I'm packing today and I'll be off tomorrow. I looked in the mirror yesterday and I look a hundred years old . Yeah okay I've been in denial, I've been studying counselling for awhile now and I thought I knew how to handle everything ..........(You know, I know the signs and all that :rolleyes: Yep maybe ..........in everyone else :rolleyes: )

The lines on my face tell a different story though, my hair has gone all strawlike even though I've just had it cut and tipped. My skin looks awful and it's all dry and stuff. I've been drinking way too much and smoking heaps and putting on weight enough to sink the titanic. I keep putting off "me time" and "time out" and I'm getting headaches and ear aches all the time.

Basically I'm 'falling down' It was bound to happen sooner or later. I went through the stress factors and ticked off way too many.

so I thought .................I know!!!!!!! I'll go to the high country and kill some small animals

A friend has a hut up past Omeo that looks out onto the mountain ranges. Might even get some snow.

So I'll be gone for a few days to """de-stress" '''''' I may even come back a nicer person...................:yh_rotfl NAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!:yh_rotfl

Now to pack !!!! winter woollies are the go I think .

and promise me something you guys .......................If I don't go, or try to put it off

SHOOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!! :-5 It'll be better to put me out of my misery.

I add the pic below in the hopes that the resulting laugh will be the first step towards your rest and relaxation time, Fuzzy. Enjoy!

Awwh thanks AFTR!!!:-6

This is where I'm going. It's about 2 1/2 hours drive from here. The hut is about as isolated as you can get.

She's baaccckkkkk

Got back this evening . After awhile it got boring sitting reading and looking at rosellas and kookaburras and ancient mountain scenery.........................NOT!!!! I'll be going for longer next time it was a grouse place.!!!!!!!! The Victorian high country is very very old and rugged but it's sooooo cool. I didn't leave the property once. I was all snug in the hut. Boy does it get cold up there.

Pics when I can . hope all is well with everybody here. And yep Gilly I did go by myself. that was kind of the point really:)

I'm still stressed but it was a good break. Now back to life as we know it jim

I was just saying to someone that i'm off to see a counsellor soon. The only thing that put me in a position of stress was the plume of smoke that got bigger over the hills. I should have thought "oh yeah, they would be backburning now" but instead my body stiffened and I immediately mentally went through all the sources of water in the area. That's not good . I'm more traumatised than I thought, I'm having body memories. don't get me wrong I didn't panic or anything but my line of thought was not a normal one (this I know).

I need to see someone about this or I'll go nuts. Or worse, pass that situation onto my kids.

SO congrats KAZZA!!!! I'll give up soon to, just gotta get over this hurdle.

You were in the smoke way to much........body memories are normal...at that time you were really pumped up and just didn't realize what your body was going thru..........you should have seen your doctor sooner.
