I've only seen my new pdoc (Czech) once, so really don't know her well. I guess my biggest complaint at this early stage is that she doesn't speak English very well. To the degree that I ideally should have my husband there to speak for me, which is not ideal. My last pdoc (also Czech) spoke very good English, so going myself worked fine. He was a little stiff, but otherwise very good and responsive. Do you like your psychiatrist more or less than your therapist?

less... because most of the time their voice is more threatening than supportive. you're going to do this, or I'll do it for you. that kind of thing.

I had some bacon on a bacon-egg-cheese on English muffin maybe four or five days ago. I always enjoy them. It was homemade since there is no McDonald's near me. Normally in the US I like the ones with Canadian bacon, but they don't have that in Czech Republic. Closest would be ordinary ham. The typical bacon I know in the US translates to "English bacon" (Anglická slanina) in Czech Republic. Czech bacon (just "slanina") is even fattier.

I’m not a breakfast person. But when I was a kid and we were going up north to the cabin we got up at 3-4 in the morning to start the drive. By breakfast time we’d be halfway there. I’d be hungry then because I’d been awake so long. I liked hash with eggs. Plenty of hot sauce.

I do. It's a fun aesthetic, no matter the medium it's in!

Coffee, hands down. Bought a $50 espresso maker, so I can make my own cafe con leche. Studying abroad in Spain ruined me for percolator coffee!

No, I should but they’re so big and I’m tired of the meds I have to take. I tried chewable but bah. I do take iron pills twice a week because I donate blood regularly.

The curtains are old fashioned lace curtains, they were on the windows when I moved in and I didn’t change them. They let the light in while giving privacy. There’s also a pull-down shade.

I do find high humidity oppressive. I think it makes me feel more anxious.
Do you enjoy milk shakes? __________________

I love them, particularly with peanut butter!
On a related note, do you like ( or have you tried) ice cream with a big scoop of peanut butter? __________________ "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

I’m hungriest around 11:00am each day. Probably because I don’t eat breakfast then it just hits me that I absolutely must eat something.
