Anxiety

I am not REALLY sure why, but I awoke feeling extremely anxious this morning, and I cannot seem to shake it.  I also went against my own personal edict and last night, I DID NOT set my second alarm (which I have to get up out of bed and walk across the room to turn off).  I relied on my phone alarm.  It was far too easy to hit the "snooze" button and avoid the feelings of anxiety.... and so I ended up getting up too late to run.  The second alarm situation was not what CAUSED my anxiety.  But, unfortunately, it allowed me to more easily avoid getting up and that unfortunately impacted the running I should have done.

So, now I need to try to figure out how to make up those miles.  Perhaps late in the day today, or perhaps I will do extra tomorrow or Saturday.  I am not sure.

But, I feel anxious as hell, and this does not bode well for a pleasant day.  I had/have plans to go to the Retiree's Cigar Group, but I am not sure if going in this anxious state would be fruitful.  One the one hand, perhaps going would help me TO relax (that would be the hope).  But, with how I am feeling at the moment, I am not sure if that would be the case..... and it could simply be a "nothing" experience if I cannot shake these anxious feelings.
