good morning!
good morning, Gav! Did you sleep well last night?
I slept like a baby. I fell asleep right away last night, didn't wake up once, and didn't have nay nightmares!
that's great news! You look much more relaxed than you did yesterday.
I feel much better, but I'm still worried about something.
what's that?
well, I have to drive to school for a meeting this morning, and I'm going to end up getting stuck in rush-hour traffic.
that's annoying, but nothing to worry about.
for me, traffic jams are quite stressful, because I'm pretty impatient. How can I prevent myself from getting stressed if I get stuck in a traffic jam?
just breathe deeply when you feel yourself getting upset.
Ok, I'll try that.
is there anything else bothering you?
just one more thing. A school called me this morning to see if I could teach a few classes this weekend and I don't know what to do.
do you have any other plans this weekend?
I'm supposed to work on a paper that'd due on Monday.
try not to take on more than you can handle.
