The Plate, It Is Full

You know, The Infamous They always says that one should not load too many things on one's plate. We as people can only take on some many stressful activities at once before we start to crack. And I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. Of course, just because I agree with it doesn’t mean that I act on the advice at all!

Right now, I'm working on a job transition (same company, different position… hopefully, but it haven't gone through yet), my fiancĂ© and I are moving in a week, we have our wedding in just two months (of which we still have some planning to do), and we have family visiting in a couple of weeks. None of these activities are often listed in the "fun" category of life activities. Actually, most are listed in the "pull your hair out" category.

Because of this, we've both been on edge lately, but I'm hoping for a change of pace very soon. Next week we'll be moved in to our new place and will hopefully have things sorted out with the job around that time as well. The trip from the family will be fun, but we still need to make some plans for the weekend. But the wedding… well, that's going to be stressful until after that weekend is over.

It's funny to me that no matter how modest we originally planned our wedding to be, it seems to grow and grow to something bigger than we planned for. Of course, other interesting problems have present themselves with regard to the wedding that make planning "interesting," but more than anything it's just hilarious to look back at what our original plans were and what we've devised for ourselves now.

In any case, the stress will be over soon and summer will be in full swing, which means tons of street fairs, beach time, and outdoor socializing.
