I have been having a fantasy about T coming to my house, kind of.

I have a lot of split wood stacked along one side of my house. A huge wood pile. I rarely make a fire in our fireplace and was thinking I need to get rid of some of this wood. Once, at my session, T and I walked to his car to get something, and then drove back to his office. In the back of his car (a van), he had a lot of wood. I asked him about it and he said he had been driving to work that day and seen a "free wood" sign and stopped to load up. He said he just couldn't pass up something like that. I loved thinking of T loading wood into his van along the side of the road.

Anyway, I know he uses wood, so I thought maybe I could get rid of some of my wood by giving it to T. I thought maybe he could come to my house with his van and get the wood. Then I had all sorts of anxiety about how awkward this might be. Would he have to come into my house? It would be rude not to invite him in, right? So I would have to clean my house. What is the minimum number of rooms I could get by with cleaning. Kitchen, living room, dining room. What would he think of my decor? Would he want a tour of the house? Would I need to straighten up my bedroom too? Or maybe I could just not invite him in. Phew! Or maybe I should just bring a load of wood in the back of my car each time I come to session and we could do a transfer.

My fantasies are not nearly as much fun as yours, sister.
