I used to say I was “waiting for the other shoe to drop” at work, when it got eerily quiet. I always so busy with my job that while it felt comforting to not be stressed for a few days, I knew what was going to be on the other end. Probably shouldn’t have worried so much, but I did.
I keep waiting for my worry to drop!

I am a “waiting for the other shoe to drop” person. I add that to “seeing the light at the end of the tunnel…only to find out that it’s a train coming at me.” LOL! I’m cheery, aren’t I? I guess as fearful as it sounds, I feel like an abundance of caution keeps me from being blindsided.
