Staying sane as the day approaches
As I write this, I also have one hand filling out my DJ question form, writing emails to confirm upcoming appointments with the decorator, limo driver and photographer and deciding what to wear to my first ever in life bridal shower! Not only am I doing bridal duties, but I am also planning a stagette for my friend’s wedding. Yes the one coming up in less than two weeks. My speech still needs to be tweaked and my bridesmaid dress ended up costing me an extra $100 in tailoring!
Yes I am a very busy person as of late. Not to mention I’ve also started a new job…and don’t get me started on that one. Let’s just say “There was no warning!!!”. But I’m sure I’ll get into that one at a later date.
Presently, I’m doing my best to keep my sanity and to be honest, as well as human, keeping my sanity has been a difficult feat. OK so I’ve dipped into the ativan my doctor had prescribed as a back up only for the wedding day and honeymoon flight. It was either that or yet another bottle of wine on a Wednesday night. No no you won’t be seeing me on intervention anytime soon (I hope). I’m doing my best not to find myself on Bridezilla!
Keeping my sanity may feel impossible sometimes but what I’m finding is the support of my fiance has been helping a lot. When I feel down, he’s there to rub my back. He’s been helping me through all of these strange stressful emotions. I have also been allowing ‘me’ time into my life. Yes I have a list as long as the Nile river and my new job is threatening to overstep my personal life, however I’m keeping focused on the fact that balance is important. And balance is how I’m going to stay out of the local mental instituition.
Either way hopefully this will all end soon because I and my fiance need my old life back.
