Stress

I'm pretty glad that I decided to make this blog because I so much on my mind right now and I need to let it all out.

(1) Finances:
Omg, when don't I think about finances. This paycheck on the 15th is suppose to be a pretty nice one BUT of course taxes take out a good chunk and my bank account is negative $70.01 so that's going to good deal of my paycheck too. Then everyone and their mother needs money from me! I also have to pay rent at my new place on the 15th so this paycheck is going to disappear fast.

I'm trying to take care of my loan stuff so I can pay off all my bills. I'm so tired of bill collectors calling me every hour! They'll get their freaking money I just don't know when yet....OMG I just did some math and I'm feeling a little better about this loan stuff. As long as everything goes through, it looks like I'll be able to pay off more stuff! I hope it all works out.

(2) Health:
This may sound a bit paranoid but I get more and more concerned about my health. My first concern is not that big of a deal but it just really bothers me. Ever since I had mono, my voice hasn't been the same. I feel like I've been permanently congested for the past year and I know I've never been an amazing singer but I at least use to like hearing myself. I loved to sing because I got my voice from my father and I cherished that. NOW I get headaches when I sing, my head fills stuffy and it's like my voice is echoing. Ugh, I hate it. So I'm going to try to go to an ENT doctor to see what the deal is.

My second concern is a bit more serious: My right breast is significantly larger than my left breast by 1 1/2 cup sizes. I know we're not built perfectly symmetrical but this is ridiculous. The reason why it's such an issue is because Breast Cancer runs in my family. When school starts I want to have it checked out at the clinic. The female doctor is really nice and seems pretty knowledgeable. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid.

(3) Weight:
You all know that I worked really hard since to beginning of the year to lose weight and from January I lost almost 25lbs. Well since school let out for the summer, I've been terrible with my diet and I haven't exercised at all. I'm really disappointed in myself because I've gained 4lbs and the new clothes I've bought are starting to get tighter. I hope with Marching Season starts, the exercise from that will help but I've still got a long way to go before I reach my goal. I just can't seem to get off my lazy ass and start working out and to also stop stress eating. That's the worst!

(4) Moving:
I'm suppose to be moving tomorrow but I don't have anything packed and there are certain items (like my bed) that I won't be able to move until Ryan is available (he works till midnight tomorrow). I probably won't be able to fully move out until after school starts. That's ok but it's also frustrating b/c I'm so scattered right now.

(5) Mary Kay:
I've been slacking majorly on my Mary Kay work and I feel really bad about it. Not only is it hurting my finances because I can easily be make a few extra bucks but it's also hurting my director. If we don't make production this month, she will be demoted and we will be moved to a new director! How awful is that? My two biggest issues are being lazy and being scared. Weird thing is, I don't know what I'm afraid of. I'm good at selling Mary Kay and it's really not that hard but for some reason I'm too chicken to pick up the phone.

(6) TBS:
I'm getting scared but I have some great ideas for the fall and we just took a huge risk in fundraising but I'm getting so freaked out now! We're doing a major fundraiser the first week of school. We bought and personalized koozies to sell with drinks for this big event we're having called ORANGE DAY. We could potentially make a lot of profit off of these but they cost a lot of money and if people don't buy them then we're screwed! (Ok well that may be a bit dramatic but still...) If this doesn't work then it's going to fall on my shoulders! I'm just so nervous because I want nothing but the best for our organization but it's so risky. I hope this all works out well.

(7) Marching Band:
My final worry (for now lol) is Marching Band. I'm going to be a Music Tech, meaning I'm going to help the flute section learn their music and what not. Being drum major in HS was the closest thing to doing this but I most focused on the marching and conducting part. And I hope that I can earn their respect. I just don't know that expect or how to prepared myself for this season.

And this part is no offense to Kerianne what so ever: I had a lot of ideas for the BMB but it's been severely lacking and frankly, I'm still a little hurt about not making SA and everything that went down in that room. I just hope I can prove that I was meant to have that position and hopefully make SA next year.


*sigh* Anyway, now you've had a glimpse into my brain...scary huh? lol It just helps to get it all off my chest. Thanks for listening!

I'm so sorry that you're going through such a rough time! It can really take a toll on your body when you're stressed out so don't forget to take care of yourself! Journaling definitely helps me too :) You can always call me if you need to vent!

Don't forget to eat well and take a walk every few days to let off some of this steam! It's going to get even more stressfeul with school starting so please take care of yourself! It's never fun to get sick <3
