Adjusting to being a LBS....

[Subitai]

She wasn't home when I got there, so I texted her I was going to the gym and went. She called and asked if I could stop by the store on the way back to pick up some stuff, which I did. When I got home, she asked what gym I was going to, so I told her it was the one near my work that offers meditation and yoga, and I signed up for it since my work will cover most of the cost.

We chatted a little bit about our days, she thanked me again for all the work I've been doing with the kids and getting the apartment put together. She went to sleep (she's pretty sick, a side effect of all the stress the last few months, I guess) and I went and fetched the kids, got them ready for bed and tucked in.

I went to bed not long after. I've only been to the one meditation class, but I've been using it to try and help me get to sleep at it seems to help a bit there.

Had IC yesterday, too, and my therapist said I need to slow down and focus on my agitation level. There are a lot of big changes going on right now, so I need to refocus on the basics of paying attention to how amped up my nervous system is, and focus on keeping it as calm as possible to make dealing with these new changes possible. He makes a good point.

I may not be posting for the next week or so as we're heading out for the xmas trip and I won't have much privacy. I'll fill everyone in on how it went when I get back. I'm definitely worried about it. I hope my parents behave.
