Stressed OUT!?!

This time of year is the craziest for me at work...I have to start taking better care of myself.

I miss my massages. I used to get them regularly in Toronto (once every two weeks) for nearly 3 years. I was also lucky in that my insurance covered about 50% of all my yearly massages so that helped a lot. I may take some time, on in L.A., to find a decent but trans friendly massage therapy to help me relieve some neck and back soreness (where all my stress goes).

Thankfully, I took care of a fair amount of stress by paying down nearly 70% of all my debt. I now have to take care to not let it increase again (I'm seriously contemplating canceling one or both of my remaining cards that I still owe on).

Right now, my main way of dealing with stress is to find quietness. I've found that living in NY my stress has increased, a lot (IMO) due to noise pollution.
