Hormones, Holidays and Stress, OH MY!

A period. There are so many blog posts and descriptions of what one is that you'd think enough would be said about the topic. However, since there are a million songs about love, why not a million angry blog posts about periods?

Indeed.

Mine's creeping up on me as I type and I have to say, it does feel rather...

Yeah, that sounds about right.

So right now my hormones are raging and I see every action (or lack thereof) as an INSULT to me and my pride! Do you know how crazy I am? Do you know what insulting my pride does? ESPECIALLY when I'm PMSing?

And then death....

On the plus side, when I'm in my generally happy mood it's more like...

This time there's a choice!

So then on top of that, tomorrow night is Christmas Eve. Have I got everybody's gift yet? No! AM I worried? NO! I don't care! Because I already have most of the gifts, I just need to get cash for my dad. 

And then there's work. I'm a team lead, and geez, it's hard. If you're a lead you have so much responsibility for the work, for your clients, for your team. You love them and you hate them simultaneously because you want to lift them up but as you do you feel like they're weighing you down. 

All of this rolled up into a time span of 2 months.  Two wonderful, headache inducing, stomach churning, knee knocking months. YAY! On the plus side, I get a few extra days of time off and get gifts.

Love Key & Peele!

It's actually been a great time these past few months, but more on why that is later. In the meantime, recently I've taken to needing a thinking beard. I imagine it would look like this...

Well, right now when I'm pissy

It's been a tough few months, but like I said earlier, great too. Lots of new and exciting things have been happening and I'm happy about it all.  It's been weird growing up and the more it happens the more I realized I didn't want it, didn't plan for it and certainly didn't ask for it. I still feel like a kid inside and have to hide that kid on occasion or else my friends will call me a dork. 

I love this movie!

However, there are benefits. Lots of benefits and quite frankly, I'm happy with all of them.  Yes, there's more stress and heart ache, but life is stress and heart ache but also joy and happiness and excitement and thrills and adventure.  There's enough goodness to outweigh the bad. And on the occasion when I let the bad outweigh the good, then at least common sense will smack me back in reality. Common Sense in this case going by Amanda, Ethni, Serina or Cyndi. YAY, Friends!

On that positive note, I want to say, hasta luego!
