~ putin.

~ the ukraine.

~ the coming nutella shortage (we have an 8 kilo stockpile).

~ the middle east (i probably should be worried about this).

~ running out of gin (we were just in germany and i stocked up).

~ aging gracefully.

~ bills.

things which worry me a little bit:

~ finding the right shampoo.

~ what if i never find the right shampoo?

~ that my daughter's camera is way better than mine.

~ pixel-wise, mine still has that thing where i choose where it focuses.

~ the size of the new iPhone.

~ what if i never get to cape town again?

things which i worry about a lot:

~ stepping on kittens (i have an entirely too vivid picture in my head of the result of this).

~ cats getting run over.

~ there whereabouts of the feral hen.

~ how behind my child is in math and german thanks to the school she used to attend.

~ how can you know as a parent how bad a school really is?

~ will karma bite that dominatrix principal in the ass? (i know it will, but i'd honestly like to know when.)

~ with the amount of tax we pay, why couldn't our local school get its act together?
