I have a confession to make, however sometimes I feel like I’m losing my goddamn mind and I am not at all in control of the situation, and this happens most often when my anxiety takes over and I begin to lose my sense of security… Oftentimes, when I am feeling upset to the point of crying, I bury myself in my work to cope.
The next thing I know, I’m working from dawn until dusk and feeling like an insane person, it’s hard when you are linked to a iPad all morning, because your brain easily starts to run wild.
That’s why, I have decided to start studying some strict boundaries for myself when it comes to my work morning, and namely, when I feel the central cooling system kick into gear I know that it’s time to quit for the night, then you see, these days I’m the only lady who’s working from house and using the central heating and cooling system, however my partner returned to her office a few weeks ago, leaving me here with the central Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system and an empty house, rather than operating the big heating and cooling system all morning long, I have been turning the control unit settings up so that the A/C unit barely works all morning. If the indoor air starts to feel stagnant, I will turn on an overhead fan to increase the circulation. Otherwise, I’m fine working without powerful A/C blasting away; As soon as my partner gets home, however, she instantaneously goes to the control unit and turns down the indoor air temperature. Whenever ice cold air is streaming from the vents overhead, I know that it must be about 7pm. That’s when I quit my task for the morning and finally take a chill pill.
