SWEET! We already have our house booked & tickets bought! woohooo! Now I just need to decide if I’m driving or flying down (the last 2 years of road trips I swore I’d fly the next year).

This line-up was fun news for an otherwise very bad day. Today I wrestled with this gigantic file that sucked up SO much of my time that I was close to looking like one of those people on the side of the road with my hair pulled out in all different directions, walking around in circles and grumbling to myself.
Oh & I cut my thumb really bad with one of my brand new knives. Ironically trying to open the frickin’ package of them! blah!
I hate feeling like I’m fighting for time every single day. Time (or lack thereof) = Stress. I’m starting to recognize that I think I have small anxiety attacks every once and awhile. I mean, I don’t know how I feel about labeling them that, as they’re not that bad, I don’t think, but overall I am just starting to notice when it takes hold of me and makes me start to feel absolutely immobilized.
Lastnight I tried to work through the feeling and basically am trying to figure out if I can realistically (aka sanely) juggle what I need to over the next few months, or if I need to set some boundaries and re-set expectations on a few deadlines, etc, so that I don’t freak my shit (to put it lightly). Right this second I’m going to go to the gym because all I can think about right now is how stressed I feel and I don’t like it!! Crap. I don’t have time. I’ll have to go tomorrow morning first thing!

Hey Willo – What did you think of the Editors? I missed that post if you did one.
I’m still contemplating Coachella this year. Two of the four knuckleheads I went with last year have backed out, and unfortunately the two that want to go are more annoying than the first two. Talk to you soon!
