Another good thing is that my therapist is not a Czech, so he sort of knows what it's like to be from somewhere else. He's a Slovak, which to some may not seem foreign in Czechia, but that's not completely true. I've found Slovaks to be much friendlier and open. Czechs can be so darned stiff, sometimes.

Just a bit ago I signed up for an expat fair in the city I'm living in. It's in early April. Hubby's still sleeping. I only reserved one ticket since I'm 90% sure he wouldn't want to go. I'll go alone, unless he surprises me on this. @GoGo2, you motivated me to do more to meet people. Thanks!

Ooh, you'll have to let us know how the expat fair goes. Sounds intriguing.

As for your therapy...you know, I've cut back to seeing my T only once a month, mostly because we had come to a point of only "small talk" and light political discussion (she's extremely liberal), stuff like that. I thought it was kind-of meaningless. Interestingly, what I'm finding is that those sessions actually helped to de-stress me. I'm somewhat re-thinking my only once per month idea. It sounds like your sessions are healthy for you.
