I'm having anxiety.

I'm having anxiety.

My online class started.  I'm still nervous about it.  It's moving really fast; we already have a quiz set for Thursday.  Yay for short summer semesters.  😕

I'm also having feelings about the pandemic.  Yeah, I'm a little stir crazy.  A bit worried about the future.  I keep looking at the online map that I've linked below.  Alabama is getting darker and darker, and the COVID case numbers are rising closer and closer to where me and my family live.  It's only a matter of time before it's REALLY bad here and I don't know what to do with that information.  Or with myself.  Keep staying in, I guess?

I'm just scared.  I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak, since mid-March.  We learned it was coming and it's been bad for a lot of people, but here it hasn't been terrible that I know of - maybe because it's a smaller place?  I don't know.  But I feel like our calm before the storm is about to end.  Partially because of Memorial Day, partially because of NASCAR, but completely and 100% because people won't stay home.  In any case I'm worried, and that is such an unproductive emotion.  😕

I really hope you all are doing well and doing the best you can to not get / spread the virus.  We definitely are.  I guess I'm going to try to focus on school for the next few weeks and keep my mind busy.  I don't know what else to do.
