I'm feeling so much better than yesterday. Thanks to all for your hugs and comforts and whatnot.
I may need lots more of that stuff as I enter the upcoming unknown territory of *parenthood*. Ack. Scary. I'm going to totally responsible for a helpless being, and have to make sure she's happy and well cared for and all that. Yes, I think I'm capable of achieving that, or I never would have started this process - but I'm still a little intimidated by the idea as a whole.
Anyway - today was a day I was dreading very very much, and it went off mostly without a hitch. Our office is moving, and there were movers today, so I mostly sat around until I heard one of them say "where is That Lady?" (apparently my official name for the day) - and I'd go see what they needed (generally the question was "Does this go?" for the first part of the day - moving out - and then "Where do you want this?" for the second part - moving in to the new space). I had measured and remeasured everything about 50 million times, so everything mostly worked, with two small exceptions - one of which they figured out, and for the other I quickly came up with an alternate solution. Phew. What an enormous huge relief.
Then I got to take some teens I work with down to a local TV station where they were interviewed for their teen perspective on sex among teens and stuff. They were fucking brilliant and *so* articulate and well-spoken and I love them all to pieces and bits. I wanted to jump up and down several times with glee - but figured I should keep it check in front of the reporter and cameraman. Okay, yeah, this is the part of my job that I really really dig. (And I just have 8 work days left until my leave starts..... Wow.)
I'm feeling better physically too - just a few moments of random crampiness. I'm definitely taking it easy tonight - and every night from now on, really - I was thinking about making some cookies, and watching TV and crocheting my blanket and reading. I think I can handle all that.
