T is on vacation this week and I am missing her even though I tried to tell myself it is only that one hour I am missing. I think because she said she would not be returning phone calls (at Christmas break she was 'around town' and took calls) because she is going to 'really be away' this time. I really miss therapy and T !!

But also today I accepted an offer by my manager to replace my supervisor who's leaving. I have never supervised before! I'll just have 5 people reporting to me but a hectic workload that has a weekly deadline and a million things that can and do go wrong. I've filled in several times when the supervisor is out so I've become more used to the stresses and I don't panic immediately anymore. (Note that I'm not saying I don't panic! lol). I'm excited and my manager is too. She offered me this job several years ago and I was falling apart and a mess and no way could I have done it then so I declined. I"m lucky to have been asked again. This time, I'm stronger and *most importantly*, I have T there! She and I have talked about the job, knowing it was coming available soon. She's there to help in any way and I am so glad to have her support. I know I'm going to need it.
Ironically the pay increase is equal to one extra session per week. HA!!

But she's on vacation and I can't tell her yet! I don't see her until a week from Thursday! I know I'll still be excited when she gets back and I can tell her. I don't want to leave a message, I want to tell her in person. I'm thankful I have good news to share with her and I really really can't wait till she gets back!!
