Confessions of a vertical junkie

Confessions of a stress junkie, overachiever, perfectionist, control freak, doer:

I do not thrive on stress much to my chagrin and the disappointment of everyone around me who thoroughly believes that stress is what makes me tick. I am stressed because I believe I can accomplish the impossible in the most efficient way in a minimal amount of time and I set out to prove that every single day. My own to do list is overwhelming and yet when someone says, “You know, you don’t have to be Wonder Woman,” I cringe. Why not?

I had a long talk with a fellow “doer” and realized she is insane. Like me. And that our insanity is not necessarily working for us or for our loved ones. So it is up to us to figure out a way to undo.

And along comes T-Bone, my superhero, my mentor in the art of monotasking, relaxing, enjoying, and pleasure seeking. Hail to the horizontal way of life.
