I'm not one to get stressed out very often, but when I do it's awful. I literally do not get paid until this weekend and have no money. I was sitting in my engaging, interesting classes today trying my hardest not to fall asleep from exhaustion and horrible eating. I always eat well so my body is NOT used to the absence of fruits, veggies, wheatgrass etc. I admittedly have spent far too much money on coffee the past few days.

Then I went to a couple auto body shops to get quotes for the damage on my car. Take note that I still had not eaten yet. Turns out that to get it fixed is going to be about $2,000.

Afterwards Nick and I went grocery shopping. Something we had not done in over a month, which is quite odd and out of character considering that we like cooking together. So, we went grocery shopping, I snacked on a cinnamon roll and was thrilled at how quickly my mood changed.

Afterwards I came home to read an assignment for English, which happened to be a personal essay on a woman with multiple sclerosis. After rearding that my problems seem to not be so bad, and I feel selfish for getting so stressed out about things that can and will be solved in a matter of weeks. All I am having is a break between jobs...I have my health, my love, my friendships, my life. I have nothing to complain about and it was a true gift to realize that today.

Sometimes we get so trapped inside our own little world, that it is difficult to put things in perspective.
