March, The Worst Time of The Year
Sickness and stress is all around me, its tax season and as you may or may not know I'm a senior accountant for an accounting firm here in Wisconsin.
March is my low time, a time where my health and sanity are pushed to its outer limits. A time where there is no sun in Wisconsin and everyone is becoming very impatient about the weather and wishing for spring to arrive.
With over 1200 tax clients I'm exposed to a lot of germs, people coming in with their tax information sitting across from me, coughing and wheezing.
So how do I ward off all this sickness, no sunshine, and stress? And how exactly am I doing this tax season compared to other years?
Lack of sunshine and lousy weather doesn't bother me, I'm getting comp time which means for every extra hour I work I will receive back during the summer. So I'm very happy about this, so far I've got 9 weeks of vacation time banked up for the summer. Lots of camping, hiking, fresh air and sunshine. I know this overtime won't last forever and indeed it WILL be over in April. Besides the weather outside sucks so might as well work anyways.
Here's what does bother me.
A number of years ago I had a reputation for being ill in March. It seemed that every March I became ill, so ill that I ended up in the hospital for a week. One year I had a kidney stone that caused barfing, fever, and flaring up my MS symptoms. I was in the link for 10 days including a surgery to get the blasted stone out of my. It's was ugly I tell ya.
Other March's I would be finishing up tax season, and be so stressed, tired and worn out. By the end of March I would have a MS flare-up and end up hospitalized on prednisone. One week later leaving the clink yellow from all the drugs.
Our home this year has been hit hard with the flu, Christine and Caroline being first and now my daughter Alex. All of them went through high temps with body aches, and runny noses. You can imagine what I'm thinking. They get the flu and get over it. IF I GET IT I END UP IN THE HOSPITAL. Fevers for me mean I'm bedridden. The increase in temperature causes my legs to give out until the temperature is gone.
How I Have Conquered the Month of March
So there are my worries. But here is my true reality.
I'm having the best tax season I've ever had. And to be perfectly honest with you it's hard to believe that April is right around the corner and I'm almost done.
So what changed this year?
The removal of stress. I'm no longer taking public transportation which means I don't have to wait outside in the rain and cold. No more waiting for late buses. I love being picked up and dropped off each day in front of my home and office.
My Dad no longer own's the business. There was great debate regarding my dad and whether I would take over the firm. It's finally over- no more stress.
Meditations, Affirmations, Vitamins, Whole Food Diet: I've been eating great, meditating, exercising, taking my vitamins and eating no meat and all veggies and fruits. This has made a big change in my life. All of these things have warded off sickness, the flu and colds. I haven't had one little sniffle.
