Thirteen things that stress me out.
I get stressed out a lot, I cry a lot, it’s a part of who I am. Some people think I’m easy going. I like to think I’m easy going. I’m actually wound tighter than your granny’s bun!

1. A huge pile of dirty dishes by the sink.

2. Leaving home late in the morning and having to “power walk” to the station. Not that I can power walk with my short chubby legs (the rest of me is short and chubby, don’t worry, I’m in proportion!).

3. Not understanding a part of the bible that someone else is so sure on.

4. Disagreeing with someone on a part of the bible that we are both sure of.

5. Too much uni work to do.

6. Too much work work to do.

7. When doctors won’t back-date medical certificates and I think that people won’t believe that I was sick if I don’t have a medical certificate covering those days. I was in hospital – I was sick okay?!

8. When I think I’ve done everything right and I’ve done completely the worng thing. Like in French the other day when I thought I was completely prepared and it turned out I’d done the wrong grammar exercise. No wonder I didn’t understand it! I actually shed a tear because I was so annoyed at myself for being so daft.

9. When my bank account runs dangerously low.

10. When I tell people I’ll do stuff for them and then forget or get sick or can’t find the time to do it.

11. When people are so caught up in this life that they don’t bother to consider the next. There is a heaven! If you trust in Jesus you can be assured that you will go there!

12. When people are harsh. Some people are naturally that way and they mean something to be funny but I’m such a gentle sensitive person, I can’t take their faux mean humour.

13. When I haven’t been to karate training because I’ve been sick. I always feel so lost the first time I go back after sickness. I’m usually still a bit sick and then I have to concentrate and I should take it easy but I don’t know how because I’m a chronic over-achiever.

    I seem to be pretty good at getting stressed out. Now if only I could figure out a way to DEstress. Then I’d have it made.:)

    You know – I don’t argue any more about Bible interpretation – because the only One who really knows is God…Sure I have my study Bible, but sometimes I read over a Bible passage a gazillion times and I get the meaning the gazillion-1 time :razz:.
    I’ll add your link to my post. I missed yours this morning, because you don’t show up on the blogroll – I don’t think.

    What a good list. I think that most of these things stress us all out.

    Thanks for visiting my TT. Happy Thursday!

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
