Stress? What stress?

Several weeks ago, a coworker asked me in an IM what had been stressful in my life…is that a loaded question or what?!? Here’s the gist of my response:

My Durango died an unspectactular but fairly final death on Christmas eve day so we got rid of it, we had to buy another used car (with money we didn’t have) which had to go in the shop after only a day and a half (which cost $600 we didn’t have), we got hit with unexpected bills in Jan and Feb totaling another $1400 (which we didn’t have), my daughter is talking (again) about going to Australia for college, then decided she isn’t going (for now at least), my son is being difficult with everyone, my sister in law asked my brother for a divorce out of the blue, and in the last 2 weeks, I have had hives that lasted for days and bronchitis.

How are you?

In the end, we decided that as long as we can laugh about it, there’s hope.
