J...j...j...iiittttterrrryy!

Having more work than I can possibly complete.

Trying to remember everything that needs to be done while pretending I'm not worried something will be left behind or forgotten.

Waiting for an e-mail when your inbox isn't working because it's "too full" (even though you just deleted WAY too many things and know something's gone that you're going to need later).

Worrying about a decision to leave a stable income to pursue another opportunity that you're "pretty sure" will treat you well in the long run.

Craving candy when you've promised yourself you won't go near the most evil of all demons--processed sugar.

In a nutshell...anxiety.

Things that make me want to blog

I blogged for two weeks from Greensburg, Kan., and found it to be quite relaxing.

I've often envied people who journal, but can't quite get the hang of it. My hand always cramps up, and when I go back to read previous entries, they're illegible.

This could prove to be a helpful exercise in personal reflection.

I think I've got a lot to say but fear it's not that interesting to anyone but me. A blog keeps me safe from the face-to-face discomfort of others' boredom.
