Stress Eating Brain

I'm getting married in 5 days, and the stress is wearing me down. I can't wait until it's over.



This seems appropriate, and entertains the hell out of me.

Stress Reaction

So this morning I got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and discovered that I was covered in blood.

Before you freak out, don't worry. No one was stabbed, killed, or otherwise hurt, this is just my body's reaction to severe stress: A bloody nose.

I've been expecting one for the past week or so, but it doesn't make it any less scary when it happens: it's my blood, and kind of a lot of it at that. I told Sadimac what was going on, and she was an angel, as usual, making sure I had water, that I was calm, and handling the blood okay.

Between the job hunt (had a great interview yesterday, but I shall divulge no more info lest I jinx it), the current job situation (still lousy), and the added bit of fun of volunteering to be the first laid off earlier this week, it's been very trying. We also didn't play D&D this last weekend, and as it's a big stress release valve for me, that probably didn't help either.

I got the blood stopped in about 10 minutes, although I kept the nostril plugged for about an hour after that. I'm still woozy though, so I'll be taking it easy today. In fact, I should get some more protein in me right about now.
