an anecdote about anxiety and dealing with the world.

yesterday i had a contractor coming over to give us a consultation/estimate. as typical in this situation, i am completely on edge.

the person was nice, the news was as expected, it all went pretty well. after they left i found myself utterly unable to concentrate.

i realized - i still had the adrenaline but now i didn’t have the fear. i was just buzzing.

i needed to reset. for me, that was sit on the couch with the dogs for a while.
