Frustrations

I've been very frustrated these last few days and I thought maybe if I got them out of my system it would help me feel better. Most of the things I'm frustrated about are things that I can't fix right now, but they'll be over soon enough and I have some ways that will help.

The first one is that my boyfriend is across the country. This isn't something that sends me into a deep depression because I'm a pretty self-sufficient person, but it is hard. But we finally figured out how to use Skype and being able to see him a little is helping a lot. I don't know how far this relationship will go, but it will be nice to see him again.
Another thing is my job. I feel like a put in a lot of effort for pay that's not much above minimum wage. But I am very grateful to have a job at all because it's how I'm paying my way through college. I guess it's just the type of job I have that I shouldn't be expecting much better. And I do get treated pretty well and am able to have this job during school because my boss is very good about working with my schedule. I just have to endure it a little longer and then I can get a job that I actually enjoy doing.
I'm also frustrated with the pain I've been getting in my wrists and hands. It makes life a little harder because I'm not able to do as much as I would like. It's a little harder for me to play my best in symphony because there's more pain than there used to be. Sometimes when I'm trying to sleep, it's harder because the pain or tingling keeps me up. I just don't want to have to give up playing my violing or piano or organ because of it, that's one of my biggest fears. But I ordered these fancy new fingerless gloves that should help a lot. I'm really excited for those to come!
I also really need to get my hair cut, but I'm always busy during the days and can never find the time. Hopefully I'll be able to have a little bit of time this weekend, though. That's not a huge thing.

I think that I need a little vacation or something to help get my mind off these things. And it probably would help if I got more sleep on a consistent basis. I'll just do my best and know that if I can make it through this, I can make it through everything that is easier! I just have to keep telling myself that it isn't going to last forever and that things really aren't as bad as they seem. Maybe I'll start exercising more consistently too. That couldn't hurt! Ok, well maybe it will because I haven't really exercised a whole lot lately.....but you get the point. ;)
