She’s just as confused by the message as I am since it was only sent to the cousins. But that’s actually kind of a relief that she’s fine with me staying at the hotel. No one has replied to my cousin though. So I don’t even know at this point what’s even going on.
I found out today my therapist is the same age as me. I thought she was about 10 years older. She looks older. I like her a lot so I guess it doesn’t matter but it feels strange having a therapist the exact same age as me. The second she told me her age I instantly felt weird. She acknowledged we were the same age and that she doesn’t tell everyone her age. She’s super professional though. Would the age thing bother anyone else?
Our session was good though. I fell asleep around 10 last night and my black out curtains helped me sleep until almost 8. So I didn’t have much time to dwell on my session at all. I basically just took a shower and watched 15 minutes of The today show before leaving.
I feel decent today although I’m a bit anxious but I had a small coffee and a diet Dr. Pepper.

I'm glad to read that you have a good impression of your new therapist. I have never minded a therapist being my age. In fact, there can sometimes be some key advantages of being from the same generation. I will say having a younger therapist than me never really worked out. For one thing, I wouldn't want a younger therapist looking at me as being "as old as their mother'. Also, I think that some generational differences can cause complications, but of course that wouldn't mean they were not up to the task of providing good therapy.
