Okay, so I know I haven't been here for very long, but I need to let off some steam. We are having this huge inspection on our base and people want to come play around in my program 3 eff'n days BEFORE the inspectors get here and change/lose part of my stuff!!!! WTF! I've worked every weekend for the last two months to get this stuff ready in time for another office to say oh, sorry, we deleted this without telling anyone and I guess it turns out you needed. Hope you can find dates for all 331 people in your unit. SERIOUSLY? You didn't talk to me, you didn't get approval, you just did what you wanted to do. ON top of all of this, I feel like I'm letting my circle down because I haven't been attending. I know they understand with the inspection coming up and all, but still, I feel the responsiblity of being there. I love the high priestess and I know that she is affected by this inspection too and she has been going.  You know how you hang out with a group for a long time and then you stop for a while, that akwardness that happens for a little while until you get the swing back together...I feel all out of wack with them lately and she seems more on edge. She let one of the guys do the full moon ritual which he did by himself, I don't consider myself a stickler for anything in particular, but I kept thinking, he didn't cast a circle, he didn't do this, blah blah blah and I tried to come home and do my own ritual and I just couldn't focus. I tried the other night and I just feel like I can't get centered to that happy peaceful place.

Anyone have one of those days that just seems to bring everything that's been going wrong crashing down? You think you've got the stress managed and then this one little thing tips it all and you look around going...."wow, where do I start to try and put this all back together?".

Hug a tree!!!! Seriously it works to ground and center yourself or if no trees play in the dirt.  Feel it working through your fingers.  Feel all of your tensions and stresses falling away.  Also you could take a bath throwing salt and vinager in the water for purification.  when you are finished envision all of your cares and bad feelings swirling down the drain.  Hematite is another thing I wear (by the way I got to get me more) hehehehehehehe.  Lavender destresses also.

Hope that helps some.  Also this is a great place.

It will come back together, as will you. I know, stress that is, only too well. Look within yourself and count on your friends. It's not going to be easy, never will. And the tree thing doesn't sound bad, but I am a bit biased and really like trees and woodlands. Thats where I hide and regroup on a regular basis.
