Too much at once...

I think everyone needs a place to express themselves. Vent. Scream at "Fate" or what have you.  The last few months have been pushing me to my edge. Problems keep cropping up, I just can't seem to keep up with each new issue or mini-crisis between the major life changes of the last few months:

New job with vague/far reaching responsibilities (my fingers put in so many pies, I'm going to be diabetic), moving to a new house, wedding planning, and ongoing family medical worries, when will it stop...

Just when I think I have come to the edge of the field of landmines, I find that the war outpaced me and I have a whole new set to worry about.  I saw the old Tron movie a few months ago, and I must say I feel a bit like I'm in a light cycle match, constantly having to change my focus, jerking back and forth between the multitude of work projects that I have been inserted into, in addition to my personal life concerns.

My fiance and I both need to improve our diets.  We eat out frequently and when we do eat at home we often pick high fat, high preservatives, highly processed items, usually out of "convenience."  Our bodies show the consequences.  While he seems to have plenty of energy to get tasks done, I am unable to find either the mental or physical energy to accomplish much.

I guess all I can do is keep myself sane and try to find comfort in some simple pleasures. I'm going to work on making myself more healthy through experimentation with meal planning, self-sufficiency, sustainability, and time-tested knowledge that you can rely on. Some sewing, a little organic gardening eventually. Finding ways to save money etc.

This should be interesting...
