the stress monster

so, if you've been keeping up with my latest posts you've probably heard the news that my brother has been missing. as worried as we have been about him being gone, our worries have been put to rest temporarily. he posted a picture on instagram yesterday so we at least know that he is okay and not in a ditch somewhere. we have determined (by our recent detective skills) that he is somewhere in Alabama. we are trying to find out the exact place soon so we can get the police to go get him. it's been a whirlwind of feelings. frustration, anger, sadness, confusion, wonder,... and the list goes on. it's just more stress than any of us needed at this point. as you may have read, the other day I decided to "turn over a new leaf". well that leaf turning was temporarily put on hold due to the stress eating that went on during the past few days where we haven't known where Zach is. i am very embarrassed to admit that you could've found me cradling a bag of chocolate covered pretzels more than once these past few days. well now that we know he is okay, and now that my worried feelings have turned into feelings of anger and frustration, i can really take this seriously. i'm sorry for letting you (and myself) down these past few days, but i know it won't happen again!

wish me luck
