I Can Only Take So Much Stress
Gah... I've been struggling with my stress lately.
I work six days a week, but I've got to practice for a duet with my brother that happens on the 20th, but I'm a little behind in learning my part. We don't have much time. Meanwhile, I haven't found someone to even cover my shift at work on that day, and I've missed way too much work already because I had the flu in a seriously bad way. My boss wants to have a chat with me sometime this week about it too, which is stressing me out on top of already being behind in learning the duet. I want to take some days off in early September to visit my girlfriend but my boss isn't happy about that either. I've been sorta playing tug-o-war in my mind about whether my girlfriend is even worth visiting, which doesn't help either.
All of these things are little, but they're all creeping under my skin and I think I'm starting to loose it a little. My dad says I can keep doing this, and that I can power through but I'm not sure I can. I know he'll be pissed if I can't learn the duet in time, or have to work on the day of the duet because my shift didn't get covered. My brother will be disappointed as well... To tell the truth, my dad's encouragement just makes me scared.
