stressing to the max ...

Time is running out ...


I don't mean my lifetime {although, it most certainly is, if we want to be morbid about things ...}, but my time here in Pikeville. And with the all-too-quick elapse of time comes the all-too-frequent rises in my stress, and I'm sure my blood pressure, level. I am planning to make the move from eastern Kentucky to central Ohio in two short weeks. I started apartment destruction yesterday ... emptying my closet {the walk-in that never really was due to all of the junk that kept making its way there}, going through cabinets, starting packing boxes here and there. I'm not sure that I ever really stuck to one task at a time. I sorted, I piled, I put a couple of things in boxes,  I donated, I threw away, I began a shredding pile since I was too lazy to plug the dern thing in and run things through as I found them. Now, I imagine that two weeks should probably be plenty of time to pack up and prepare to move, but I'm stressing and flipping out nonetheless. I'm heading to Columbus next week for a couple of days and I was hoping to spend the next week in Virginia, spending some time with my familia and helping them get a few things done before I take off. I don't know if that's going to happen or not, but I surely hope that it does. At any rate, emotions are high, stress levels are through the roof, and I'm about to have a fit and/or a major breakdown.


I also need to prepare for my online class that will be gearing up in a few short weeks ... teaching two classes in June and July, in addition to running around like a crazy werewolf or a wandering vampire {yes, I've been reading the Twilight series this summer ...}, have zapped every last smidgen of energy from me.


So if you're reading this, PLEASE say a prayer for yours truly. I know that everything is going to be fine. I know that it will all come together as it always does -- God has His way of always working it out. But for some reason this evening, I am stressing and I am stressing hardcore.
