Couch 97: Prime Pyramids

Poor pup
The bugs are out in force here with the recent monsoon weather. It looks like the seven year old had a mosquito crawl up under her shirt because her back is a mass of itchy welts

well i want to bop myself in the head right about now. i babbled like an idiot on the phone with t a little bit ago. jeezo pete!! *sigh*

(she told me she'll be arriving in town by next Friday. To stay. aggh.... now to wait until she has an office set up here again, and know she's here but not see her. I suppose now I know why she made sure we got to meet back in May when she was here on business. Otherwise I would really go nuts waiting.)

Babbling like an idiot can be a really good thing

Oh Art! That's awesome news!! (I guess I replied right while you were editing...)

Arte you can borrow my snugli that i use to strap myself onto my t until she finds an office.

Yeah, 'specially cuz she's fluent in my babble. I'm about 250% certain that what she actually heard, instead of whatever I was babbling about, was "I am so excited you're moving back and I can't wait to start talking in person again and by the way I love you." Shoot, I don't even know what all I was on about.

I blame 15.

I tend to edit a lot.... and thanks!! (see, I did it again!)

Thank you!

TV died the other night and I am surprised how well the kids are taking it. Won't be getting a new one for a couple of weeks so hopefully everyone can keep their sanity until then.

im so angry today . so angry . it is one of these days i dont know how im going to get through . i am really angry at my T and i know i shouldn't be. nothing of this is her fault . if i could just figure all this out . she cant help me do that

(((granite)))

Time to break out the board games or Uno deck!

Hope things get back to normal soon.

I used to love Uno. And Skip-Bo I think it was called. Haven't played either in years.

(yawn) I am tired.... couldn't sleep last night and got up waaaaay too early this morning, couldn't stop thinking about what t said yesterday about her current rate, I'm still paying half of her previous rate for my half-sessions, and now I feel guilty that I'm not paying more, I get so much benefit out of every phone call, I don't want to feel like I'm cheating her. I emailed her about it and asked if I should be paying $60 instead of $50 now, I also said that I know we should talk about it instead of email about it, so I probably won't get a response, but dang it now I'm worried that she's going to start resenting me but then again she hasn't asked me to pay more so how would I know? Meh. I hate money. And it's times like these I hate this stupid relationship too.

I want to try limoncello...

I would play Uno but they always skip me...

I think you brought up a good point with T, "You would tell me if you thought the fee should be increased, wouldn't you?" Then trust that she will bring it up/tell you the fee has increased if she believes she needs to.

It needs to be served VERY cold, but then it is very nice.

Kids are too young for Uno but I think the moms wouldn't mind playing. Thank goodness for Legos though it keeps them busy.

Luckily we are on vacation for a week so that will help.

Just because it made me laugh, and I needed that...

I have made limoncello - kind of fun to make. I like it mixed with gin better than by itself.

I think it's fairly common for therapists to grandfather clients in so that while rates for new clients may go up, long-term clients' rates often don't.

I often worry about things like this, but can be a bit more objective when it's someone else, haha, so I will remind both of us that it's your therapists job to mind her boundaries including charging appropriately, so she shouldn't have any problem speaking up if she wants to, and if she hasn't asked you to pay more, the current rate is likely absolutely fine with her.

Hope it's sorted soon.

I skimmed through and saw Skip-Bo and thought there was Mikado talk going on.
A bit dashed to find just cards.
I play bridge and euchre.

Dashed, as in They'll cut a dash on their wedding-day?

Dashed as in saddened.

Sorry sd. But now i must go see what is Mikado...

Thx leah & precaryous. I just get paranoid cuz that rupture we had re: money was painful. Now that i read that leah about the grandfathered thing i think she did mention that one time. Ah sigh. This t stuff it messes with a person sometimes don't it? She has helped me to help myself so much i just want to be fair to her.... But you're right it's her stuff to tell me...
