How high do you think your stress levels are at the moment? I'm working a lot, going to university full time, have homework piled up to my eyeballs, and keep getting sick. My brain is like :willy_nilly: right now.
eh, not super high when put in perspective. But I'm taking classes this semester and we need to record music, I'm just really ready for my summer roommate to move out so we can start turning her room into a studio. I get stressed when I spend too much time partying instead of doing productive things.
Right now, getting better. Our water heater quit on us a few days ago. Been without hot water, taking cold showers since then. It was 26 years old, and corroded to death. Fortunately it didn't leak, but the pilot light underneath began getting bigger, and the water hotter, due to corrosion in the pilot gas line. Finally it just went out. Almost exploded when I tried to re-light it. When WHOOMPH in my face. So, I went a bought a new one at "Home Depot", and have been spending the past few days figuring out how to install it myself. Slow process learning how to do it right, but I'm persistent. After several trips back to Home Depot, I've got it all together, and now the pilot won't light on the new one. I think it's due to air in the gas line. I need to purge the gas line but my son is afraid I'll get exploted all over him,,haha. But it's been stress city, trying to get the hot water back, for laundry, baths, showers, etc. It's pretty chillaxin to step into a cold water shower. Oyahhhh,,, But even after I get this going, I've still gotta do work on the car. It's always somethin'
Oh that really sucks, sorry to hear that Laura. Hey what are you studying in uni? I'm trying really hard not to get stressed out at the moment, but I'm kinda in the same boat with you.. just too much on my plate. I have less than a month until I have to hand in my final thesis and it's nowhere near ready. And I've not been able to work on it much lately since the whole pregnancy thing has kinda taken over my mind (and body too, I've never felt this sick in my life..). Which is totally how it should be too. But it still doesn't change the fact that I have to finish my thesis too, and I so want to as well so I can just hand it in, forget about it and focus on the baby. Oh well, nevermind, sorry about the rant. Anyhow.. good luck Laura!! You're a smart girl, you can get on top of things I'm sure.
I enjoyed this story. though you know honestly in this weather cold showers are nice and I always do my laundry on a cold cycle. but I think it would definitely get old pretty quickly
Awww Kozmic you are so sweet. I'm studying journalism. I'm only into my second semester! Oh wow. You do have a lot on your plate. I didn't realize you were doing a thesis! That's great. You're handling a lot. At least after this month it's over and you can focus on your baby! I couldn't imagine being pregnant and studying. You're my idol.
I liked the cold shower this afternoon. Chilly at first, but then you get numb,,haha, Got me singin' the hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah. Real, and fresh,,haha. by the way, great vids on youtube. :cheers2:
I realised how unimportant most things actually are. I stopped worrying about the big picture and decided to focus on MY life, changing the things I could, and living with th rest. I found a job I really love. I live in the sun. I practised smiling more. It really, really works.
