Yes, I am prone to worrying but this Russian situation has me feeling even more anxious and on edge

I worry about Putin going even further 'off the rails' and doing something catastrophic.

That and the fact my house will be beneath the flight paths of numerous kinds of planes and military jets performing at today's air show will make this an uneasy day.

To be prepared I've taken both of my 'as needed' anxiety medications. Also have some Kitty Calm for the kidcats, should they need it.

(Insert heavy sigh, here)

Vent about it here. Sometimes saying it out loud makes in more manageable.

I worry all the time. My husband helps, if I vocalize it. Unfortunately, I passed the worry gene along to my oldest daughter.

I sing. They judge. They are very good at judging. Sometimes I sing a duet with Gryff or Arthur.

So far they haven't sent me to Hollywood. But then, who'd feed them!?

I suspect I've been tricked.
