Mish - blush away if you have to....feel the rush of blood again!
And let things with CG just kind of be for a while. Revel in it, and be open to seeing where things go without any expectations. Glow in the warmth of a new friend, for that is who he is today. Let tomorrow come when it will and enjoy the things you can today (especially with the schedule you have, lady!)
I know that you can't take a whole day, but can you break it down into an hour a day for a week? That would give you 7 hours, or a full day at the spa! *Get your hair done *Get a mani/pedi (or do it yourself) *Light a scented candle and read or listen to a book on tape *Take a hot bath *Visit a holiday shop with all of the decorations and scents, then have a cup of coco on the way home *Pick up a trashy magazine of Hollywood messes - with their makeup off and their personal lives in tatters. Puts it all in perspective! *Take Marc to Sears or JCPenny and have a Mom&Me photo taken - look for the free coupons, get the minimum and scan the thing!
Can you get lost in a craft for a while? You can make something very inexpensive / recycle, and the act of doing that kind of work gets you into the "other half" of your brain, away from the sense of time passing, and better yet, NON-VERBAL!! Almost impossible to get to any of the What If thinking...
