Thank you so much for your words, everyone!!! It means so much to have all your support (I'm finding a lot of the opposite from people these days). In fact, because of said lack of support, I've told almost no one about this trip. I've found sometimes "spilling the beans" about a goal or what have you tends to backfire anyway, at least for me. If I don't speak of it until the day before, or after it's happened, there's a lot less pressure.

Having said all of that, I fully intend to have a good time. Yesterday my gramma was sweet enough to take me shopping for a new top, ("You have to be prettied up for the concert," she said.), and I got some sweet earrings to match. As I've mentioned in other posts, I've gained a tremendous amount of weight, and yet this blouse is very flattering, so yay on that.

I just want it to be next week already! We will be leaving my house Tuesday for Atlanta, stay two nights, then Thursday we head to my family's house. I'm so hoping it's one of those, "I do NOT want this to end" vacations---much of the time in the past I've been ready to go home from the 2nd day,

I've been scanning my various lists, and I've got bought most everything I need, so that's a weight off my shoulders.

As far as Panic Attacks; while in the midst of them I generally ride them out, I often have some that literally come out of nowhere, no buildup/trigger/etc. Those still tend to scare me; the first thought/sensation is, "Uh oh, what's happening, am I gona pass out? Is my blood sugar low, I just ate (btw I got all that checked earlier this yr & all fine)? Should I go to the hospital?" etc. Those take some time to rein it in.

But, as you all have echoed, I am prepared, I've covered the bases with my P-Doc and T (two of the most important ppl I consult), and my friend is really the only person I'd want to go with besides my bf....I tire of ppl quickly (that true for anyone else here?).

I will certainly keep you all updated and if I can post here once I've arrived in Atlanta. Have to see.

Thank you again, everyone......you all mean so much!
