Though I think maybe my anxiety is ramped up pretty high today, because other people's chores shouldn't freak me out.
Now that healthcare drama is temporarily off the table, I think a lot of us suddenly have a lot of brainpower back that we'd devoted to worrying. My brain is searching around for major projects to tackle.
