Horoscopes

annundrielI'm not that into horoscopes, but when I got home from the library I ended up on my Yahoo account and today's caught my eye.
It seemed semi-appropriate. Especially because lately I've been thinking about something a teacher of mine told senior year of high school when I had a break-down in front of her regarding my senior project. She was very understanding - and I think a lot of students would have been surprised by this - and asked me to really try to explain what was wrong. And then she told me to stop trying to do everything myself. "If you need help, ask for it."
It's not really that I don't ask for help, I just...don't always. I don't like to be a burden or disappoint people, and that leads me to sometimes biting off more than I can chew. But when I pull through in the end anyway, it looks like everything was fine. Which is why, I guess, professors never seemed to think I was nervous giving presentations. The woman who does my contact prescriptions told me last time when I told her about the newspaper writing that I project calm. Heh. Right.
Anyhoo. I am settling into things. This week has just been weird since I've been covering the library and covering meetings, though I didn't have to go to the fire district tonight. Yesterday got to me a little because I opened down in Mattawa and the librarian was supposed to be back by one so I could get to the Port meeting in Royal at four. But, because of prescription orders, she didn't get back until three. Which was fine, since I got into town with enough time to catch a bite of food with Mom before the meeting. I just spent some time freaking out about it and dealing with no phone reception and trying to set up interviews in Othello.
It was a little hectic. But over now! Yea! And tomorrow I don't have to go anywhere, I just have to write.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed lately, it's probably because you are pushing yourself way too hard! Reset your agenda today, and make sure you are not spreading yourself too thin. If you're tired, take a nap. If you're sick of dealing with whiners, get some quiet alone time. Listen to your body and follow your mood, whatever hits you, whenever it hits you, today. Not every day has to be full of activities and accomplishments. It's a day you should spend focusing on your own needs.
