Today has been stressful. I had more planned to do than i could do and then a call this morning requiring to grab a quick shower and leave for two hours. Then i cam back, ate fruit and string cheese and started making calls and talking to voicemails. Went to a meeting for lunch and managed to make a sandwich with one slice of mutigrain bread, lean turkey and a little ham and eat it along with tomatoes, pickles and a few olives...no chips, no mayo, no cookies, and no croissant. In Nov i skipped this meeting as i didn't think i could eat right....so some good progress there. Now ATT&T was supposed to send me a rebate on my new phone according to the person i spoke with in Oct....last call rec waiting about 60 days which was Dec 30th....so decided to call again....45+ min on phone found the email that was sent re the price but can't find out how it was supposed to be that.....so finally after disc changing carriers, why do i want a contract with a cancel fee if i didn't get the discount and more, i'm getting a 150 dollar credit...while not the 200 i was supposed to get...way more than i had before. Next I tried to make some more calls and again spoke to machines and only one person. Additionally my son flys back from Israel to NY tonight and last nights flight was cancelled as the plane couldn't get there.....yesterday the flight left ny just before the storm, but would they send his group or the ones that were to leave yesterday and today the flight couldn't leave ny this aft and they cancelled it again. A little while ago i found out that he made tonights flight and if all goes well he will be back tomorrow. He's learning how much more mature and educated he was about travel than these students he is dealing with...he said if he could have sent 5 home the group would have had such a better time and he is ready to be done with them. His 4 biggest problems were not from the students he works with....one of his became a hanger on but the problem was they had no real way to make these kids listen to him, the other person in charge, the guide or even the security person....when all you can do is ask them to behave you can't get anywhere when they keep on doing what they shouldn't. I think this job is teaching him what he doesn't want to do for the rest of his life.
The stress made me want to eat but instead i have drank, and drank, and drank and not the alcohol that might have been more relaxing....but i didn't eat and that was a major victory over todays stress.
