Since my partner in crime has left for his 9 week stint at "camp," I have had some really amazing people lend me a hand in support. Friends have been checking up on me and calling/texting me constantly, coworkers offer their support and allow me to keep my countdown on our office wall (see photo), and my family has been kind and patient. At one point today I asked one of my friends, "Am I not enough of a mess yet?" to which she basically said, "Give it time." And she is right. This is just the start and the challenge will be to keep the positive energy going. Wish me luck on this.
Regarding my battle against my anxiety, that too is going really well. Today, I went for a long drive to relax, I got sweaty running up and down stairs and a few stretches to get my body going, and I blogged! Ha! Three things and all it took was remembering to do it... not even a ton of time or effort. Highly recommend the battle against anxiety and highly recommend the long drive with the windows down... I do not, however, recommend the boyfriend going to boot camp so... skip that part.
