Freaking out just a wee bit

So, I finally got around to taking my laptop in to get fixed. I thought, okay, a couple of days, maybe a week and it’ll be back in my control-freak, separation anxiety, holy crap, I just gave away my life hands.

Turns out? It’s going to be at least three to four weeks before they’ll be able to get it back to me. Three to four weeks. I’m going insane.  Yes, I’ve backed everything up on it… in three separate places…just in case I get the refurbished replacement (it’s hardware issues, not software issues), but still… it’s familiar, it’s organized the way I want it, it’s easy access to emails.

Fortunately, my subs folder is still accessible through our webmail server, so I won’t get too behind on that kinda thing, and I have a work laptop as backup for laptop use (possibly two, if I do something that I haven’t decided is a good idea tomorrow…), and I’ll be able to get rid of much of the extra crap I had downloaded and stored on that poor little thing.

But still… I miss my laptop.

And, as if that isn’t enough anxiety, my alter ego is waiting on some news… from a couple of sources…my work life is in a little bit of uncertainty and I have a smidge of insomnia, which tends to take hold when I’m stressed. So I’m a little on edge. *grin*

So, let me ask you… what do you do to relax? I’ve tried Yoga Nidra, which actually makes me more awake when I’m done, and reruns of Beverly Hills 90210, and neither are getting me in the zen state I’m craving… any suggestions?
