If you are going to use the same tissue to blow your nose and clean your eyeglasses, you should clean your glasses first.

Don't take everything so personal. Often enough it's just people expressing their emotions in a bad way, without even realizing it. Especially when it is a child doing this. Be the adult. Stay calm and explain the effects of their actions/words on you and if possible, help them find a better way to cope.

Your thoughts determine your reality. If you think negative stuff all the time, you will behave in a negative way and be treated in a negative way. "Your focus determines your reality". - Master Obiwan. Really.

Reading posts here on BP and in other publications I have reasoned that you can trust no one.

Some people will pretend to be your friend because they want to play with your toy, or want your cookie. This lesson was learned by my son in first grade.

I have a few.
It's okay to admit you feel overwhelmed. Not everyone handles stress well. Say something and take a break. It could prevent an accident. If your boss won't let you because they have to find someone to cover you when you say you need it, that's a managerial problem now, not your problem.
You are not a slave to your job. You have the freedom to quit, look for a new job. Heck, you don't have to work the 2 last weeks if you just cannot do it anymore. Never let a toxic employer make you think otherwise.
You are not below anyone and deserve to be treated with the same respect and courtesy as anyone else, regardless of position and how much is in the bank.
Humility is a hard pill to swallow and everyone experiences humility. It's important to learn lessons and feel shame. That is the universe's way of reminding you that you are not more special than anyone else. You may get some leniency or a privilege here and there, but not always.
What job you do is your business. Do not let anyone make you feel less educated, less worthy just because you work any type of job. You are not obligated to reveal that sort of information to someone just because they ask. If you want to, that's okay, too. Same with invasive questions about your pay and health.
Take care of your health. You only have one body and one life.
Clean your home regularly. The more you do simple things like, sweeping the kitchen after you wash the dishes, and vacuuming once a week, or however often you need to, taking out the trash regularly and not leaving food out, can prevent infestations for you and your neighbours.
If you do get an infestation of mice, NEVER put bait traps inside your home. Place them on the outside. Put glue traps, snap traps, live catch traps (whatever you desire) inside, all around the edges and entrances of your home. Stuff steel wool all around the baseboards, in any holes around pipes that go in the wall, check the in-wall air conditioners, and poly-fill any cracks and holes. Spray strong peppermint oil, and put lavender room freshners all around. Check under your bed and look for signs where mice could have chewed. Throw out anything that has yellow crusties. That is old mouse pee. Get pest control to put bait packets in the wall, if you are in an apartment. This will prevent birds and other creatures eating the bait.
It can take weeks to clean up, seal up and freshen up your home. Always check around the baseboards and under furniture before you vacuum. Do not vacuum or sweep up mouse droppings. Treat it as a bio-hazard. Gloves, mask, paper towel, bleach. Spray Nine is also very good at eliminating viruses and bacteria, and eliminating scent trails. Spray Nine does not ruin carpets like bleach, but you may end up wanting to replace flooring eventually. Nothing gets out mice urine stains, no matter what people claim.
Do not assume sounds in your home, such as cupboard doors opening, tapping, knocks in your closet, are because of ghosts. Seriously, check your walls and take a flashlight to the dark corners. I'm sure you'll find the real culprit.
What seems like a minor but sudden bump to the lower back can become a major, long-term injury. The sciatica nerve is delicate and agonizing when injured. It can take months to heal. Same with muscle trauma injuries. It's been over a year and my daughter is still unable to walk for long and sit comfortably. She relies on a cane and is only 22.
