm and seeing her friends. On the way home I was expecting the other end of the Glen road to be open so went that way home, only to discover the road was to be closed until 5pm so I had to go home via Tob. That was fine as I know the road and there are loads of passing places. I got home this afternoon and felt hungover with stress and the built up anxiety. Pilates and an early night for me.
