A day off

The stress is finally getting to me! I need a day off (well really I need more than a day). I need some time when noone is sick, I don't have a paper to write, a house to clean or a meal to cook and I can just relax and enjoy. Recently, I have been completely stressed. I am stressed at work...future aspirations hanging over my head, lots of responsibility, just lots of work. Grad school just stresses me out period....lots of reading, lots of papers, too little inspiration. I feel constantly stressed about finances (I know I'm a budget and control freak but I can't help it!) Carl's job is stressing me out...lots of hours, sometimes Saturdays getting in the way of already made plans. Laney and Alie stress me out in a good way. I want to spend time with them, but I feel like work/grad school are pulling me in a million different directions...And then there's me. I know its selfish, but I really would like some me time...some time to float in the tub and stare at the ceiling, or to lay on my couch and mindlessly watch some of my trashy tv favorites. I have been trying to do relaxation things (thanks body and soul) but sometimes, time just seems to be slipping away from me..grrr.
I'm really looking forward to Opening Day...I have such high expectations since I am taking the day off and going to the game. I hope it doesn't rain, that may just stress me out even more! Oh well...less than a week to go. The problem is, when I count down to these things, scary meetings or projects get closer as well. Better stop procrastinating and get back to work!
