Beach Prep
June 18, 2001 9:31 a.m.

I'm going to the beach today! I am very excited about this! Very anxious though. I am a very high strung person by nature. When I am anticipating anything, I become very very anxious. I simply cannot relax. Eventually, the anxiousness becomes almost like nervousness and I can't sleep, and I feel like I'm gonna vom. That's what dragged me out of bed this morning. I'm not nervous to go to the beach with my best friends...certainly not! I just thought about it too much, got anxious, felt nervousness. I don't understand it.

But anyway, it's a BEAUTIFUL day! The only problem is, I just realized that I left my sun glasses in the car. Unfortunately, the car is at the bank where my mother works. Maybe I can get Jen to stop by there before we hit the road. That would be great. I have a spare, but I definitely play favorites in this case. ooh! And that reminds me, I must bring chapstick! (I am dependent on chapstick) ooh! and tissues. (I am constantly needing to blow my nose)

Ah, now I should be all set. Unfortunately, I really should have gotten up later, then I wouldn't have to wait. But on the other hand, I should have gotten up earlier, so that I had time to run to the bank and get my sunglasses, and some money. I plan to buy some food, since we never seem to have any in the house.

Okay, well...um...I guess I'm out.
