Waiting is awful. Last time I had such a knot in my gut that I Googled "how to wait for cancer results". Amid all the stuff I found there were some gems of wisdom. I can't really explain but one was a sort of affirmation you started every morning with. Worked a bit for me. Then I decided to splurge and bought myself an iPad I didn't need and couldn't really afford. It turned out to be beneficial because at the same time I joined an iPad class. the class wasn't all that useful but it was fun and I was suitably distracted.

Perhaps you should give the silks a rest for a week or two!!!
