Spoke my mind against my will; now quaking in terror and suspense awaiting the result. Vulnerability doesn't agree with me. I know, welcome to the human race. I know it was the right thing to do, and the potential upside is great in both quality & quantity, and yet the potential ensuing WW-III and, worse, terrible hurt feelings scare living crap out of me. Making note of my present state as a marker against which to measure the ultimate outcome, which I have decided to hope turns out to be a wonderful positive lesson-to-self, maybe even sooner than later instead of the "went through hell but it ended up being all for good" kind.

It's very interesting to me how well one of my present travelmates & I travel together, as we are VERY alike and that usually spells disaster.
