that's a good quote!
It must also mean that I am wise too. Of course I am also stubborn. So - is there a proverb that says you can be both stubborn and wise?

Wikkid - I see no need to apologize to the therapist. You took a break and now are going to try again. No problems there and no need to act as if you did something to him. In my opinion.

I'm reading Quiet now (slower than I'd like - just can't find the motivation to pick up a Bonn) and so far im loving it.

No t this week. I usually do Wednesday or Thursday appointments and it's Friday and I'm already out of sorts. Yuck. Can someone remind me again what the point of therapy is again? Other than earning a membership to this awesome couch group?

To torture oneself until one has spent enough money that one thinks surely I am better now and have things I would rather spend that money on that are not this awful to endure.
Thanks for this!

Annorlunda is a good word. It would be a good name for a Viking woman.

Yup. I know that inside...I still feel stupid though.

He never responded, he must be away or something. I'll catch up with him next week.

I liked it too...I actually wrote it down, I am waiting on another pup and thought I would like a version of it for her name. Maybe Lunda.

Y'all won't believe what I stumbled upon on the interwebs...

I saw T's high school (11th grade) yearbook. There were 3 pics of her. One was at a dance, one was in the Latin club, and one was a regular school pic.

A few facts:
1. T looks exactly the same, 38 years later. Just older. And with less hair.
2. T was not a very pretty girl.
3. T was rather thin.
4. She was not smiling in any of the pics, even the dance pic.

Bizarre.

I'm suddenly a little bit sad tonight, even though i just got back from a bike ride. I think I'm just lonely. I miss having someone to talk to (ex-T).

Ooopppsss. I forgot to put the canned cat food back in the fridge and my furry friend helped herself to almost an entire can! Then redeposited all over the kitchen floor as a welcome home present. Ugh. Stepped in it as I walked in the door.

That is why it is good to have a dog to clean up after the cat. My dog treats the cat like she is some sort of delightful vending machine. Hairball sounds send him into ecstacy -like the ice cream truck if he was a child.
Thanks for this!

My friends' thought their cat was impacted because suddenly there was no poo in the litter box. Turned out the new dog is all: "Tootsie Rolls! Tootsie Rolls!"

Sorry. Too much? Cracking MYSELF up anyway.
Thanks for this!

Since I get the "I'm broke" rate does that mean I'm stuck with this longer?
I'm disliking the fact that I'm realizing that I kinda like T and that I don't just go see her because I have nothing else to do.

I found one more pic of her in the yearbook. She was smiling in this one. She is not in the "official" pic of the cheerleading squad, but in a candid shot from homecoming, she's dressed in a cheerleader uniform. GAH!! I hated cheerleaders. Especially when they cheered at my ball games.

Then again, she may just be wearing someone else's uniform. With her (well, lack of ) looks, she doesn't fit in with the girls pictured in the "official" shot...they were all hotties.

During one of our homecoming weeks, some of the guys in my class wore the cheerleader's uniforms...and fake boobs. It was a riot.

Hugs Granite, I'm feeling the same way right now. With the exception that I could email I just can't handle her knowing that I don't not care

I can't sleep and I've fallen into a bad headspace. :-(

I just spent another hour sorting through lists of therapists and emailing potential new ones.

Granite did you get your drunk on? Lol...I had to do that this week too. Do you have her email? F it, just send one, you're already suffering...how much worse could it get? (other then the next three weeks of worrying she's mad at you for emailing )
