Anxiety is the time between the "now" and the "then"

Three days. Three long, anxious days of waiting. I feel the tension in my back, in my jaw and in my neck. I feel like my shoulders are above my head and nothing sounds good to eat. Time seems to be standing still and everything little thing is annoying ...ah, the days leading up to The Marathon.
I've been here before and know what to expect, but that doesn't make the anxiety any less. My mind is going 100 mph, knee bouncing and focus becoming a challenge. Three days. So much to do between "now" and "then". So many decisions to be made. Got the menu knocked out today. Check....so much yet to do, so much yet to decide...ah, the days leading up to The Marathon.

I thought it might be easier this time around. After all, I've been here before and know what to expect....

It's going to be a long couple of days. Thank you in advance to putting up with me. I appreciate your patience.
