On top of everything else...

One of my favorite books to read (particularly when sick or stressed) is A Wrinkle in Time. I've read it at least fifty times. Minimum. It opens with a scene in Meg's attic bedroom during a storm, and it says some version of "It's not just the weather. It's the weather on top of everything else. On top of me, Meg Murray."

I feel like that right now. No one particular thing has me stressed. In fact, things are going really well since I'm almost done with school (can you believe it?!). But right now lots of little things are creeping in on top of me.

It's been too long since I've seen my best friends.
It's been too long since I could sleep in.
It's been too long since I haven't panicked about paying bills.
It's been too long since I haven't had exams hanging over my head.
It's been too long since I've felt good about my body.
It's been too long since I've been healthy.
It's been too long since I've cooked a real meal.
It's been too long since I've watched a sporting event of any kind.

I feel like I've been trapped in this stress capsule and I can't seem to get out. I'll be done with exams on Friday, so I think the next thing on my list is to make a new list of priorities. Like eating well, exercising, budgeting my money, cleaning my room regularly, spending time with important people, etc.

I can't wait to hit Friday at five...I'll be done with law school. And hopefully free to see all of you! Send me your good thoughts for my Grat Tax exam tomorrow!
