Stressed

[frualeydis]

I am seriously stressed by being ill and still having a lot of things that have to be done. The deadlines for research funding applications aren't waiting for me to get well again you know. There's one deadline on the 29th of March, one on the 17th of april and one somewhere in between there, that I can't remember the date for. One of these I have to come up with something totally new and find another university or faculty willing to house it. Without me moving from Göteborg, since that isn't practically possible with my family.
And I have 30+ tests to grade before 10.30 on Monday, and I'm leaving from here at 1 pm tomorrow, not to come back until sunday night. I may have to bring the tests.
And, finally I have to start thinking about an english article I need to write.

But I am sick, both with a cold and with a bad flare in my arthritis, and I don't know how to handle this. I notice all the bad old signs: I'm snappy at my family, I forget things and I can't listen to someone and do other things at the same time. And my chest hurts.

I just want to rest and get well.

Sometimes you just have to allow yourself a break, and it sounds like you just might need one. Maybe monday, after you've come home from the event, decide that you are taking the day off and just sleep and relax.

hugs to you
