Couch 25

I'm going to have the "easier" house supervision-wise, but it will be harder client-wise. The clients range in age from 26-66 with mental ages from 2-12. Diagnoses include severe to mild IDD, autism, schizophrenia, bipolar, intermittent explosive disorder, OCD, congestive heart failure, blindness, spina bifida, brain lesions, limited ambulation, etc.

Eek!

Then again, all of this is QP-oriented. I've done this before for 12, so 6 should be much easier.

Chopin - Wow, you really do have some challenges ahead. I'm confident that you will be able to tackle whatever comes your way!

YOU GOT THIS!!

Well, my lunch plans got cancelled....But I may stop over my friend's work for a quick break around 1:30 PM....

Gotta get in the shower....

I am all caught up on my jewelry orders....just waiting for some supplies to arrive so I can finish up some custom orders. Woo hoo!

LOL Lola! Well I made myself call, just got off the phone a few minutes ago. She's getting settled in her new home & still unpacking but she said she's really happy that she made the move, the energy is wonderful there, she's loving the weather, etc. I'm so happy for her. So anyway the phone session actually went really well, I don't know why I was so nervous. I told her right off the bat that I was really nervous and she couldn't understand why either. I guess just cuz it was different, I dunno. But she said "I'm sitting in my white rocking chair, I'm seeing you on the sofa across from me, there's the little round table between us...." and that got me picturing her now-ex-office and I said "and the raven is looking at me from the top shelf" she goes "yes, yes!" haha she has this life-size raven statue thingy that no matter where it is in her office I always feel like it's staring at me. I had two dreams in the past 2 weeks since I saw her last to work on, so once we started the dream work it was just like always between us except we weren't in the same room. I'm glad of that. I guess I was sort of afraid that she would be "different" somehow, but she wasn't.

Whew! Now I gotta get ready for work, toodleoo couchbuds!

I'm not one for talking to T on the phone. I'm not sure why I feel so anxious about it....Maybe it's the idea that I may be interrupting him or being too needy. If it was a planned phone session, maybe I'd feel differently about it. I'd imagine that it does have a very different feel to it, not being face to face. But ultimately, it's still the same person, which I'd probably try to keep in mind.

Glad your phone session went well, Artemis-within!

Good luck to all the Tuesday T folks.
Artemis I am glad your phone session went well.

I think there is something in the water at our office. Another woman in our office has to go in for the same kind of testing I am getting on Thursday. Her appointment is right before mine. Perhaps we can set up a VIP lounge at the hospital.

All you have to do is make an example out of one and the rest will fall inline....

Sconnie.... I'm thinking 2 for 1 special?

OMG.... T in 1 1/2 hours, I am so feeling sick.... I think I need to take something to calm me....

That would certainly help with the cost.

Doesn't hurt to ask....LOL Its not like they aren't already doing it for someone else, what's one more?

If that's what you need to do, do it. Whatever it takes to get through it.

Pre-T anxiety is the worst!!! Breathe, Lola, breathe!

I never , never, never have pre anxiety for T...... this sucks.... I really need a body double.... part of me does NOT want to go, actually ALL of me. If I don't go today, I'll quit all together.... **** just got real....ugggg

That's tough. I'm with Lola on the 2 for 1, though. Then the two of you could split half the cost.

You can do this Lola!!

So, you're going, Lola.....it's been decided........

1/2 hour....
trying to convince myself to mindlessly walk in....

1/2 ativan and 1/2 xanax = 1/2 mind to go......

I have to go... pocket riders please, please, please .... What if I have a panic attack in T? OMG.............. pray for me.

I'll stop whining now... off to the gallows.

jumping in lola you will be ok .you need to do this

I'm in your pocket, Lola. I'll be the one screaming.

You can do this Lola! Jumpin in your pocket too for safe keeping. Stay strong.

I DID IT GO ME
it turned out that it was an easy fix for the mothers car . but the reality set in that it isnt going to last another year .

i told her that in no way will i give her the money to buy a car .that the car isn't going to last another year and that she needed to figure it out. to find a way to do this .i did wimp a little and said that we would be willing to help SOME with the down payment but that i will not deal with another car payment.she said i know i need to figure something out. i don't know if she believes me or not

can you believe i did it yay me i can't believe how good this feels i'm going shopping lol

shhhhhhhh

I'm in, of course, of course. I'll be the quiet one with the beak and hairy feathers.

You're doing the right thing by going to T, Lola.
