Waiting for the other shoe

Ever have that feeling?
I’m just waiting for something to pop. I know it’s coming, although I don’t know what it is, or when it’ll happen, but it’s coming.
Raw

I don’t know why, but for the last few days — say, a week or so — i’ve been feeling just… raw. Scraped thin. I don’t think it’s tired, per se, although that’s not helping, but i feel like…
I feel like i always do before things go bad, that’s how i feel. It’s a feeling of impending doom, hanging over my head, and i don’t have anything i can see telling me what’s coming. Life isn’t perfect, but I can’t see any signs that the really important things in it — School, Char, friends — are going anywhere…
Yeah, i know… “precognition”. Feh. Pseudoscientific bullshit psychobabble. Crap. But this is a feeling I’ve learned to heed, because it’s been right more often than it’s been wrong. It’s not deterministic or anything, but it makes me nervous all the same. I only hope i’m wrong and my life — so good until now — isn’t going into a tailspin around me.
Wish me luck
