Clearing My Head-Worry Doesn't Solve Things

  

I worked out solve atrial solutions, though it will take a few weeks to determine if there is enough fix available to solve a $780,000 problem. It's a situation where I, my work, doesn't technically own it, but we will own the fall out of the other organizations  mess. To that end, I'll keep looking with a fine tooth comb at any possible solutions, big and small, that nip away. I'd be less stressed if I felt like my connections are carrying the worry them selves. I actually had "FYI" in the e-mail. This isn't a situation where you just casually tell someone, "Hope your day is going well. Oh by the way, we're going to need another $580,000 on top of the $200,000, after you already solved $600,000 of our problem. FYI." Yes, it was about that flippant. I will find what solutions I can, and see what the remainder of the year will look like.

     I got a good night sleep though. Worrying isn't going to find a solution and me being tired isn't going to help me do the rest of the job well. My boss and team were a really good support. I've final learned that holding the pressures, particularly in the work place to myself, is not required. Even just talking out loud, sharing the remediation steps from when the problem was first identified, getting it out of my head and being affirmed that I have down a darn good job so far helping them fix, helped me move on. 

     It was cold, but a long walk with pup, who was happy as can be, helped clear my head. I also caught a few minutes of "A League of their Own." DH bargained for free ShowTime for three months. Actually for my birthday later this month, DD1 is taking me to a movie and food theater to the same movie one of my favorites. Someone posted about their mom serving in the military in WWII, and my career is a result of the many women that went into the work force to take the place of men overseas. I love this movie as another  look at how life in the US moved on in war, and how women were at the core. Dinner tonight will be an easy burrito bowl or burritos depending on how DH makes his when he is home. I'll walk pup then eat, or I might have to bring my "fake out" Chipotle with me to Trivia. Trivia is a good brain clearer as well, and likely my last opportunity to play this month since I travel next week and then it's Thanksgiving week. 

     What do you all do to clear your head so you don't let worry consume you? Are you like me, and try and own too much of problems not of your own creation? Any tips for moving on that worked for you? Is anything keeping you awake nights right now? Don't keep it inside! Share in the comments.
