Hello dolly is the original earworm. The earworm to beat all other earworms. The Dune of earworms.

She wasn't truant she was still attending her set class just not the extra numeracy class. I tried to explain what truancy was and that it has a very specific legal meaning and if he strts using words like that around her (and he will) it wont do her self esteem any good.

(((BPA))) If your ex is anything like mine you're wasting your breath

He'll say whatever he wants anyway. It'll be up to you to support her self esteem.

Sitting in my car outside the T's office still debating whether to continue therapy. Not usually this indecisive. I fcking hate therapy and it seems to making me worse lately. At the same time, I don't really have anyone else to talk to about how ****ing insane my mother is and how she ****s with my head.

Just looked at our forecast. Heading towards 110 or higher in the next few days. That's hot anywhere, but in the Texas humidity, that will be ridiculous. Now I'm glad the air conditioner picked last weekend to break down.

Yesterday's session went so well. It's funny it's like the more nervous I am the better the session goes. However, my emotions don't feel it that way. It was nice to know that T is there and it's going anywhere and is with me 1000% through this even though I feel like I'm distancing. I'm hoping today's session can go just as well.

I actually feel better today than I have in months. I'm not well but I'm less not well than I have been. Progress I'll accept.

Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday.

I am making kombucha. I have never liked the commercial stuff - but took a class anyway and liked the kind there -so now I have a giant jar of fermenting tea on my bedroom dresser.

When people start threads that are supposed to be ongoing for people to post on their own progress, they need to be sure they take everyone off their ignore list. Just sayin'. Hint, hint . . .

I have T in an hour and I have no idea what to say think or do . if I tell her this she will get frustrated and tell me im avoiding and making things up to not talk about the things I need to talk about . every week now she is saying I am making things up if I even open my mouth

unaluna · Aug 04, 2015, 12:53 PM

Sometimes i dont know what to say either - i know hard to believe - but then we just get started and find something.

Start with how you are feeling generally and allow the conversation to evolve on its own. Sometimes going in without a plan creates the most productive sessions.

I am slightly concerned about separating the scobies at the end and keeping it alive until the next batch. I constantly try to make my own penicillin - stupid mds and their vice grip on antibiotics - although I have been doing well with natural antibiotics for the past few years.
The big concerns with fermenting seem to be fruitflies and mold.

Sounds like a really gross, disease-ridden science experiment

No no - one is supposed avoid mold and fruit flies.

In 7th grade we had a science experiment that involved fruit flies because of a new science teacher. The whole school had to be bug bombed because (and the guy seemed so surprised by this) 12 yr olds are not the most conscientious beings when it comes to fruit fly safe handling and containment. The cafeteria had swarms.
That was the first and last time fruit flies were a part of that middle school's science program.

Uh, okay. Not sure what I did, but you are welcome

. Things going okay this week? I know for me, weeks like that kind of have a delayed reaction for me.
