Keep Cool, Fool!

Lately I have been stressin’ to the max.  I never notice it until it all catches up and I feel like shit but I can't figure out why exactly.  After a really good talk with my mom last night I think I have my head on a little straighter.  I need to focus on one thing at a time, the next step, and stop freaking out about the big picture.  It’s funny because I gave a friend this advice about two hours before my mom gave it to me.  But I needed to hear it and I needed to say out loud all the things that I am worried about.  Being stressed out means feeling out of control and I am so out of control of so many things right now.  The hard part is that I can’t do a whole lot about it at the moment.  All I can do is relax and wait and keep living day by day. So I need some stress relief and I need to refocus my mind, find my balance again.  Rum and Diet hasn’t been working so I will move on to trying my favorite stress relief activities. 

Forgetful Francine

I forgot my shirt today.  I drive to work in my undershirt tank top then went to reach for my work shirt and it wasn’t there.  I looked around my truck and it took me all of five seconds to realize it was not there.  So I walked in to work in my undershirt feeling naked and slutty, but I did get the elevator door held open for me.  Luckily my work is a hospital so I have access to scrubs.  They are insanely wrinkled and the pants are pretty ill-fitting but they are so comfortable.  Plus, I kind of think they make me look smarter.  Except that everyone who knows I normally don’t wear scrubs thinks that I had some sort of accident on my other clothes.

Camping Adventure

This weekend I went camping by Bear Canyon Lake on the Mogollon Rim.  There were 6 of us, although Eric slept so much I was pretty convinced there were only 5 of us.  I think he made it home but it’s possible he is still passed out by the campfire. 

We had so much fun and it left all of us wondering why it doesn’t happen more often.  We left early Saturday and came home Sunday afternoon so it was a quick trip, but perfect nonetheless.  Sometimes that is all it takes to feel like you got away. 

Jason and I drove up together in my truck and I made a quick stop when we crossed the Salt River and saw wild horses.  There is a herd of about 100 mustangs in the Tonto National Forest (about the size of Connecticut) and they are hydrated by the Lower Salt and Lower Verde rivers.  This is only the second time I have seen the wild horses on the river.  It was a great way to start the adventure.
