The Side Effects of Endorphins

I’m going to give you an imperfect answer. But it is a very good question. I’m a pretty laid back person, but there are certain things that do make me nervous.

Control

When I look at it in retrospect, it is basically things I have little control over. We just had our home inspection yesterday and found out we have a giant bill for a new sewer line. This is a point in the process where I get really nervous.

Make Him Go Away

I have had an underlying unrest of the soul ever since the Trump regime entered the world. The regime is bad enough, but the people who follow him I walk the streets with. That makes me nervous.

People

I do worry about the nature of people, how we treat animals and the long-term viability of the planet that we live on.
