Had Dr's appt, was prescribed ADs. Have a couple more follow-up appointments for various reasons. This is a 180 for me, actually following through on medical stuff. This unwelcome experience is REALLY teaching me the importance of taking care of my health. I did exercise and eat well before but found going to the doctor such a hassle.
H followed up on my "carrot." At first he was gung-ho about moving forward, then I explained I don't want to move forward until I get through some work stuff (it's an especially busy time of the year) and FIND A PLACE TO LIVE and he backed off and apologized, told me to take my time. I said it might take a couple months, he said it's ok. He heard about the extreme weather in Big City, asked if it affected me. He was a little chatty so I followed his lead a bit. He's traveling (I noted that he was online at an unusual hour), I said I hope he's having a good trip, but didn't ask any questions. He said he's doing some things for work. Privately I wondered if he's traveling with OW, a gross and unhelpful thought, and pushed it away. I turned the chit chat back to business, asked for the info for his lawyer. I made a joke about the website; H followed up with another one. I talked about figuring out the additional step my L brought up that his had overlooked, he said it was a good idea. Then I said I had to go.
It felt good to be the one to end the conversation first. Last time I wasn't.
