Day 5 - 225 -- Still Waiting

Awake again before the alarm with some anxiety about the office move not happening when it should. At work, I packed most of the remaining stuff today -- just some artwork from the walls and the bulletin board left (desktop and computer, too, of course <smile>). The deadline given the movers is almost here, so I'm not sure what more to do. Worries also focus on how to make the new space work ergonomically for me. This will take input from others, so not necessarily something to lose sleep over.

I spoke with a friend about these sleep disruptions. I know that there is not much logic in the fears that surface in dreams and when awake. Naming the anxiety and noting the truth have  been purported to reduce anxious feelings. I clearly know the truth of the situation, yet the anxiety keeps surfacing. I've articulated plans to avoid the frustrations -- stated to myself and now to another person. I'm hoping this will help with the early morning waking.

A few lines from a song ran through my head today. "Waiting is the hardest part," was the key statement. The singer-songwriter is one of my favourites. Enjoy!
