Day 960: Aware That I’m Stressed

Which is all I can I muster this National Stress Awareness Month.  (H/T, Liprap)

Stress Awareness Month is a national, cooperative effort to inform people about the dangers of stress, successful coping strategies, and harmful misconceptions about stress that are prevalent in our society.

Is it a coincidence that Tax Day falls right in the middle of said month?  Another coincidence that the entire month falls right in the middle of miserable allergy=insomnia season?  And yet another that it’s Bar Exam result time for many new lawyers yearning to breathe free?

Silver linings: Taxes were done a whole two weeks ahead of time.  A CPA can handle them next year.  Maisnon now swears by acupuncture and the neti pot as allergy cures.  I don’t see how being stuck by needles and drowning yourself qualifies as healing, but, hey, it’s got to be better than constantly itchy eyes, almost incessant sneezing and steroid-induced puffiness.  Additionally, congratulations to Mac and Amanda, who passed their Louisiana bars on their first and subsequent tries, respectively.

    I don’t know if I’d call the neti pot “healing,” but it does seem to do a good job of flushing allergens and pathogens from the sinuses. It’s definitely made a difference for me as allergies go and I’m pretty sure I’ve thwarted more than one sinus infection because of it.

    It’s much less stressful letting someone else do your taxes. Our accountant even comes to us to pick up and drop off stuff.
