Stardate: Monday, March 04, 2002

You know, sometimes when you are telling someone how you are, you can really put it properly. I don't think I could say it this well again, so I present to you an excerpt:

"Last week was on the fair side of hellish for me. Work actually affected my physically for the first time in almost forever. I was having bad dreams, I wasn't sleeping well, I was having aches and pains, and I was feeling overly stressed. It was worse than I have ever encountered. I would go home and feel fine, but when I went to sleep, my subconcious would really do a number on me. It was very bad.

This past weekend served as a mild catharsis for me. Not only was I away from the work that stressed me, but I was completely shut in with NO responsibilities whatsoever. It was almost perfect for what I needed. The only thing that would have made it better would have been COMPLETE SOLITUDE which living at home doesn't afford. I have been out of touch with friends for waaay too long. Last week was pretty much a stand alone event and not indicative of work in general. Overall work has been OK, I guess. A few mental speedbumps here and there (which sounds MUCH worse than it really is) but I think I've worked through them. At least I hope I have. I'm not big on insecurities and for the past few weeks I've been up to my armpits in it."
