observation mode

So the housemate walked in 

and announced quite casually 

that he is sick of this shit 

and wants to move back 

to have his mother care for him. 

We’re not making him feel welcome. 

It’s a ploy to be sure. 

He wants to scare me 

That if he’s gone - I won’t be 

Able to take my vacation. 

On the other hand,

If that’s what it takes

Then I’m all in. lol. 

During times of serious stress

It’s most important to eat right

100% and even do some 

Gentle walking and easy fasting

To help clear out the stress. 

I know I go into emotional eating mode

And that’s probably a throwback 

To days of ulcers and stress. 

Some ulcers are soothed by food.

This was 12 hours of sleep 

That didn’t really settle down. 

I know it’s stress. 

That’s why it’s a killer. 

No matter how strong 

or prepared you are,

There is always someone out there 

Who would destroy you if they could. 

They’re all kinds of 

“mental health misfits”

Who don’t have a full blown mental illness 

But they’re definitely on the spectrum. 

And it’s hard when you get hooked up with one.
