So, last night was decent as far as sleep goes.<\/p>\n

But the night before was really bad. And when I have a bad day, tunnel vision is a real problem. Whatever is happening right then feels like it’s going to be the way it will be forever. I know it’s not true, but it feels very very true.<\/p>\n

Chris was kind, and we went on a walk together. He held the dog’s leash and I pushed the stroller almost like it was a walker. Veronica slept.<\/p>\n

“Things will work out. Remember, you are only a quarter of the way through the time between when she was born to when you go back to work. It will be okay.”<\/p>\n

Still March April and May to get ready to do what needs to be done. I can have faith that by that<\/em> time, things will be ready. That -I- will be ready.<\/p>\n
