Too much and not enough

I currently have too many things that stress me out, and not enough things that are helping me balance out the stress. One part of me wants to do even more and better things, but another part wants to quit everything and run away to Alaska. Pretty much a sure sign that I'm off-balance. ;p

The S.O. can sometimes be really oblivious and/or insensitive about such things, too, so that means I get to flail around trying to make myself feel better, rather than having any real help with smashing the stress. Not so great when you're the type of person who needs the occasional kindly reminder that it's okay to slow down for a minute. Yay.

On the plus side, I do feel rather good about how my training is going. I'm not seeing major improvements yet, but I'm starting to notice subtle ones, every once in a while. And, more importantly, I'm sticking to it, so I might actually be able to keep this up over the long term.

Now, if I can just scale back the stress levels, I think all of the training stuff will go tons better. Sadly, I don't think that's going to happen until at least July 4th (Uberproject launch date) or possibly not even until the end of summer. The most obvious choice would be to take a break from photoshoots, butbutbut... I have ideas that need to be released! Wah.

I also finally got off my butt (figuratively) and uploaded a couple of photos to iStock yesterday. I love the shots I submitted, so I hope they get approved soon so I can start raking in the buck$. (hur hur hur) The iStock process does remind me of how annoying keywording is, though. It's pretty vital to getting downloads, but I'm not exactly clued in yet about how to keyword my photos well.

Sorry I'm boring lately, but my craptastic mood doesn't lend itself well to fun and exciting postings. ;p
