As you should be, sj.

I'm having some major free floating anxiety today. No clue what has me wound so tight. I even took some Lorazepam at work, which is not something I do lightly and it hasn't touched it. I don't even dare consider even a half more though. I hate this.

Last night was a good night though. I had my Salt Lake PM take the team out for Persian dinner. When we got there, we were the only diners in the place - I had been there before, so I knew the food was good. Everyone was asking me what to order and how I knew so much. The waitress complimented my suggestions and knowledge which was very nice. We ended up ordering a mix of dishes and shared everything. While we were eating and talking about the food and NoRouz, the family of the owners gathered for their meal and at one point the "mama" came to our table and asked how I knew so much. I explained my heritage and showed her pictures from my party. She said I did my family proud. Before we left, she handed me a small take out box of food that she had prepped for her family. It wasn't a dish I was familiar with, but I thanked her and wished her a good new year. I tried it at the hotel and it was quite tasty - now to figure out what it was.

Actually, now that I've written that out, I think at least some of this anxiety is related to me missing my mom and wishing she were still alive. Cause now I'm near to tears at the thought.

Where did you take them? Where's a good Persian place in Salt Lake?

{{SuziQ}} I'm sorry about the anxiety. Nice that the restaurant Mom warmed up to you so much. Holidays are rough. For some reason I made it through Thanksgiving and Christmas pretty well, but was a tearful mess on St. Patrick's Day! It just hurts.

Where's a good Persian place in Salt Lake?

It is actually in Taylorsville (I think). It is called Pars Market and Restaurant. It has never been crowded, but I've been happy with everything I've had there. The family is very nice and I love to see them get more business.

Suzi, I'm sorry that your anxiety ramped up and that you are missing your Mom.
