ON THIS DAY:  In96 Nerva was proclaimed Roman emperor after Domitian was assassinated.  In 1618 the twelfth Baktun in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar began.  In 1793 the first cornerstone of the Capitol building was laid by George Washington.  In 1809 the Royal Opera House in London opened.  In 1851 the New-York Daily Times, which later became The New York Times, was first published.  In 1870 Old Faithful Geyser was observed and named by Henry D. Washburn during the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition to Yellowstone.  In 1927 the Columbia Phonograph Broadcasting System (later CBS) debuted with a network of 16 radio stations.  In 1977 Voyager I took the first photograph of the Earth and the Moon together.  In 1980 Soyuz 38 carried two cosmonauts (including one Cuban) to Salyut 6 space station. 



One can always determine the level of stress based on the self-medicating with comfort food as well as the sleeping levels
  1. Stage one:  anything that doesn’t move faster than I do is in danger.  Carbs in the form of bread, pasta, and cookies are especially needed -- and then there is ice cream and drinks.  You know, all the stuff that really realy taste good but isn’t good for you?   A good example of this is when I went totally off the rails after Trump was actually nominated for President – I blame the bad habit of watching the new for weight gain and blood sugar issues and have been struggling to break that habit.
  2. Stage two:  Food doesn’t appeal.  Unfortunately, this does not mean an disinterest in treats like dessert or special dinners, but on the whole, the volume of food consumers goes down although the blood sugar may not.   Meal planning becomes too much trouble, or after planned, one decides that one doesn’t really feel like eating that particular meal and grabs a couple of quickie snacks.  Sleep tends to be impacted and really restful nights become rather rare. A good example of this level of stress is the time after June 27th when my daughter learned that she had breast cancer.
  3. Stage three:  loss of appetite and a growing disinterest in food, to the point where one forgets to eat.  In addition the ability to sleep lessens, resulting in a sleep pattern that is more like napping than actually sacking out.  I haven’t been in this mode for a while, but a good example would be when Frank died.   I lost weight and it was literally months before I was able to start sleeping in the bed again instead of just dozing on the sofa.  I have to say that each divorce had the same impact, which led one ex to accuse me of immediately going “on the hunt” for a new man since I had slimmed down

 
I know that worrying doesn’t help and that stress shouldn’t be allowed to govern one’s life.  How do you handle it when it arrives?
