Mental Health Day

I had to take a mental health day today. And I do mean *had* to. I've just been so crazy busy since school started and it had really been getting to me over the last week or so. Like, badly. I was having a breakdown almost every day, and I was just too tired and I wasn't in a good mental state.

So last night, I got drunk. Like, three margaritas drunk. I felt great, but according to Kenny, I was crying and having a complete breakdown all night. So early this morning, like 5 am when I was up feeling hungover as fuuuuuuuck, I decided that there was no way in hell that I was dragging my sorry ass to campus today. So I didn't. I stayed home and sat on the couch watching Netflix all day while Kenny took care of me. I felt nauseous most of the day, and he just helped make sure I was okay.

It was amazing getting to just sit around for a day, and I really really think it helped me. But I'm just really glad I have Kenny. He's been amazing all day; cooking dinner, doing anything I need, making sure I actually feel good enough mentally to go to school. I'm really really lucky that I have someone like him in my life.

Routines

So, two weeks into school and I think I can safely say that I'm settling into my routine nicely. It's times like this when I realize, moreso than normal, how lucky I am to have Kenny in my life. Since school's started he's been helping out with cleaning and laundry even more than he already was. I just really appreciate knowing that I can lean on him when I need help. At the moment, he's actually switching over laundry while I take a break from homework to write this.

School's been crazy already. I'm tutoring 16 hours a week, but so far I really like all my students. For the most part, they don't seem like total idiots, which automatically makes them different from most other students I've had to tutor. And my classes are all really interesting, but there's so much work. I had to give a presentation on my second week of classes, which fucked me up mentally. But I survived, so it's all good. It is a lot of work, and between that and tutoring and my job, I'm crazy busy. It can get really stressful, but Kenny's got my back, and that makes things a little easier to handle.
