Well, I am feeling sad and disappointed. I just received this note from my therapist:

"Hi Leah, hope you had a good day and that you love your new carpet. I forgot the invoice earlier."

*And she sent me an invoice for the same amount as last week, which is higher than what she offered me.*

I wrote her back this message, sigh:

"Hi XXXXX. I hoped when you said you scanned my emails this morning and were on your way out, that meant you'd actually read them later.

I also hoped when you told me you wanted to offer a flat rate for a midweek email, that you would follow through.

I'm not disputing the amount. I already struggle with feeling like I'm taking advantage and my discomfiture at seeing you've increased your rates. I'm not disputing the amount, just telling you that having you fall through on your offer, I feel.... let down."
