Manic Monday

To read

This is the time of year that I consider the most challenging, at least this year. Usually the husband goes off to that big party in the desert, and I stay home and make do for two weeks or more alone. This year I am starting my masters program, classes and practicum, going to therapy for at least a few weeks in a row to catch up with my therapist, and doing everything that I need to do for the Social Security Administration so that they give us the waiver and we don’t have to pay back thousands of dollars. Needless to say for someone who already has anxiety disorder, it’s pretty easy to feel stressed out of my gourd.

Tomorrow I have my practicum orientation, SSA paperwork to fax and mail, therapy and the usual daily chores. I also have to email my schedule to my new boss and hopefully get word back on the internship that she suggested I try out for. I anticipate moderate levels of stress and some wishing that I was at home and not surrounded by people.

Wish me luck, loyal reader!

    Sounds like you do have a handle on it, at least at the margin (accounting academic talk), my sweet. Keep up with things and know that you have support out here..moral support, at least. And lots of love.
