STRESS!

Its official…I’m stressed! I thought for a while I was in a funk and just a bit overwhelmed with lots to do, but I can handle that right? Well…yes, but it is now time for a stress reduction exercise or something! Causes of my stress are work, my MA, feelings of inadequacy in aspects of my life, possible new (and slightly scary) horizons for my career, a very stupid car insurance related stress and right now it just feels like life in general is stress. I think this is in the forefront of my mind b/c I haven’t been sleeping well the past few weeks (from the stress and the bright lights on 24/7 at this building remodel kitty corner from my window that seems to cut through my blinds, which is so delightful!) and its Friday…which should equal profound joy at the idea of two days of relative freedom…but the spark isn’t there. On some level there are hormones (so freaking annoying!) to blame for the stress funk seeming worse.

However, FroggerGirl was raised to be a Pollyanna with a whole “I can learn and grow from this” attitude so fear not gentle readers…I will persevere and kick this stress in the booty! For the first time in a while my weekend will not be a definition of boring. There are things to be done with friends and next week is Thanksgiving and quality time with my Brother’s family, specifically the little sweet urchins he and his wife brought into this world. So to sum up this ramble with classic cliché style…stress sucks, but some good old fashion comfort food (in moderation) and a sunny day help…the rest will take a bit more effort, but I’m ready for it!
