Anxiety From Sitting In A Broken Chair All Day: But I"m Learning!
You may wonder what this could possibly have to do with being an entrepreneure as the category states...
Well, I am beginning a new chapter in my life and it is all about starting an on-line business.
After I had a heart attack in August of this year (2006) I just felt lucky to have survived.
It was just my husband and I at home and I was at loose ends wanting to find something I could do and still have time for friends and family.(I did get a kitten!)
This all leads up to the chair I sit in at the computer. It is a throw away from a customer of my husbands and it" LOOKS" pretty good....untill you sit in it for a few minutes.
It has a mind of it's own and I keep saying that I am going to phone up the lady that owned it before and ask her about the history of this "wonderful" item. My husband is always bringing "good stuff home".
This morning I started off sitting nice and high in the chair and I was so involved with my work I didn't notice that 6 hours later I had been slowly and sneekily(if that even is a word ) lowered 8 inches.
I never thought I would ever get so wrapped up in anything again,after the heart attack that I realized I must have found the thing I had been searching for.
My on-line business...
Being so taken by the process of setting everything up and all the computer skills I am learning I even forgot about the anxiety I was feeling when I began.
I have come to the conclusion that if you keep your mind busy it is better than taking a pill,at least on some days.
But the some days have been many days since the computer came into my life.
It had been in my kitchen for a few years and it was mostly for the children when they were in school.
As I said, there was only my husband and the kitten to compete with me for the CHAIR!
The kitten likes the 2 cushions and 1 pillow I have on it right now. The comfort level is a -1 I think,if chairs could have a rating.
Tomorrow we are going to fix it with a couple of clamps and some wire. "That ought to do it ".
I know this article is on the light side of things but after you experience heart attacks,hospital stays,poking and prodding along with tears and uncertainty I tend to get a little kiddish now and then.
That is another thing I found out (and I'm learning everyday). It never hurts to throw some humour into the mix. If it's free and it's not hurting anyone why not laugh at life and laugh with and at yourself.
The person that said "laughter is the best medicine" sure was right. The stress of the day is relieved when I can have a snicker.(a laugh if any young ones are reading this)
Oh, and by the way........ my back is hurting and my wrists are burning. Where have I heard that before?
The chair is having it's last customer of the day... because my bed is calling me.
Come to think of it,it isn't that comfortable either!
