The pessimistic view: Work deadlines (very behind), lawyer stuff, divorce stress-related doctor's appointments (not to mention the f*ing STD test). Oh, and I need to keep looking for an apartment.
Now let me turn that around.
Work deadlines: I am a highly intelligent and competent person. I got this. But also, I am going through one of the worst things anyone can experience. So, I can be gentle on myself, too. Just get them done, no need to put undue pressure on myself.
Lawyer stuff: I am taking my power back.
Doctor's appointments: I am taking care of myself.
Apartment: I will find a new home and really make it mine. I am going to host the best dinner parties.
It will all work out.

Lots of GALing planned: book club, various fitness activities, movies, concerts, dinners. My friends keep telling how much they look forward to having me back. I'm a popular girl. People like me. I have really solid friendships. I am proud of my ability to connect with people. I am fabulous.
