A Day Off

I am taking the day off from life. I am feeling very stressed out and most definitely overwhelmed.

I think about the enormous amount of stress I am going through now and compare it to what I was dealing with this time last year. I would so much rather be where I am now. Life is sooo much better now, but still hard at times.

Honestly, it's mostly situational. Most of my stress will be over after Christmas. But I can feel it overwhelming me and making its way through my body. I don't handle emotional stress very well; it tends to manifest itself physically. As I realized this weekend just how much pressure I have been under and how run down I was beginning to feel, I decided to stay home and rest.

I am normally a very light sleeper. But these past few days I am sleeping long and hard. I have even slept through the ringing of my phone, missing a call and a couple of texts. I am sort of worried I'll sleep through my alarm too.

Tomorrow I am back to reality. If anybody has any good news about anything, I'd love to hear it.

I hope you have enjoyed your day. I hope you feel refreshed.
I am glad that if you have to feel stress, it is at least a positive stress and not the kind that you have dealt with in the past.

Love you,
