I really hate talking on the phone. My T doesn't seem to use the phone much and doesn't encourage calls. So maybe we are a good combination that way. Anyway, at our session Tuesday night (which was great, by the way), he let the session run late then had to rush out, because he had an event to attend that evening. We didn't have time to get our next appointment on the books for next week. He said "I will call you tonight after my event, to schedule you." I said, "OK," then added, "Are you really going to call?" (because I know he is not a real phone person). And he said, "yes, I promise I will call." And he asked for my phone number, wrote it on a piece of paper, took his schedule book with him, and jetted out the door.

Well, he didn't call that night. And he didn't call yesterday. And he hasn't called today. I called and left a message on his voice mail about 3 hours ago. He doesn't work on Fridays and this is a 3 day holiday weekend. He will not have many slots available in the shortened week next week.

I have had a really rough last few days. I am falling to pieces. I don't want this phone call to cry on his shoulder, although it would be nice to hear his voice. I want this phone call only so I can schedule an appointment next week. That's all. I am so falling apart and need to know I can see him next week. I feel really abandoned that he has not called me to set the appointment.

I bet he never calls.
