Of stress, E3 and dresses.

So as I am writing this I'm not in the best of moods. For the past 3 weeks or so I've been back at work on reduced hours, it is not making me the happiest of bunnies. Some of the people that I work with are wonderful and they get on with their job, some do not. These people have the habit of annoying me and making my work days more stressful and stress and my mood do not go hand in hand.

After being off work for 4 months there had been a fairly long period of time since a day had been so hard that I had started crying out of nowhere. Last Sunday my streak had come to an end. It did not feel good. Since that day I almost feel as if I have been relapsing back to when I was off ill, spending all day in bed when I have been off work has happened a couple of times this week, today included. I don't want to go back to that again, for anyone who hasn't had the experience, it's not as wonderful as it seems.

This has had the effect of exacerbating my boyfriend as he is having to work really hard at the moment to make up for the loss of our income since I am working part time. It's kind of one of those situations where you understand the other persons point of view but at the same time it annoys the shit out of you. Suffice to say it has been a slightly stressful week for our relationship.

Wait, didn't I say that this blog wasn't all going to be a downer.

In other news the live blog of E3 really got to me. I thought that the games coming out for existing franchises looked fantastic, especially Tomb Raider and Splinter Cell. The trailer for Halo 4 had me screaming incoherently about shield worlds (which confused the hell out of my boyfriend as he hasn't read the Halo novels where much of the universe backstory is set out) and marvelling at the challenge these new enemies should bring. All in all the improvements to the Xbox look nice but there was a severe lack of proper information about Gears of War: Judgement which I didn't appreciate. Hopefully there will be more news at PAX.


Last but by no means least there is the final stretch of my little sisters prom dress to be working on this week, hopefully it will be ready for when she comes down for the final fitting next weekend. Though I am waiting on a delivery of satin to finish it, there shouldn't be too many problems for its completion (knock on wood and all that jazz) which should mean that final adjustments shouldn't take too long when she gets here. All I can say is thank god for dress mannequins.
