Avoiding imunological disaster

So, my family is still sick. Pretty much all of them. And for the last two and a half weeks, I've been desperately trying to avoid coming down with whatever the hell they've all got.

My money situation for a short time was looking up, and now I think it's starting to collapse again. I'm starting to realize that in less than six months, I have to pay for all of my insurances (car, health, dental) and that no matter how hard I work, I won't be able to pay for all of it.

Suffice it to say, between worrying about money and the stresses going on in the three labs I'm working in, my body is taking hits. My heart has not been doing well again (with the arrhythmias, chest discomfort, and such), and I'm going to switch to my new medical provider tomorrow

My glasses have been contributing to my stress by continually popping screws and lenses out. If I had any vision at all besides the glasses, I owuld be ok with this, but since I am totally blind and rely on my glasses for basic vision, losing lenses and screws really doesn't help my situation.

So I've been considering adding another class, despite my horrid money situation. Of course, these decisions will be made in the last week before school starts, because without money, I have no opportunity to take anything.

All in all, right now I am TREMENDOUSLY stressed and could really use a vacation. Of course, gas prices are so high (and hotels too..I checked, even for Colorado) that I can't afford a vacation. In basic terms, I'm finally succeeding at my lifelong goal of killing myself through stress. Loverly.
