I've considered it... my mom lives about 30 minutes away and I could certainly crash there for a week or so without question. I don't really have friends that I would feel comfortable asking to move in without causing disruption.

In a couple weeks I have a week-long work trip to DC. That break will be nice I think.

But really I just have to man up I think and deal with the reality. Yes it's hard but it is what it is. Once we're apart things won't be all that dramatically different. We have a five year old son together, therefore he lacks independence. Since I plan to have 50/50 time and see him as much as humanly possible, I'm going to be interacting with W frequently.

Yesterday I spoke with the guest pastor who did the sermon on time. We talked at length about meditation and centering. This is something I am going to start doing a lot more of. I tried it several times yesterday and really did make a huge difference. It helped me get control of myself and my thoughts before I got all spun up and into the anxiety of the future.
