Imaginary vs real issues

As I mentioned in the last post, I've been having some anxiety lately. That anxiety has led me to massive amounts of googling, which has happily averted a real problem: two of my favorite busking cities, Bologna and Padua, have enacted newly strict street performing laws in the past few months. I had intended to spend a weeklong Italian holiday in Bologna, traditionally my best busking week, with Padua as my back up. Now I'm rebooking and making other changes as I research the remainder of my schedule.

Happily, my anxiety about potential problems is a lot lower now that I have real ones to deal with. I can only hope that the original panic-inducing issue stays dormant, but I have no control over it either way.

Hence the anxiety.
