I've been useless at posting here lately, eh? There's just tons going on. Enough that I'm debating NOT going to Ohio next weekend =/ (I'm not so thrilled about that part.) I've got a designation exam coming up early next month, and I've gone through A CHAPTER so far. I need to get moving on that. Plus, my parents are coming out in two weeks, ( Read more... )

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! you have to come to ohio!

...but ok, not if you're feeling stressed out about it

i find sometimes when there's too much going on, if i just take a few minutes, five or ten, to relax - no computer, no tv, no music, turn the lights off and just sort of meditate - then i have the energy to get up and do what needs doing

I know :( It's just so FAR and I have so much complicated insurance to study. TBH, it's going to depend on how this week goes. I'm not making a decision on it quite yet. I'd like to come...just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

Hey sweetie, you know that if you need anything I'm here. You helped me so much when I needed to vent.

Thanks :)

It's not like there's been a huge bunch of bad stuff going on or anything, it's just that it's been busy. Mostly good busy-ness, but this is very atypical for me. I'm enjoying it, but it's an adjustment at the same time.

Oh Hello :)

Hi!

So bring some of your study stuff with you? There's nothing saying you can't work in a little study time in between TW Wallowing. No one would be offended. And then you could still be silly the rest of the time!

better_late24 August 24 2009, 23:22:17 UTC

Yeah, I have to figure it out.

Well, it's good that you have proper priorities, unlike the rest of us :)

But, seriously, it's totally OK if you want to bring some study stuff with you. The weather has gotten nice again. The breezeway is clean, as is the patio, and the wireless even reaches to both. You could go out to either, sit in the sun, fresh air and quiet while we make noise and act stupid. Plus, since you're a beta person on the VS, you could be doing that while we write or something. Dunno about you, but it might be good to have something non TW to focus on for a bit. It could actually get old :)

Still, it's your call.

What helps me with stuff like this is setting up a schedule. Both for the studying and the cleaning. I try to stay on top of the house, but when my in-laws come? OMG, my mother in law is the cleanest person ever, so, yeah, it's like Spring Cleaning no matter what season she visits. So I plan that shit way ahead of time and just promise myself to do a bit of it every night instead of killing myself worrying and stressing.

Funny you mention scheduling, as that's actually what I did. I scheduled it out, and I've got to do 4 chapters of dense insurance material this weekend. When you knock out 11 hours spent driving in total, it means I have to spent the majority of what's left studying. Which is a problem =/

Ugh, I may change my mind at the last minute, but as of right now, I'm leaning about 90% towards not going. My employer is paying $300 for me to take this test and I'm already taking it the latest possible day in the testing period.

DON'T HATE ME :( I feel really bad now.
