Dear T,
I hope you arrive (arrived?) home safely today. I feel weirdly distanced from you, even though we met on Friday. Hopefully it will feel OK tomorrow. I don't know whether to talk about anything related to the therapeutic relationship or whether to just focus on D and potentially save that for Friday? I guess I'll see how I feel when I see you pop up on my screen.

Sucks that you aren't in town today, or we could have probably met outside with the weather being so nice. Supposed to rain tomorrow, and I imagine for Wednesday, I'd be emotional after the IEP meeting, so would want privacy (plus I think it's supposed to be windy). I'm wondering if you're still considering resuming in-person next month? If so, then I'd of course be less anxious about meeting outside. I fear you'll just push it back again. Our county is doing considerably better than it was, but still not out of the woods. I'm not sure what your metrics will be--I suspect *you* don't even know. And who knows if your wife will veto it if you are ready to return in person (like you said about her reaction the one time).... Presumably we could at least meet outside on occasion later next month, if nothing else.

So I may need to bring up the in-person thing this week, though maybe not tomorrow and probably not Wednesday. Though maybe I could just make the comment of "we could have met outside today" and see if you jump off from there.

Safe travels.

Love,
LT
