Just as Blue and Divot have mentioned, don't stress out too much about breaking 90, the more you think about it the more you will be disappointed.
I have been in you position and I can tell you that stressing about it won't help, it is actually a hinderance. First of all, ENJOY your round regardless, it sure beats the hell out of working.
Also play to your strengths not your weaknesses, don't go for the miracle or once in a lifetime shot. If it means chipping out sideways or playing an extra shot then so be it. These are the type of shots that will save you shots around the course. As Blue mentioned turn those +3 and +4's in to +1's or +2's.
Don't let your playing partners make you play shots that you usually don't play, remember play to your strengths not theirs.
That's what I did to break 90, and break it regularly now but I still fall into the trap of thinking I am better than I actually am  but hey that's golf!!!
