Stress and Spiders

As moving day approaches, I am starting to feel stressed out. This feeling is new to me. I can't sleep, I don't want to eat (that's truly a new feeling). I'm cranky and short with everyone around me. I think for the first time in my life I may have high blood pressure. I am so tired, and I am doing everything I can to avoid packing any more boxes.

So now I wonder, do others live like this all the time? I don't normally experience anxiety. It's bizarre. This move has taken so much out of me. The new place is almost ready and the carpets are being cleaned this afternoon (for the second time). Our current landlord it being rather difficult, and it's becoming uncomfortable to be here.

The other day, as I was leaving for work I saw the landlord pull up in his car. I did not want to talk with him. But he'd already seen me so I couldn't retreat downstairs. God in his infinite wisdom, saved me from the dreaded encounter. I walked directly into a spiders web. Full face on! The spider still in the web!!! Ahhhh. Holding back the desire to vomit, my heart racing so loud in my ears, I promptly began the "kill the spider dead" dance. There was web in my eye, and all in my hair. I feel sick just remembering it. Anyway once I managed to compose myself I noticed that the landlord had gone into the house. Uncomfortable moment averted...I think.
