Maybe an extra Paxil today?

For the past few days I've had that old anxious feeling again. It doesn't happen very often anymore, for which I am eternally grateful. But every once in a great while I have that old, nasty anxiety plague me again. The best way I can describe it is this: You have a part in a big play and you're standing backstage, two minutes away from your stage time. Or you're in a choir and it's almost time for your solo. Ugh.
It's terribly annoying when I feel this way and I can't put my finger on WHY. I'm not about to go onstage. I'm not about to sing a solo in front of a couple hundred people. THEN I could understand it. But why now?
My doctor once told me that your body reacts to excitement the same way it reacts to nervousness. I fully believe that. I am a very exciteable chick - ya know, it doesn't take much. Anyone who knows me well, knows that! And there are some things I am really excited about right now. Little things. Things you'll roll your eyes at if you're reading this.
*Sigh* Okay, here goes:

• - Mom and Steph and Kenzie and Marilyn (family friend) are coming up here on Saturday and we're going to the Lake County Cat Show. Then we're gonna snag Scotty and all go out for dinner. And I'm gonna teach Steph and Mom how to crochet granny squares and the "Kittens in a Row" pattern. WAY too fun!
• - Okay, I LOVE pet sitting. It has its down sides, like any job does. But in my book, they are very few. I stinking LOVE what I do. I visited little baby Brisco twice today (cuz puppies have small bladders, don'tcha know), and OH what fun! I played with him outside in the wonderful spring sunshine.....And that's just one example. I just love each and every animal I have taken care of so far. Sweet JJ, the kitty - oh my gosh. She won't even EAT unless I'm there sitting right next to her food dish....LOL! So yeah, my job is another thing I am just really excited about.
• My hobbies. Crocheting and knitting and making cards and reading and watching movies and TV with my dear hubby. I spend a lot of time doing all these things and they all make me SO happy. They fulfill me. And they excite me.
• The new friends I'm making in our new area. The ladies from the Monday night Bible study are so dear, and hostessing the study is such a pleasure. And Sherri and Therese, my two fellow pet sitting friends. They are a HOOT! I feel like I've known both of them all my life. I think we might go see "Beauty Shop" (the Queen Latifah movie) shortly after it comes out.

I could just go and on. I guess when there are so many things that I'm excited about all at once, I start feeling funky physically. So stupid. But it's how I'm wired. Always has been.
