LLT: Gravvy, OMG. How are you handling the transition? It's sounds rather rough, IMO. I hope you are doing OK

Not gonna lie, LLT, it's tough. But what in life isn't tough? I'm in a depressed mode right now so painting and remodeling the new house essentially by myself along with unpacking seems comepletely overwhelming most of the time. Basically it's one foot in front of the other right now. If I try to look at the "big picture" and see everything I have to do it's paralyzing and I can't even start anything. If I look at one thing, however, it seems more manageable and I can get things done. That would be my advice to you... focus on one little task then move on to the next. The other thing I found helpful was to set a timer for 10 minutes and just do something for 10 minutes, whether it's packing or cleaning or painting or whatever. I have found when I focus on working for 10 minutes, by the time the buzzer goes off at the end of the time, I'm well into whatever I'm doing and can continue for an hour or two.

It's really annoying to move. SO much work. New jobs, new people to get to know. It's scary at times. But it sounds like for you it's definitely an upward move in your life and so I admire you for taking the leap and making the move!!!! I hope everything goes well for you!
