::sigh:: I've worried for so long that people think I'm a slacker, tried to work hard enough that no way could I be called one.

Okay, this is what we're saying, and it sounds like you know it. You can make plans to slow down all you want, but you need to consider slowing down now; at least temporarily.

My blood pressure has been higher than normal lately too, so I'd like to know what they tell you to reduce it.

As far as being a slacker . . . that made me kinda smile. I hate, hate, hate being busy like that. I'm such a slow energy person, that I can only handle a few things at a time. I've struggled with terrible feelings of guilt over that for much of my life, because our society places such value on overachievement and the woman's rule in taking care of everyone else but herself.

You have to take care of yourself first. Let go some of that stuff. Get your family to help with the laundry and other stuff!
