Re: not coping

Agreed @outlander waiting for news can be so excrutiating! Do you have much on over the next few days, help keep your mind busy?

Re: not coping

@outlander busy busy, hope it isn't too busy hey.

Yeah daily walks have been immensely helpful for me as well - I have been doing a lot of barefoot running and it is actually so nice to have my toes in the grass. Bit frosty this time of year though!

Ahh the ol' balancing your expectations conundrum... I know it well. Hopes too high can lead to disappointment. Hopes too low can lead to a lack of motivation. But I think it can all be a learning experience along the way as well. Let us know when you hear back!
