Maintain, survive, endure

This is about as much as I can do lately.
I'll be moving soon.
My roommate is selling his house to move in with his sweetheart in California. He has offered me a place to stay with him there, but I have the opportunity to get a housing voucher, in Washington state, that will help me enough to get a place of my own, one that I don't risk losing.
I'll be leaving my dog behind with a good friend to look after because I can't give him the care he deserves right now.
I couldn't afford it if anything were to happen and he needed to be taken to the vet, and my emotional turmoil has started to take it's toll on him - I had not expected my anxiety to cause him as much distress as it does, but on top of that, the instability of my living situation would be even more stress on him, and it's too much - I can't do that to my pup. My friend and her husband both love their pets and have been looking for a good dog, so I know they will take good care of him.
I will also be moving thousands of miles from all the dear friends I've made where I am in Northern Virginia, so that is hitting pretty hard.
I don't really know anyone in the area I'll be moving to. I hope that will change once I'm there, but it's a lot to face at once.
I've had some difficulty in keeping things together, and there have been a lot of tears.
It's been hard to keep myself on track, and take care of all the preparations, much less find inspiration to keep up with my art.
I will to draw more, and I will be working on my sewing and fursuit design again...
But it's difficult to do much more than cry between distractions.
I really don't feel very strong right now.
Things will improve, and I'll see my friends again, I just have to keep reminding myself of these things.

Totally keeping in touch with all the friends I've made here, so that's a plus. One of those things to keep me going.
