On days like that, I've gone in and told my T I just want to sit there and not talk. Sometimes, we've listened to music. One time I read a book and he did some paperwork quietly. I just wanted the ambient support, y'know? I didn't need the chattering because I had a headache or I was tired or whatever. On another occasion, we talked lightly and casually about current events -- nothing important or major or personal. Again, I wanted his presence and to be there, but I didn't want to "work".

The way I look at it, it's my dime, and I don't have to talk if I don't wanna! Still, I felt better for going.
