Bionic Teutonic

Eep, the slow creep of stress has invaded my existence the last week or two. I’ve been taking on extra responsibilities at work due to a coworker leaving, plus there is the home remodel, painting, and other various other stress inducing chores. I feel a little bit like the free time that I do have is a necessity in order to keep plowing forward. I’ve not been able to fully enjoy it as I’m aware that I must return to chores/work/whatever at 7:30 sharp! Yesterday, I found myself getting stressed out and generally peeved at my soccer game, which I normally find to be a stress reliever (I blame the referee). I also feel like kind of a baby for feeling stressed out. It’s not like I don’t have ANY free time, and sometimes I feel like my tolerance to stress is a little low, but on the other hand, it’s my sanity and personal well-being we’re talking about, which is important. Somewhere I read once that most people’s first insinct when faced with stress it to try and increase their tolerance to it, instead of avoiding introducing it in the first place. It’s a balance I suppose, and right now, I’m feeling a little lopsided. Stupid adulthood.
