Much Needed
Today I have much needed day off. I have to go to Hamden to see my psychiatrist in a little while, but that’s hardly a major interruption in my day.
Alan got his real paper orders yesterday. He’s due at Ft. Carson In-Processing on June 20th, which is actually a couple days longer than we thought. Unfortunately, his orders are to report there before arranging any type housing. I guess at some bases certain ranks or positions are required to live on the base, provided there’s housing available. It makes me a little nervous. I don’t particularly want to live on the base. Then again, it’s a built-in community with people who can actually answer my questions.
Truthfully, it’s a bit of a relief, too. I wasn’t particularly relishing the thought of apartment hunting from 2,000 miles away. It’s just going to make those first weeks a bit nuts. I can deal with nuts. There’s just a whole lot to do that I’m really not feeling very ready for. It’s overwhelming and I don’t really know where to start.
One thing I am thinking of is whether I really want to stop my Lamictal right now. Do I really need the added stress of potential manic-depressive episodes on top of the traveling. I’m scared enough as it is.
And now I feel like I need to make a start on this whole thing. No more computer time today. Ack!

Being able to live on base for a while could be a good thing, since you’ll get a chance to get to know the area and not have to worry about housing.

Why would you have to stop your Lamictal? That’s a little bit ridiculous that they aren’t letting you get yourself housing for moving so far away. *GIGANTIC RIDICULOUSLY HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE LOVING HUGS*

*hugs* I see both pros and cons to living on base. I would view it as more of a relief, than anything. And I think you ought to stay on your Lamictal for a little bit – at least til you guys get settled. I assume it’s cuz you want to think about having kids that you want to stop? =D Hehe. ~*Stephanie
