I tried not to get hung up on scheduling and location issues. I knew my schedule was very flexible for time, day, and location; I told T I'd go anywhere between the Atlantic Ocean and Ohio, Pennsylvania's border with New York down to Virginia's border with North Carolina I was working the job I was #1 to pay her out-of-pocket ($800-$1000 a month) and only #2 for the health insurance, #3 for the IRA/retirement investment and wanting to like the job was a distant #4 (it turned out to be one of the best jobs I'd ever had; was custom made for me).

When I get upset about things outside the therapy room, I try to look at them as if I'm signed up to take a class and really want that particular class with that particular teacher. I didn't consider the other students at all; who they were, why they were there, what they were doing, how much they paid for the class, if they were scholarship or I thought they belonged/didn't belong in that class.
