Think Zen
So, as I have mentioned, my Biggest Project of the Year starts tomorrow, and runs all week. I'm usually a total stress bunny over this and work myself into a state - and by the end of the week, I'm totally exhausted and worn out and good for nothing but utter collapse. Early this morning, I even had a nightmare about it - just your typical show-up-at-school-naked kind of thing, but it didn't help matters. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
galagan sat me down and said "you know, you can't control everything, and that's okay." And I responded "I know, I know" - but the true import of that is hitting me now, 12 hours later. So I am going to try to be a little more Zen, and a little less of a stress case, this week - take things as they come, deal with stuff as it arises.... My overall attitude at the moment is sort of a fuckit thing anyhow, so if I can let that fuel a greater sense of inner peace, I think it would just be better for everyone. Anyway, that's my resolution for the week. And as soon as the week is over, I'm going to start putting the wheels in motion to hand this off to someone else for next year - let's spread the fun around!!!!
In other news, I'm definitely looking pregnant. :) In case you're all dying to track my pregnancy day by day (and who isn't?), there is now a pregnancy tracker-ticker thingy in my userinfo, thanks torivka and my own hormonal weirdnesses. (I resisted for so long!) I bought some maternity pants for work, and I am hoping that more comfortable waistbands will also contribute to that aforementioned sense of inner peace. I will not go off on another rant here about the gendered baby clothes in the world - but I could.
We have had one trick-or-treater. This comes of being the only house on our side on a short cross street. Why would you go to one little house (two if you cross the street) when you could hit 15 going on the perpendicular street? Alas.
