stress’d

Hey, Kimli! You’re looking pretty frazzled these days – what’s up?

These things are currently marbling in my ass as we speak:

  • Bank and money issues – I know Ed’s taken care of them, but that doesn’t scrub away the feeling of being violated or my usual concerns about the money we owe and don’t have
  • I’m getting sick – I can feel the germs convening in my orifii; plotting to overthrow my immune system with five additional types of herpes
  • My astronaut contract ends in exactly two days, and although I know I am getting a new one, there have been no conversations about it or the fact that I am drastically underpaid for my role
  • My mom has officially put the house up for sale, and there have been some viewings already. If it sells (please please oh please), I’ll have to take a week off from work to go help her pack, move, purchase new furniture, do paperwork, and generally convince her that I’m an excellent daughter and totally worth giving some of the house money to
  • I miss video games
  • I am SO SICK OF RAIN
  • My favourite jeans are starting to become a little ragged to wear in public on a regular basis; all my other jeans suck, and it’s too wet/cold out to haul out the spring wardrobe
  • I feel fatter and uglier than usual, despite my new haircut and jaunty nautical sweater
  • One of my fellow astronauts recently had the Norwalk virus and another has a cold/flu with fevers and mucous and now my melodramatic hypochondria is in full gear – I’m not just getting sick, I’m getting life-threateningly sick!

Oh I totally don’t have time for ANY of this, and I also need a nap.

One thought on “stress’d

  1. Take a 1-2 hour break on Thursday and come game with us. We are all a bit rusty and need to relax while doing that thing we love so much but are too damn busy. You deserve it!
