StrumRugerSR9 offers up some great advice with the above post. Definitely carry around the house and get used to carrying, and also do some dry practice drawing from concealment. It'll help you to be more confident when your permit does come in and you start carrying for real. The only thing I'd like to add is to make sure not to leave the four walls of your house if you are carrying concealed around the house to get acclimated to carrying. Title 11 allows a carve out to carry concealed IN your house without a permit, but as soon as you step outside, your are engaged in a felony, specifically carrying a concealed deadly weapon without a license. Get dinged for that and it's major bad juju. It's a felony conviction, typically a year on Level 2 probation and a permanent loss of your right to even touch a firearm for the rest of your life.
