Thanks, Lost.

And you're right that Zoom is better than no session at all. And I do like that it's an option, if I'm out of town, weather is bad, or I'm not feeling well (or have been exposed to Covid). And we did generally well on Zoom, too.

I've realized that part of why I'm upset, too, is that also the check-in texts are gone now. Even if I explained to him why they helped me and he said it was fine to keep doing them, I would feel bad about it, knowing they were irritating him, even if it was just "mildly," as he put it in his email.

It also doesn't help that he told me to feel free to respond to his email, so I sent a few paragraphs yesterday morning. I wasn't expecting a long reply, just some sort of acknowledgment, as he always in some ways acknowledges my emails (unless it was simply me saying "thanks" for one of his), usually in the mornings, and always within 24 hours. And he sees some clients on Sundays, so it's a workday for him.

So I hadn't heard back as of 2:30 today, which was like 30 hours after I sent it. I at least wanted to know if he read before my session tomorrow (as I explained a couple things), so I sent him an email just asking him to confirm he'd seen and read it. He replied within a half hour, said, "I did, sorry for not confirming."

That's just not how he generally is. I'm trying to tell myself he's just been busy this weekend, but of course I'm concerned I have further annoyed him, both with my email response and follow-up. I guess we'll see tomorrow...

I just hope it goes OK because H has hip surgery Tuesday, and I'll need to be mostly in charge of D (driving her to/from school, making dinner, doing all the chores, etc.) for a week or two while he recovers. So I don't want to be stressed about therapy, too.
