Today was good.  I knew that if I didn't work out of my funk yesterday that I would struggle today, so glad I did.  I went to church and stayed for the cookout.  Afterward, my friend D with whom I'd tagged along a bit said "you did it!"  That made me smile.

Talked with H a bit, and we didn't make any concrete plans yet (supposed to get together this/next week), she did lay down a few boundaries.  We're going to get together every week or so for a little check-in/accountability.  She doesn't want to only talk about that, though-- fine with me-- and wants to keep our relationship going.  She also said she doesn't want to talk about accountability at other times... my check-in will be the only time so I don't become dependent on her.  Okay, I understand that, even if I don't necessarily "like" it and it scares me a bit to not have someone to text and be like "hey, I'm having a hard time..." instead, I have to suck it up and get on with it myself.  I think I'd rather be dependent on someone else.  ;) 

Hiked in the rain this afternoon.  The woods are so pretty in the rain.  I also got stung/bit by something, and it's still bugging me two hours later... like chills every once in a while, and it aches.

I think I'm doing pretty well and am happy with myself.  Considering I have a huge transition coming up, I haven't panicked, haven't given up, am still breathing and hiking and eating.

  1. The limit-setting sounds like a good idea. It will allow H to be supportive of you without that aspect taking over your entire relationship. Good luck!

    1. Thanks. :) H is pretty smart and obviously knows what she's doing. I can tell she's thought about it a lot already. I just hope it helps!
