Better, slowly but surely. A much-needed conversation with B about expectations and boundaries and figuring out where we both stand was good. Still struggling a little bit. Definitely a lot of the HALT, especially LT. I don't have a ton of social connections in Texas yet...and I'm constantly exhaust...
