illness and stress seem to go hand in hand...

stress:
today i worked 10am to 2pm and then babysat from around 6pm til 9:20pm. tomorrow i have to start taking care of the dogs and i have an eye doctor's appointment and church. then thursday i work 10am to 2pm and then i'll be heading to the fireworks tent. i also might have to pick up dad from the airport thursday evening. then friday i'll be at the fireworks tent all day. and saturday i work 10am to 2pm and then i'll head to the fireworks tent and be there til well after 12am and then have to be back up to teach sunday school. it will be a long week. amazingly enough, its not the busy week that has me stressed. i chose to help with the fireworks tent and i enjoy helping. most of my stress is coming from this deployment. last week jesse and i argued and then didn't really talk til last night. we still haven't resolved the issue we argued about, we've simply put it off to the side and will revisit it later. but it was wonderful to talk to him (even if it was just IM). i really need to hear his voice again. hopefully he'll get a chance to go to the phones soon.
and now for the illness...
my tummy has been mad at me lately, despite the fact i've been nicer to it. i've had the same headache since sunday afternoon (which i am hoping new glasses will fix). i am constantly tired...and i don't mean just a little tired. i mean could fall over and sleep at any moment tired. plus the past couple of days i have had the dizzy spells ever so often. i don't like it at all. i am so tired of being sick. i know i know...i need to eat vegetables. but in all fairness i have taken my vitamins every day for over a month now and i have really cut down on the caffeine. i'm really trying to get myself to exercise regularly but i hate doing stuff like that alone so we will see how that goes.

all in all, i'm obviously having a series of "bad" days when it comes to this whole deployment but i know i am in god's hands and he will carry me through. i am very excited about getting new glasses tomorrow though...
