Dear T,

You seemed off today, tired, and a bit distracted maybe. Hopefully not sick (beyond a minor cold or something) or dealing with something bad in your outside life.

What's interesting right now is that I'm assuming it's not about me. Yes, I asked about the canceling of Friday's session, that I hope that didn't bother you, but that was early in session, before I noticed your being more off. And I accepted/believed your answer. I'm not sitting here thinking, "You are probably actually annoyed with me and didn't want to say it." Or "Maybe you're bothered by some of the discussion Thursday." I definitely would have been doing that a year ago, probably even 6 months ago. So...progress?

Of course, I ust had the thought that it would be rather ironic if you actually *are* annoyed with me, the time that I'm assuming you're not! But that's really not the vibe I got. Just hope you're OK, whatever it is. And that you'll seem more like your usual self on Wednesday. As that would suggest it was a transient thing.

Love,
LT
