And I'm not alone. Even Sesame Street put out a meme on social media today saying it's okay to be anxious. Maybe so, Grover but it sure feels like hell. It's the 'there's nothing I can do' part of it that I can't get past. I'm sure that's true of a lot of Americans going into tomorrow.

Still don't have a car rental. My aunt and uncle came and were here...for hours and hours. That doesn't mean I did nothing. While talking to them I made up a page of addresses for everything I want to see. It's 2 pages long but I'm ready for the gps ( Read more... )

I'm like 75% sure Rocket has broken his leg. I feel horrible. Here's the thing I'm leaving for a week in a few days. Also he's still just an outdoor stray that i'm taking care of. Am I ready for spending $$$$ on an FIV+ stray who won't stay inside or use the litter box? I don't even know how I'm getting him to the vet. This is rough ( Read more... )

I really do think I might need to start talking to someone about my mental health. I am being plagued by two anxiety issues. One about traveling. I know when it started (2005) but not why. Even going up to the hotel on Sunday was BIG DEAL. I have no clue why. I love traveling but I'm getting tied up into knots preparing for it ( Read more... )

As always thanks to all the Veteran's out there ( Read more... )
