Well I've moved up the ladder towards the castle....
Hey..
I just got the call that I'm going in next week. I didn't expect to get in so quickly. They said 6 months. Anyways there is an opening so I go in next Thursday....and I'm scared to death.
I will do a lot of reading to get ready. But I do have so many things going against me. Like low ferritin 7 not sure why. Blurred vision that is worse one day to the next. I only weight 107 lbs including my fibroids......
I'm really scared...............

Thank you for every kind word.........I can't tell you how much I need that right now. I've been crying one minute, happy the next, scared to death, back to crying
Arlynn that is really kewl..........just so you know how cool it really is.......my middle name is really Oce'an which is french which means of course Ocean.... I was born by the ocean and the mist always gives me the peace I need.....That is how I got my name oceanmist..... So as quickly as the mist engulfs the castle .......just as fast does she dissipate.......
Ok enough of that and back to crying, and chewing my nails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then visualize. Imagine you are that ocean mist, and the anxiety swirls through you like the ocean breeze. Feel yourself rising up towards that castle, engulfing it, engulfing the anxiety, and scattering it to the wind.

Ya'll should write one of those romance novels - you have a gift
Oceanmist - I had short notice for mine also - and it is so much better than the Sisters that have to wait months for their date.
Take a deep breath and schedule yourself for some pampering before your visit to the castle. Have a pedi and a mani - have your hair done - go shopping for new undies. Buy yourself something pretty - and make sure you get a new pant of white pants - I was really looking forward to wearing something other than navy or black. Stock up on comfort foods and things to do while you are recovering - books, magazines, crafts supplies, etc.
I purchased new sheets and put them on the bed the morning I went to the castle - so my bed was fresh and ready for me. ( Before, I only used the cheaper linens because I ruined so many)
Hang in there - before you know it - this will all be behind you and you will feel SO much better.
