I HAVE ISSUES...MANY MANY ISSUES

Rough times ahead. Beaner will have to face many phobias over the next 3 weeks.

1. Germophobia. I will have to be around more people in one week than I am normally around in a year. I will have to use public restrooms. I will survive. Right? Right?

2. Fear of flying. I know flying is pretty safe. I know I'll be o.k. I think. Probably I'll be o.k. Somebody please tell me I will be o.k.

3. Social anxiety disorder. Pretty sure I've got it. Pretty sure I'll make a complete ass of myself at the convention. Or look like an ass. Yeah, I'll make a complete ass of myself. It's what I do.

4. Is there a phobia word for fear of leaving your children for a week? They will be in the best of hands, but still, who will hug me goodbye in the morning? Who will kiss me hello when they get home, who will look at me and think "mom needs a hug" and give me the bestest hugs in the world? WHO?! Seriously having severe anxiety issues about this one.

5. A monumental birthday. All I can add to this one is "CRAP!" and "CRAPITY CRAP CRAP CRAP!"

:::sigh::: I need a hug.

It's a big birthday, for sure. I just had one myself last year. No big deal. You've been there before.

As for social anxiety disorder. talk to Stacy. She's got that one, too.
