Stress

(Day Nineteen)

Daily writing for today is over on the O&C blog. I feel 90% better today that I did two days ago, so things are looking up. The snot is almost gone.

I probably just jinxed it.

We had a stress management workshop today during lunch. It was your standard "learn to relax" and "prioritize" spiel, with a financial sponsorship twist. There were Forum Credit Union pens, a pamphlet about opening a savings account, and a giant, somewhat stressful chart about how your stress levels would decrease as you aged IF you managed to pay off your debts and save for retirement. Thanks, Forum.

I did learn two interesting things:
  • a person can handle three big stressors at once 
  • chewing gum helps relieve stress 

You're welcome.
