1 – Extra Mile Day: When was the last time you went the extra mile for someone, or someone went the extra mile for you? Tell us about it.
That's one of those questions that's hard to answer because it's just part of normal life. I stayed late at work to help somebody out? I do as much stuff as I can for the Old Man? People will go out of their way to help me if I'm stuck on something. That's just normal life, isn't it?
2 – Stress Awareness Day: How stressful is your everyday life? How well do you deal with stress? Do you have any tried-and-true strategies for handling stress?
HAHAHAHA O my fucking God.
I CAN TELL YOU that right now I am drinking too much and sleeping too little. I'm still working out every day, and that keeps me mostly sane, but also that's... really not keeping up right now.
Money has become A Fucking Problem. I just need to keep it together for another six months. Tomorrow before I go for my weekly Old Man visit I have to swing by the bank FOR THE THIRD FUCKING TIME and ask them AGAIN for the cheques on the credit line that opened THREE FUCKING MONTHS AGO and have not been able to use because I don't have any way to get the money out. And then maybe Monday I'll try to get the phones sorted out so we're being billed separately.
Yeah. So. sTreSS. I am aware of it. Thanks.
I had an interesting conversation with my girlfriend this week about how I appear much more stressed in my DW entries than I do when she talks to me in person. That seems really weird to me, because I have been venting about this non-stop for months. Like really I'm not sure why she hasn't told me to shut up yet.
And it's been sticking in my mind because that appears to be a life-long thing for me, and I have no idea why. I tell people something Is A Problem and Holy Shit Does This Need To Be Fixed and Here It Comes: The Consequences and I use my words and explain what I mean in as much detail as I can and I ask them if they understand and they say yes. And then when the dust settles they say, "Oh I didn't know you meant it."
And I'm kinda like... Why not? What is it about my body language or my words that makes me sound like I don't mean it? I genuinely have no idea.
