Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.

I'd be lying if I said I feel totally fine... but half my family is gone, so it'd probably be weird if I didn't feel a little stress or discomfort about that. That said, I do feel pretty good about the situation.
Did a video call with them yesterday evening and they were both having a good time, so I'm happy for them and glad they were able to take this trip.
