Stress

Man have I been stressed out lately, but it makes sense. 

Here were my plans for the summer:

1) Go to a workshop in Dallas for 2 1/2 days — pay $200

2) Write two Visual Basic finals for the district with at least one person helping — also paid, $20 an hour, max of 20 hours over the three summer months.

3) Write curriculum for two six weeks for Visual Basic.

4) Go to a computer science symposium for 1 day

5) Go to Austin — UTA for 4 days for workshop

6) Go to Las Vegas for a two day workshop — drive there with husband – workshop itself paid for along with hotel room and food for me during the day.

7) Go to a one week AP workshop in Dallas.

That’s it, whole summer.

So what happened?

1) did

2) modified — only me working on it, did 20 hours in June.  I still have at least two edits.

3) doubled — I ended up writing curriculum for two courses

4) did

5) Canceled — thank god!

6) On the way to Las Vegas, literaly, just ate in Amarillo at a place called Rosa’s.  Not bad.

7) Still scheduled.

But I added an emergency visit to the hospital with a 3 day stay and added an semi-emergency vet visit with a dog, two days, and ended putting her down.

This morning, it was all I could do to stay somewhat calm.  I would get up, do a task or two, then sit down and relax.  Mom and my husband kept asking if I’d done stuff and it was all I could do to keep from screaming at them. 

I did freak out, put my “purse” in the backseat instead of in my bag.  That caused a u-turn, and am small communications problem with my husband.

Other than that I’m making it.  Barely.  Thank goodness for the shrink!
