I am a stressed bear

It has not been the most fun couple of weeks lately. It feels like every stress possible is coming out of the woodwork of my life right now. I know that's not actually the case, but that's how it feels. Everything from my imploding family life, to stressful university assignments, to money troubles, to appearance woes and to a busy reading schedule - I'm feeling overwhelmed.

It is times like this I wish I could pause everything and just scamper off to somewhere lovely for a week to relax. But of course, I wouldn't be able to relax knowing that I would be coming back to a heavy brain overload, but it's the idea that counts.

Also, I have all of my Christmas shopping yet to do. Damn.

However, I'm going to try and see the positives (something I don't do often enough in my life):

• Work is going really well I think. I'm still making silly mistakes but I've gotten a lot of it down quickly I think and everyone has been very nice. Who knew pulling pints could be therapeutic?
• I just spelt therapeutic correctly the first time - yes!
• I have bought myself an advent calender, therefore I am ready for Christmas in some small way.
• I'm still discovering music I love - always a bonus in my life.
• I have very lovely friends here.
• Being single has never been such a blessing - I could not deal with freaking out over a guy on top of all this stuff as well.

Love always kittens,
