The Waiting...

Tom Petty was right - The waiting is the hardest part.

Each day I'm getting more and more anxious. I'm still recovering from last week's cold but I feel pretty good this morning.

On one hand I'm worried about the ton of stuff I still need to do, wondering how I'm going to get it all done over the next week. On the other, I just want to chuck it all into a big furnace and make it all go away. But this is what I did when I spent 3 years gaming for 6-8 hours a day...I just hid from my problems and that obviously didn't work.

My biggest fear right now is about my boots and custom made inserts which my feet are still adjusting to. I'm wondering if I shouldn't have stuck to my guns and gone with a more lightweight trail runner type shoe. Granted the ones I ended up with fit well, but they are heavier than I'm used to.

Bah. I'm not gonna worry about it too much - I need to remember to go slow and steady. It's not a race and I need to hike my own hike. Adapting is one of my strengths as it is with most adults with ADHD.

There's no turning back now, but then again, I honestly have never wanted to. I just hope it stays that way.
