Dear MC,
I had this dream last night where we were supposed to have a session by phone, but the receptionist kept putting me on hold and didn't seem to know who I was or which person I wanted to talk to. And then the phone kept cutting in so I could hear your conversation with another T about some other patient and then you saying that you'd had tuna fish with tomato for lunch. Then it went back to a different receptionist, who said you wouldn't be able to talk to me because it was your birthday, and you were going to leave early that day to avoid the traffic. I was annoyed because I had an appointment and also sad. She said I should try to set something up for tomorrow, and I was like, "Does he have any openings tomorrow?" And she said, "No."

Then the receptionist said she was concerned about you, because she'd seen you write something down in Swedish (and you are certainly not Swedish!) that roughly translated to, "Even when I am polished, I no longer shine like I used to." And that made me feel sad.

So, what was that all about? I'm guessing the first part was concerns about not connecting with you or that I'm not a priority, something like that. Maybe because you were out of town this week? Some other reason? Hoping snow doesn't cancel our appointment Monday...
