M. Need to vent

C. Go for it

M. I’m frustrated that I have to ask for a payment plan. I was wigging out when found out bill was due. Fortunately, had funds to cover. Thank God! I was sweating this. Also, fortunately I’m getting a check from ST and AR, which will be super helpful.

C. I bet that was a huge relief.

M. It was a TREMENDOUS relief. I thank God for this blessing.

C. What else?

M. Feeling discombobulated with so much stuff in the air.

C. What else?

M. Well, the good news is that I just got a call from SH about HS payment.

C. I suggest you work on the ST AMB stuff this afternoon. I know you’re stressed out, but making progress with ST will help you psychologically and professionally. You’ve done a great job of staying focused and persevering the last 60 days in particular. Keep it up. Soldier on. Persevere! Second to none. You can do it. You’re tough as nails!

M. Thanks!

C. Was this helpful?

M. Definitely. I needed to get all this stuff off my chest and out of my head.

C. You got it
