One thing at a time
Yesterday, I was nervous about the Maroon tryouts. The second part of that tryout is on Sunday, too far away to get nervous about yet. Today, I'm nervous about playing center on the Big Ice, something I've not done but feel like is the right thing for the team. Tomorrow, I'll be nervous about rehearsing my Big Number in band, then Wednesday after band, I'll start getting nervous about my trip to Ohio. I'm meeting my birthfather, his lovely wife Jane and a sister and brother I've not met, as well as their mother, who is understandably upset that I'm going to be there. But I won't be nervous about that until these other things are behind me.

And yes, they are all things I like (including and especially having a sister, something I'd always longed for, even though it's not the same kind of relationship we would've had if we'd grown up together), but that doesn't preclude them from causing stress.
