Dear T,
I don't really want to go out someplace for a bit for an outdoor beer (partly anxiety, partly slept really poorly so tired), but I keep thinking of your words in my head and need to push myself to do that. And today's the day before the trip that it's likely to be least crowded. And I'd rather not report to you tomorrow that I didn't go. Maybe I'll just go for a half hour then get carryout.

How the hell am I going to get through this trip next week? Maybe I should just plan daily check-ins with you, instead of just the one session (though you did say you're open to scheduling a half hour phone call, too, if needed). And I suppose there's email. Sure you can't come with us? There's a sofa bed. Then you could see my family in action! Not sure your wife would so much approve of that though...

Love,
LT

ETA: Never mind, I'm not going to the place today. Maybe you'll be disappointed in me, but whatever. Certainly wouldn't be the first time...
