I have let stress get to me this week -- and added stress myself for no good reason except I take it on when I do not need to for some reason. Came to a head today at work where I got rather frustrated and was rather crabby all day. Particularly short with a colleague whom I greatly respect; not sure why but when I get stressed I withdraw and try and be short to stop any conversation -- and those I respect the most seem to get the shortest shrift for some other unknown reason: perhaps as I do not want them to see me in this state I try and hide it -- but fail miserably given I am not acting as I usually do so it is clear as day something is up. I sent an apology e-mail afterwards [a kind email came back]; but I just wish I did not go there in the first place.
Lord, have mercy.
