Is there anyone else stressed out this weekend?

Is life getting anyone down this time of yr? NOT trying to whine......Theres something about the cold weather that makes me realize how my life is lacking. Too much time to dwell on junk.

How does everyone else zap stress this season?

If only I wasn't out of town tonight...

I am not in the cold (OOT)... I am in a Provider Less place, there is ONLY Tequila, I am pissed (the British/English way), and horny as hell.
I am beyond stressed out, BUT I am having FUN nevertheless, suggest you do the same.

Yea, I've been getting a little worried and stressed out.

Junior's been hiding and hasn't surfaced since morning.....

I'm afraid I'll lose it for good if nothing is done.......

Help?

Turn on the fireplace and have a sleep over with some of your girlfriends.

Great question! The idea of staying cooped up inside is pretty depressing and going out in the cold doesn't get my pulse racing - So, to occupy my time and stay busy...

I spent last night curled up with some very hot porn which is kind of a rare treat for me...*blush* It was very hot and w/ someone I love - ha!
Tonight - I felt very 'domestic' - not domesticated (been there/done that) and made crockpot veggie soup and from scratch apple pie (and oh my does my house smell gooooood, right now!!)
Tomorrow, I am braving the cold and going to a mini-film festival and entertaining a friend or two for dinner...
Sunday, a Christmas Cantata - which means braving the cold again and venturing to SA.

Hmmm...I think sometimes the best way to get perspective is to return to the simple things (does that include porn, Aphrodite??) and find gratitude in the simplicity...

Soups on!!

As long as you're feeling miserable, get up and do something you've been putting off for a while. Keeps you busy, and feels good when you finish.

Just the word "Holiday" can be stressful! I know I am stressed; I have been waking up with clenched teeth & sore muscles.

I know a lot of people don't get enough seratonin in the winter time. Maybe try to spend some time outside in the sun when the day is the warmest. Work out buddy helps! Exercise & spending time with POSITIVE friends is the best medicine, I think.

Or go get yourself a massage, if you can. When I start to complain(not saying you are) my dad mentions something about war and I stfu real fast!

I try to think of everything I am thankful for and imagine how petty my problems are compared to other's. But, suffering is still suffering.

And yes, do something you don't want to do. Like go outside or conquer a small task that has been bugging you. "Opposite Action" is a great coping tool, imo.




Sshhht work out partner....I know I fell of the wagon. I feel better now, so time to get back to it.

Not me! I'm HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!

Also, just think about how rough this weather is on the folks to the north: Ice, Snow and Chill Factors well below Zero; and the winter is just getting started from them. Down in South/Central Texas, we will see nice weather soon.

Buck up Buttercup, it could be a lot worse.

P.S. Ladies, please don't hesitate to ask me in person why I always have the the little surfer dude on my signature?

I can't hit the roads on my bike (the type that you have to pedal) which stresses me out. Spin class inside this morning at the gym. Then FOOTBALL!!! OSU-OU, Baylor-Texas, Ohio State-Michigan State. FSU-Duke. Even Rice-Marshall. I'll get through today with a happy face but not sure about the next 5-6 days until a little warmth returns to our lives.

I'll get unstressed when this two-day conference (big yawn) ends and I can get on the road back to Austin.
