it's an interesting life
Jul. 2nd, 2007 08:58 amToday I noticed my first white hair. Just kind of poking through the others. I (I believe understandably) freaked out. ...of course, I also have a hypochondriac for a father plus a tendency to over-react that's all me, so. The scene in my head could best be described as "ohgod I'm going to die an early death from stress or malnutrition or maybe it's the severe lack of sleep lately but any possible cause only leads to my dying"
x.x I'm rather glad I was at work, because the desire not to humiliate myself forced me to get a grip? I'm still a bit worried, but most likely it's just stress - things have been extra-shitty at work, lately. And they're talking about cutting our hours when they start changing our schedules into the randomized crap the day shift has to deal with. Starting the 14th. The first week of this nonsense is up already, and my days off will be Sunday and then Tuesday. %$#@
So, added to pushing myself step by step towards college, yeah. I can see stress. Not that this stops me freaking out completely, just... reduces it to yet another worry. Like my teeth. Which I really should be looking into a dentist for, see above stupidity and apply to teeth.
So, as I got through the night reminding myself: I will be enjoying this weekend. I've got a cheap disposable camera and plan to go back downtown just to try and take pictures of the library there. I will probably be going to this library for the foreseeable future. So pretty and comfortable and guarded by the giant owl statue. ;p
Meanwhile I made sure today was productive, as the electricity is paid and my old badge dropped off (they're insisting we wear them now, and with the bit that connects it to a hook broken for ages now... ) so that a new shiny one will be waiting for me when I get in. I've got a cute frog-decorated lanyard to wear it around my neck with, too.
And my college assessment test is scheduled for July 11th at 9:00 am. The telephone hoops jumped through to arrange this included mention of a couple of links to help me prepare, which I will be looking up later. But right now, I need sleep.
