There has been a lot going on in the workplace as of late. A lot of change and uncertainty right around an already stressful time of the year. And as a result, my hives, which unfortunately are perpetuated by stress, have been thriving.

Late last night my right eye (aka old faithful) started with its typical swelling (caused by my annoying, chronic urticaria/angioedema) and because it was still swollen shut this morning, I decided to work from home.

While chilly, it’s a beautiful and sunny day in the concrete jungle and I couldn’t help but share my view from my home office. My coffee is in Turkey and my bum is on my couch.

So screw you stress, screw you!

How do you de-stress?
