I am VERY stressed out. Let's see what is on my plate...

*My sister Jo died a year and a few months ago. I had to help her die from skin cancer.

*My Godfather died less than a year ago from brain cancer.

*I may have cancer - I am still waiting for the report to come back in.

*My bio-parents moved in with their favorite daughter, my sister. They have financially wrote out all of their other children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren from their Will. My one sister will inherit everything, and has no intention of being fair with any of her siblings.

*As I am aging I am finding out who are my true friends are.

*As I am aging I am finding out who my true family is.

*My car is ready to die. It is 11 yo, but has 200+K miles on it, and needs all kind of work.

*I have to keep my home up (staining shutters, deck, etc.).

*I am constantly worried about how I am going to pay for my healthcare bills, and pharmacy bills (and even more so if I do have cancer).

*Internet rumors. I am frustrated that they still come up. What is even more frustrating is that people actually believe them. Sheesh.

I'm stressed out about a talk I will be giving in front of my department on Saturday. It's kind of meant to be a hazing, I think, for first-year grad students, and the professors are known to ask lots of really tough questions. And I'm very nervous about public speaking even in the best case scenario.

That said, I have resolved to give the presentation with confidence, if I can. If it's panned, that's okay -people have far, far more important things to worry about than this, I understand- but I don't want to be shaky, uncertain, to come off like I'm terrified, even if I am. Fuck it. That's what I say, fuck it. No more being petrified of stupid things. Life really is too short.

Phew, thanks for listening

Just had to get that off my chest.
