Stress

After a fun, whirlwind weekend with my mom and Ron I am forced to face the fact that this week will be very busy and trying. I have to work my regular hours, but Anatomy class is getting more difficult, I have a quiz on Tuesday, and I have a business plan for Professional Development class to write by Thursday. We are also planning to travel to Alabama to pick up a car that my dad is selling us, and I'm not sure if we will be able to go July 4th weekend as planned because therer are no rental cars, and it is too expensive to fly. So we might be going the following weekend.

I just feel like I have a million things going on at once, that my life is completely disorganized, and that a nice peaceful, restful time for me isn't in the cards for awhile. I would LOVE to be able to spend like a week or two in Alabama with my Dad instead of having to rush back to Chicago, but there is this annoying little thing called WORK to attend to. Shit. I could really use a vacation, but since I have undergone so many job changes recently this just ain't gonna happen any time soon.

I figure at the rate things are going my life will settle out a little in about a year. By then I think things will be somewhat normalized. I hope. At least school will be finished, and I'll have been at the same job for awhile. I'll have some vacation time to take. Dave and I want to go to Thailand so I can study Thai massage with Dr. Bob. I'll write more about that later, but that's a goal I have for next year.

Anyway, I usually get this kind of anxiety on Sundays and I know it will pass. I think having company always sets me back a little bit too, though I'm SO grateful that my family was able to visit! It was wonderful seeing my mom and Ron. Anyway, gotta hit the books before bed. G'night.
