personal: Heavy sigh

Well. Here I am.

Paperwork's all done for my master's degree, so all I can do there is wait. I don't know what's happening to sweeten my job, so all I can do is wait. I have a few Christmas presents to buy, but mostly I'm done and just waiting for the holiday. They announced the new Harry Potter book yesterday and I preordered it from Canada, but all I can do is wait. I'm getting a big paycheck next week, with tuition reimbursement and my first overtime pay since starting school in August, but for now I'm broke so all I can do is wait. I have various other little things to take care of, but no one's really around during the holidays, so all I can do with them is wait.

So why do I still feel constantly stressed out?

Stuff never stops. I've been busy every day and night since school ended, what with parties, rehearsals, photo sessions, shopping, etc., etc., etc., and I'd really like to be able to stop and take a breath.

But tomorrow begins a four-day weekend for me, with only Christmas-related family stuff on Friday evening and Saturday and demo recording sessions for the band on Monday planned. So maybe I'll finally get a few moments of relaxation in. I've been extraordinarily testy this week, so I really hope I do.

All I can do is wait.
