My stress levels

It seems that stress is the real monster lurking under my bed. Some people say that chocolate and sugar contribute to acne. Not so for me! I pop out with extra zits, my scalp becomes itchy, and I gain weight .... give me a moment to just jump for joy ....

About 2 or 3 months ago, all of these annoyances started cropping up with new cleanser, pilates, and T-Gel doing pretty much squat. Why do you ask? Well, because I was planning for a wedding, frantically searching for a decent job, interviewing for said jobs, and finishing a 35 page Masters Degree Research Paper. Now if that doesn't raise someone's blood pressure, I don't know what does. It's also complicated because teachers don't get paid till the end of sept. so I knew that I had to save in order to survive for 1.5 months without pay, especially if my fiance didn't get a job.

But, thankfully, my blood pressure seems to be under better control now. I'm still planning a wedding, but I finished my research and presented it last Thursday. And, I found a job, albeit part-time. I'm surprisingly much more in balance now. It seems that I am not one of those nervous, stressed brides. I had more important things to be nervous about. But, after the wedding I'll be trying to prepare my classroom and move within 2 weeks, so I'm sure my symptoms will come back to haunt me. Woe is me. I think I'd better go do some more pilates just to keep my mind off of it . . . .
