We leave tomorrow for Miami. R. was talking to his best friend last night about all the issues that are coming up and likely to make the weekend difficult. Let me start off by saying I don't really like this guy in general but last night he was feeding R's anxiety about the trip. He pretty much came right out and said, "you're going to have an awful time." Now I am sure there is going to be plenty of tension but I wouldn't say this out loud just because it doesn't need to be said. We're prepared but he didn't need to fan the fire!
But after R. told me about this we went out for a nice walk. We've been going to the next town over for walks lately. We can walk on fairly flat sidewalks without much traffic and without too many residences to watch out for. It's almost a 2 mile walk and it's felt good after dinner. Plus it means I can sleep in an extra 1/2 hour in the morning because I've been getting my walks in during the evening. Until fall really sets in and we can walk the bike path again this seems like a good solution.
I've noticed the walking helps me relax. I have more anxiety when I don't walk for a day or two. And I like walking with R. because we talk about a lot of things. When it rains I have a yoga DVD but I don't like it very much. I really should get another but R. bought it for me when I found out I was pregnant with Stella. I'm a sucker for sentimentality.
I am definitely feeling movement now which gives me a little piece of mind.
