Like I didn't know already?

Dear Body,

Believe it or not, I'm quite aware that I'm fairly stressed by multiple sources.  I figured it out even before you started sending me messages via indigestion, stress dreams, and lack of sleep.  I GOT IT, okay?  So you can quit it now, really.

Sincerely, me

You should try ladybird's technique of having other people have your stress dreams for you!

Oooo, good idea! Any clue how I'd go about subcontracting those? :)

Poor you! I hope the sources of stress (job busy-ness and job seeking?) cool off soon.

Combo of more than that. You're correct on the busy-ness and seeking, but there's also this Saturday (http://amethyst73.livejournal.com/67372.html) is where a lot of stress is coming from, particularly the recital. Which is stupid, because I know I'll do fine. And then there's the solo trip to my folks the following weekend. (It's never too early to start stressing!)

Yowsa. At least the recital and the solo trip are of finite duration. I always find I survive bad times a lot better if I can say "Only __ days until a day off" as a mantra, even if __ is a pretty large number.

Yup. At the moment, life is feeling divided between before Saturday and after Saturday!
