I was lucky, there was rarely anyone waiting to see my T or having seen her right before.

My favorite though was when she went away for 6 weeks the first time, to another country, and I had a really really hard time with it and actually forgot when/what time of day, our sessions were! I knew the day she was coming back (we always had a set day/time for our sessions and rarely changed that) but couldn't remember the time. So, I took the whole day off work and went "early" and just "sat" outside the door for a couple hours. This was in an apartment complex which had the clinic and some of the apartments were also clinic "offices" on different floors, etc. but most of the apartments were also regular apartments! So I'm sitting in an apartment hallway all day, outside her particular clinic "office"! :-) She came "early" (she said, an hour before our session) and was slightly astonished to see me and I explained I'd forgotten the time and that's I'd been there a couple hours (never in my wildest dreams occurred to me to call and ask what time?) and she could tell I was "desperate" and fortunately said we could start then. Of course, that was back in the day when I didn't talk so we got in the session and. . . :-)

Once she compared me to her 2-3 year old granddaughter and that made me a bit jealous :-)
