I’m finding that lately life just keeps handing me more stress. First there’s work. My boss talked to me about taking more responsibilities which I agreed to. I will be training to help out in the pharmacy which, though it will be a great new experience, kind of freaks me out a little bit. For one there’s the dealing with customers which I know for a fact is not a fun thing to do sometimes. I live in a neighbour hood that consists mostly of seniors. Most are quite nice, but there is a group that are just nasty people to deal with. Then there’s one of the pharmacists that I’m not overly comfortable around yet for reasons I’m not going to go into here. I do have the advantage that the pharmacy techs are great girls and are excited about working with me.

One thing about work that is bothering me a little bit is that the new responsibility is going to change my days off from Fri-Sat to Sun-Mon. It still gives me a weekend day off with my boyfriend which is good but it takes away the day I was going to try to sell cards at the market next summer. It’s one of those things that wasn’t for sure but I was kind of looking forward to even though it was far away. That and I’ll probably be working fridays until 7 which is when the Salmon King hockey games start, and saturdays I’ll be missing Coach’s Corner every week again. Sadly that bothers me just as much as the market. lol

The next stress is our Europe trip. I haven’t planned anything yet and it’s stressing me out. I’m horrible at saving money. I haven’t had any extra money to save yet and it’s worrying me a little bit. We want to go in mid-September which is a while away yet, but coming up fast. And I’ll have one of my debts paid off next month so that’ll be a little bit more money that I should beable to save. I haven’t even got my passport yet and I don’t know why. For some reason every weekend somehting else gets in the way. I’m making it a point to get my passport pictures done this weekend even if I look like crap. That’ll be one step that will ease my mind a little bit.

A smaller stress is that I’m going to be photographer for my friends wedding in April and I’ve never photographed people really… lol I need more practice with my Rebel XSi in general. I’m hoping that sometime before then I can go hang out for a day with her and her kids and take some pictures. I am excited too though. I’m hoping that I might enjoy it and get over the nervousness of taking pictures of people I don’t know (I’ve never met any of her family).

But it’s not all stress. I got my 2nd row Great Big Sea tickets in the mail yesterday. I’m incredibly excited! I’m getting my new point-and-shoot camera this weekend so I’ll have it for the concert which is on the 26th (yes, spending money, but I need it for my trip too so it’s allowed lol).

…that’s actually the only thing I can think of right now…
