What or who do you wait for, anxiously?

The bathroom, especially when the wife & then my daughter get there ahead of me :¬(

I was waiting anxiously for the painting I bought from Neffie to arrive, and it came today!!!!! I’m so fracking excited!! Now I can’t wait to buy a frame for it and hang it!

Waiting for my kiln to cool off so I can see the firing results of artwork and glaze tests is something I have a hard time waiting for but I don’t suffer too much. ;)

I am anxiously awaiting that happy time with I work because I want to rather than because I need the money.

I anxiously wait to see my grades on tests I think I did bad on. They usually turn out well anyway.

I still wait for my husband anxiously at times. I still have days where I can’t wait to see him, be with him.

I also wait desperately for the show Fringe every week, and Big Bang Theory.

I’m waiting for letters from different elementary schools right now, to see where Alexey will go to kindergarten. It makes me anxious because I am wary of all schools here, period but want him to go to a reasonably good one.

I’m waiting to hear back about a job I interviewed for 2½ weeks ago. The person who interviewed me was on holiday all last week, but asked me if I was still interested and for additional references a day before that, so…

My references all let me know that they gave the interviewer “Two thumbs up!” about me. We’ll see what happens.

::sigh::

I am waiting anxiously for my oldest daughter to be finally adopted, I have had since 3mths old and who will be 3 years old in may. I can’t wait to be off the DCYF emotional rollercoaster ride that I have been on since I got her. I love her so much and want to know finally she will be mine forever!

Announcement of the west coast DMB Caravan.

@creative1, That is such a wonderful thing to be waiting for! I will add the both of you to my prayers. Adoption is a life-changing gift, and opening your life and heart to someone is something to be cherished.

@GracieT Thank you its much appreciate, we are back at court on Wednesday…. seems like a regular thing lately…. hopefully it will be over soon.

I’m anxiously waiting for the premiere of The Game Of Thrones and hoping they don’t murder the story.

Currently I’m waiting to see how these people respond to the attorney who’s contacting them on my behalf. I want my damned money back!!

I seldom anxiously await anything anymore. Possible exceptions: awaiting the results of my latest CT Scan or MRI to see if this damned cancer has settled somewhere again; awaiting my twice yearly trip to see my children and grandchildren; awaiting some of the things I’ve ordered, such as a potable watertank, a concealed carry holster, etc.

@tranquilsea – ME TOO! From what I’ve seen on the HBO site, they should do a pretty good job, I think. It seems that a lot of work went into casting and sets and things like that, so I’m hopeful that the story will stay intact.

fishing and my birthday

@Seelix I have high hopes too. Now Mr. Martin needs to publish the next book.

When I used to brew beer, opening that first bottle of a new batch was anticipation at it’s finest. Now waiting for my laptop to re-boot after running out of battery power to see if my changes to the file are all there is pretty much it!

Waiting for a package to come in the mail (I am so addicted to online shopping). Also, waiting for someone to buy my etsy items!

Santa Claus!

These days, exam results haha.

My life to begin, those memories to fade, to find understanding in another’s eyes. What would my life be, where would my direction be without a mission and an anxious want?

I often wait anxiously on phonecalls that I have been promised. I hate it when someone says “I’ll call you later” because then I sit and wait and if it doesn’t happen, I worry.

@Leanne1986 I recommend you don’t sit and wait, and if they don’t call, just call them back yourself. If they do call, you can still call back later, and tell them you are sorry you missed the call. Many people don’t take seriously the phrase, “I’ll call you later,” as a specific promise to call later that day. You might be taking it too literally.

These days… not so much. When I sit around waiting for someone or something, I feel sorry. I feel sorry I have to go through the anxiety. I feel sorry it pains me in the heart, yet I keep doing it to myself.

I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

.. and yoga was where I realized I had and triceps, body parts, and places I’d never realized existed and had long needed my attention. And where in my life I was oblivious about, I can now give care. Cause you don’t deserve it..

@JLeslie You are right, I really over analyse things people say which causes serious anxiety.

@Leanne1986 I have a few relatives who do the same, and tie themselves in knots. They treat it like a break in a promise. They pressure themselves to keep to those type of promises, and require it of others. But, for most, phone calls are a very casual thing, not seen as a promise, but a social nicety. Much like in the states we say “hi, how are you?” To people we barely know, and don’t expect a long answer of how they are, it is jus a greeting. People from other countries sometimes find it very odd, feel they need to aswer the question with more than, “fine, thank you.”

@JLeslie I’m not bothered so much by a broken promise, I just worry that something bad has happened to prevent them from calling (I’m the worst pessimist I know!)

@Leanne1986 I see. Then just call them and make yourself feel better.
