Just a little break.

So, I talked with my counselor today and came to the decision to take a teeny GP break for a bit. I've mentioned it a few times, but I have issues with anxiety and mostly it worsens when things are changin'. Basically...my brain's all like,"I don't like change" (a la Stewie Griffin) and it short circuits into tunnel vision focusing on the one thing that's the catalyst for change, and that leads to a super fun Anxiety+Panic Attack Land visit for GoodWolf.

So since this TTC business is all new for me, I'm going to try to step away from GP until we're into the swing of TTC and my anxiety is under control :) Shouldn't be a long break, but I didn't want you all to think I ran away. I hate my stupid brain and it's inability to have normal emotions, but whatevs. You better believe I'll be back. 

I hope @seahorse01 is busy while I'm away.
