I generally keep the controversial thoughts to myself because confrontation is not something that anxious humans look for. Having said that, Holy Anxious Batman! The world seems to be returning to a full on “Covid’s Over” attitude and I’m a little confused. I haven’t checked today but last I did, we were still seeing numbers climbing at alarming rates in Ontario.<\/span><\/p>\n

It won’t surprise you to know my anxiety levels and sleepless nights are increasing. I’m the weirdo who still wears a mask in stores and in places where people are gathering and who tries to maintain some form of social distancing and no, I really don’t want to shake hands, as much as I appreciate the gesture.
\nOr … maybe I just have that brain that when everything is fine, looks for something to be anxious about?<\/p>\n

It’s been a crazy week so I’m already digging into the archives for a couple of pics but here are a couple of favourites that help take my mind off the things I can’t do anything about anyway. (Insert eye roll here).<\/p>\n

I was talking to our engineer here at the station this week and admiring, out loud, how chill he seems to be … all. the. time! I don’t think I’ve ever heard Rob raise his voice or get overly animated about anything. I’ve seen him roll his eyes a few times but he always appears calm and matter-of-fact. When something’s not working quite right with our radio gear or tech, I immediately fly into “OMG The WORLD IS ENDING” mode … while Rob is always, “Okay…lets have a look here.” I appreciate him and envy that gift he has.<\/p>\n

I have two remote broadcasts to do this week … the first in a few years now and I’ll be using a new system and some newer cutting edge tech. I’ve been sweating about it for about three weeks now. Wish me luck … lol<\/p>\n

You’d think after all these years I might have learned that things always have a way of working out … that, it’s not the end of the world if they don’t … that “I’ve got this” … but my brain would much rather torture me about it all.<\/p>\n

So, what am I doing about it? Just my best. Taking some deep breaths and trying to make sure I’m as prepped as I can be. I’m also trying to take in whatever beauty I can find to increase some endorphin levels, hanging with my person and trying to focus on anything I can that’s positive.<\/p>\n

Comfort Food! It’s one of my go-tos when anxiety peaks. We made some Irish Stew w Garlic Buns when the stormy weather hit early in the week.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ll sign off this week with another iPhone capture from the road side, coming home from our Trivia Night at Cowbell Brewing last evening. I love the clouds and the sun reflecting off the pines.<\/p>\n
