I made some comment like, "Uh-oh, you're almost out of tissues, I'd better be careful in using them," and they asked how I knew that. Then marveled that they had not realized the color change near the end...
That's fascinating! Like the red stripe on the receipt at the grocery store when the printer is low on tape. I did not realize these existed.

My T uses Puffs tissues, and we have joked about how she needs an endorsement, maybe with a branded jumpsuit to wear, like a racecar driver. I admit I buy Puffs for home now too, which is kind of silly, but I like it.

The tissues are on a little side table next to where I sit. I like being able to control whether I want one and how many I use. Yesterday I shed exactly one tear (always out of the left eye, so weird!) but for some reason I really didn't want a tissue in that moment, so I'm glad my T didn't foist one upon me. But I can see where other people might find it comforting to be handed tissues.

I am 100% sure that my T has thought about her tissue deployment strategy because she tends to overthink everything (including which chair I select in the waiting room, no joke!). Sometimes I get eye-rolly about her over-analysis, but then I feel free to tell her when something incredibly small about her or her office is bothering me, so it goes both ways.
