It's my T's birthday today. I am trying to decide if it is weird I know this.
Yesterday I was supposed to have an appointment with T. She texted me about a half hour before saying she didn't feel well and needed to cancel. No big deal. She was upfront in the beginning about having health problems.
Today I texted her and said that I hoped she felt better and that I prescribed warm tea, fuzzy socks, warm sweater, good book, mystery movie, and snuggling with her dogs.
She got back to me and said that was a perfect prescription because today is her birthday. So of course I texted her back and wished her a happy birthday.
If this was a friend it wouldn't be weird. But everything is different through the therapy lens. It's like did she want me to wish her happy birthday, is that why she told me? The disclosure is nice sometimes I just don't know always what to do with it. I would have felt like a heel if I didn't wish her happy birthday. But like I have never known a T's birthdate before. I knew long term T's birth month and that she was a twin but that's about it. What if she expects me to remember next year? Ack!
Now we are having issues rescheduling the time. ::stressful::
