Just in time for Lent, I've gotten over my cold. Which is great timing since now i get to put up with the headaches associated with not having caffine. Thank God for tylenol. Some people are convinced that the headaches are from not eating rather than caffine. If this was true then why did I have one when I ate lots that day?! Drinking more water will probably help...that stupid timer on the coffee is beeping, why can't the starbucks barista turn that fuckin' thing off!
While I was sick, I had some really bad days. Days where the stress of church politics was so overwelming that I would cry for 30 minutes straight whenever I was by myself. It pretty much sucked. To make matters worse, I wasn't getting enough sleep, I had to rest one afternoon at Dad's because I was too tired and sick to drive home. The only benefit that I could see from being sick was that I lost 4 pounds.
The shitty thing is that the following weekend I was on retreat an had to eat way more than I usually want to because everyone else was eating so much at meals. This resulted in regaining those 4 pounds and another pound. Piss me right off!
And then ther's the dumbass work shit. As a response to the threat of my church hours being cut back, I'm increasing my acs hours. I think it's a good thing, but it does mean that in 2 weeks, I'll be working an extra 5 hours a week. I think I can manage this...but I'm doubting it a little, cold be that my stress increases and I respond in some way. At least there is only 1 month left of the stupid fuckin' employee!
