SO I have been skating around the apartment for hours! It's been 22 years since I last skated. I'm really taking my time and will definitely be sure I'm very comfortable being back on wheels before I attempt skating outside. I did forget about water; there was some spilled on the floor. I slipped on it and landed flat on my butt. It didn't feel fab, but definitely no big deal. David was here and it really scared him. Amusing to me, because he's always been into athletics 
The skating is so exciting to me! I feel like I own my body and spirit when I skate.

Now, on to the perturbation of my day. I was scrolling Facebook while eating my lunch and there it was: a big photograph of MARY, my therapist! I saw the name of the clinic above her pic and I thought, "Oh, my God...she's died and they've put up a memorial page for her."
Nope. She's actually quite alive. I wish I could post the picture/text here, but it's probably be against the forum rules. The clinic director had written this whole deal about "recognizing one of our finest clinicians, Mary..." Gave a sweet bio on her. THEN it stated her areas of therapy specialties and invited patients/potential patients to CALL FOR A FREAKING APPOINTMENT WITH MARY !!!
I was STUNNED.
I commented on the post that perhaps instead of calling for appointments (since Mary is currently on leave with no return date) we should send good energy and prayers her way.
I was like, was the director high when she posted that thing? What on earth was she thinking? People will call and say they want an appointment with Mary..."Oh, well, we're not sure when she'll be back, she's been out for six weeks so far..." Or is it bait and switch: I'm sorry, Mary is on leave. But we do have a new therapist; would you like to schedule with her? Because the new one is the only available therapist there right now, with Mary gone and Dr. B. leaving on June 30th.
But if they want people to schedule with the new (womanchild) therapist, why not stick her photo up there, instead of Mary's?
Honestly, I did not know whether to laugh or cry. I do know that I am really pissed off about it.
*sigh*

It is a gloriously lovely night tonight and I am going to take a shower. Much love to each 
...Nammu, how are you?
