Welp, I’m Drowning

Stress and working on the weekend.

I woke up this morning feeling fairly rested and relaxed. That faded pretty quickly, as I knew I needed to — and I cannot emphasize enough how much I hate saying this — do some work this weekend. I also knew that I didn’t have an article set up for today, so there was that.

At any rate, I sat in bed for a while, ate breakfast, had tea with my wife, and finally started to work. It immediately stressed me out. I am shoulders-deep in a project that I have no idea where to go with it. The mere thought of doing any work on that project makes me very, very anxious. Plus, I have several other big projects that I’m working on with overlapping deadlines that are occupying the rest of my time, so the work stress is high this month.

All of that is to say, I am avoiding doing it right now and writing this instead. I need to vent my anxiety a little, and so you all get this nonsense. I figure, if I can’t work on my project without having a panic attack, I can at least make sure that I have a Thing today.

I don’t really know what else to say. I am on the verge of tearing my hair out over this, and it’s not how I wanted to spend my Sunday. I hate everything about this.

Anyway, please enjoy my pain and suffering. I am going to go disassociate into Animal Crossing now so I can try to save some of my sanity.

Thanks for reading.
