You know you're a little too stressed when, even after venting it to five co-workers, taking a half-hour lavendar de-stress bubbble bath... you still feel your shoulders shaking, your back being tight, and no mental relief whatsoever.
I need Thanksgiving/Winter Break.
I need a little sanity.
I need a break, period.
I need a massage. Wanna donate?
I need a little home.
It's just hit me recently that both my sister and I aren't going to be home for Thanksgiving. That's the first time ever. How weird that will be for my parents! I'm sad I'm not going home. But I do have plans here, so it's kind of okay, it will just be strange.
I'm stressed. Did I mention that?
Megan's recent life:
- hired a new RA! So I had a full staff for the first time all semester.
- missing student
- student's stuff messed with by ex-roommate
- drug bust from two weeks ago
- finally got druggie to move
- fired one of my staff members. No more full staff.
That's that, in a nutshell.

Awww i think this title is quite appropriate. You are doing a great job :). Just remember, there are only so many things that you have control over, and at the end of the day, it's ok to let the others go....I know, that's crazy sounding coming from me and all that I complain about and my control issues, but it's a new perspective I'm taking (a) I'm realizing that it's ok to let things go....It's impossible for me to fix or control everything, and stressing is just going to give me wrinkles, (b) I'm realizing that it's ok to be wrong and make mistakes (this is the one I really struggle with...I have age issues in my job and dont want to feel incompetent), and (c) when I'm frustrated with others, I'm going to take a breath and a second of time to try to see the situation from their perspective.....these are the things I thought about during my journal time in the bathtub :), and I realize that they might not all be applicable to all of us, but I just wanted to let you know what helped me destress.....You're a fabulous person and you're doing a fabulous job...so keep it up :) Love ya
