Feel free to ignore me, just need to vent.

Been in my new position for a week and a half now, still have no idea w-t-effff i'm doing. I'm still a litigator, yes, but i have to learn a completely new, specialized area of law and it's just... not happening. I'm so distracted between wedding stuff and feeling like CRAP physically, it's like nothing is getting accomplished. I can't give 100% to anything right now.

My skin is soooo itchy, my hair is falling out faster than... (insert some analogy here), nails are breaking, i feel so gross bc i have no energy to work out...
our apartment is a mess and it's driving me nuts
and
let's see what else can i complain about ...

OH YEAH, my wisdom tooth that's coming in on a diagonal, outward towards my cheek? It's gone from simply cutting the crap out of the inside of my cheek, to making my entire left jaw hurt... and something tells me it's not a great idea to get it taken out right now....

if you read this, god bless you! LOL

honestly you cant expect yourself to be a pro in your new area in a week! its a transition and im pretty sure its expected that it takes time, i dont think they would have put you there if they didnt think you could handle it

i hope you feel better! you definitely have a lot on your plate right now, try to take everything one thing at a time

I understand the stress that you are under. Can't FH help out? At least with the cleaning? I understand the stress of getting those billable hours in.

I know this might not be the most PC thing to say on this website, but, I'm going to say it anyway.

Your wedding will be fine. It will be a wonderful day no matter what you get done or don't get done, and it is only one day. Your career is something that you need to focus on. You didn't work so hard for all these years not to excel as an attorney. You are trained to multitask, and to take on enormous amount of work at once. Tap into some of those skills you learned as a first year associate. Everything will smooth out once the wedding is over, but you have to keep your eye on the prize which it to be a successful and providing wife and mother.

aw elizabeth..it's friday, which is an amazing thing
and i feel like poo now too about things being messy-i feel like it's an awkward time of year

don't worry though-soon you'll have more time after the wedding, and hopefully things will work themselves out-i feel like they usually do
