T called me this morning from the Vegas strip, literally. Someone came up and asked her for a cigarette while we were talking, lol!. It was good to talk to her, even just for 5 minutes. She said to keep breathing. To just do one thing at a time. To not get overwhelmed thinking about all the things I have going on, but to be mindful in those moments and bring myself back to just the next step.
We also talked briefly about what accommodations I should seek from the disability services office at my school, relating to my anxiety disorder and PTSD. I'm going to meet the guy who coordinates that stuff today.
At the end, T said again to keep breathing, and do one thing at a time. Then she said "call me if you need to......or want to!"

I laughed, and thanked her for adding that last part. It was a really, really good quick connection with T. Hopefully that will get me through the day ahead.
I see T on Monday, so it's less than a week now. I'm telling myself it will go by fast, because I have so much going on.
