Stress...
Mood:
 hug me
Now Playing: Late Show w/ David Letterman
What an insane couple of weeks this has been:
1) I've been training 7 new undergrads in my lab PLUS I've been having to find time to implant 20 rats.
2) Millie was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure & doesn't seem to be getting much better.
3) I've been having to deal w/ TJ's jealousy whenever I'm doing stuff w/ Millie (though I'm finding ways around that...)
4) My stats class is horribly painful -- the prof is really nice, but I just can't follow him & it's incredibly frustrating.
5) Other random crap as it arises...
As a result of all this, I haven't been sleeping well, so I haven't been able to completely fight off my sinus & allergy headaches/pain/pressure & congestion. I just need a break from it all. And I thought that this past weekend would provide that by visiting Eric. Unfortunately, it wasn't such a great weekend (though it did have some nice moments). The roads were horrible once I got to Michigan, so I was stressed out f/ driving when I got to Ann Arbor on Saturday night. Dinner w/ Eric & a couple of his friends was nice, but I always feel like an outsider with his friends in the L.A. program (but I'm sure he feels that way when we're with my psych friends, so I shouldn't complain). I kinda had a breakdown when we got back to his apartment. I hadn't seen him since Millie was diagnosed & all the crap in my lab started, so I just needed a hug & then I started crying, so I ended up being a big girly mess. I think it kinda freaked Eric out a little, but he was supportive & let me get it out of my system. Sunday was a little weird... Eric had a project to finish up for Monday, so we kinda spent time together, but really didn't. And then I was just in a bad mood or something Sunday night, which ran into Monday when I came back to Kent & the stress of everything else in my life resumed...
Thank god for my friends I have here, though. If it wasn't for Melanie, I think I'd lose it. She's just so easy to talk to, really fun to hang out with, & is just a genuine person. She's helping me out a lot with the whole Millie situation, too. It just helps to have someone to talk to.
That's all I have the energy to write for now... I'll update when I find more time...
