Anxiety
A morning last week found me in the doctor's office for a yearly check-up. My appointment was at 9:00 am, and at 10:00, they called me back, where I sat naked in the ripped open muumuu and the paper towel to cover myself. It had been twenty minutes and my anxiety was growing by the minute.
Of course, there is the general anxiety one may feel just from visiting the doctor. Then the anxiety of having to wait. Add to that the nagging questions that your brain uses to occupy its time.
Do I have this muumuu on correctly? Do I put the opening in the front or back? If the fire alarm goes off, do I have time to get dressed? What if they have forgotten I'm In here? What if they have forgotten I'm in here and being someone else in? How long will it be because I need to use the restroom? Is this paper under my butt really sanitizing me from the last person's butt that was here?
After all that, they wonder why my blood pressure is higher than normal.
Hopefully, your anxieties are not getting the most of you today. Maybe your biggest worry is that you don't have enough zucchini recipes to use all that zucchini from your garden. If that is the case, I highly suggest you try this lovely bread recipe. It is one of my new favorites.
