Irritable...

I am really irritable right now. Everything and everyone (including K and my well-intentioned friends) are getting on my nerves.

I think work is contributing to it. Things have been super stressful at work for the past couple of months with no relief in sight, and I think that I may have underestimated the toll that it is taking on me. Furthermore, I found out yesterday that I will probably be the lone psychologist here again for a little while at some point in the upcoming months. Then, I got anxious about how that may affect my plan to take 2 weeks off for the wedding/honeymoon in the Fall.

And, then of course there is the wedding stress. Underlying that though is the fundamental difference between me and K in terms of how we make decisions. I've written about this before...I tend to be much more decisive, preferring to make decisions quickly (not necessarily impulsively) so that I can prepare and move on to the next step. In contrast, K likes to mull things over for days and weeks before finally committing to something. Making travel plans tends to be an issue where this difference in style really becomes apparent and leads to conflict. Obviously, I'm also worried about how this will impact all the wedding decisions that are looming ahead.

You can totally tell me to shut up if I am annoying you...I won't be offended, I promise :),

I was ready to make decisions quickly, too. I can totally relate to the not wanting to mull things over (for what seems like forever).
