Keyword: Apprehensive

Pizza
Author's Picture

I made pizza for dinner. This time, by request, it had jalapeƱos on it. Everyone liked it.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, "apprehensive" means "viewing the future with anxiety or alarm: feeling or showing fear or apprehension about the future." "Apprehensive" has been my keyword for the past day or so. I'm uneasy about my wife's health and mine also. I have a Thursday appointment with my doctor to see what happened with the MRI I had last Friday.

Yesterday our long drought ended with near continuous rain. Unfortunately, we were also under a tornado warning. It was nerve-wracking. I haven't heard whether anyone I know was affected by the storms. Today our county "burn ban" was lifted.

Tonight, I find myself apprehensive again. It's election night. No matter who wins, I worry about the country and the economy. I hope there is no violence.

Yesterday I recharged my Kindle and began reading The Widowsfield Trilogy (314) again. I thought that reading would help me nod off at bedtime. I just happened to pick a series that has the opposite effect. I read 25% of the book before I made myself quit. I've mentioned the trilogy on this blog a few times. I'll find some review sites and post links to the books at a later date.
