Signs of Stress
- jagged fingernails
- a spoon and carton of ice cream (eliminating the middle-man: bowl)
- snacking when appetite-less
- fetal position in the shower
- black tears
- screaming
- silence
- running to the serenades of Coldplay or the Killers or Snow Patrol
- Fingers aching from writing in excess; words that will never see the corneas of another living human being
- raccoon eyes
- a forehead that cannot relax
- restless sleep
- sleepy during the day
- carb-fest at every meal.
- getting reacquainted with my old BF: peanut m&m's.
PS. It's been rough.
Step away from the ice cream...put your spoon in the sink...Sounds like post-CUWP letdown syndrome. I miss it, too! I think we need to get the gang together and party one last time before school starts. Hang in there, amiga!

Thanks, Chris. I just went for a run. It always seems to make stress-levels chill out.
ReplyDeleteSorry your life is sucking right now. Whatever it is, hopefully it won't last forever. You can get through it. You're a kick-ass woman. It'll be OK.
ReplyDeleteSorry to cause you so much stress.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tex. I hope it won't last forever either. Somehow, I don't think regular visits to the chiro will help with the weight I'm carrying.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you can make it better.
Sorry about all the stress-crapola! In my best Rob Schneider voice, "You can do it!"
