I am watching Pitch Perfect 2 - I find it fairly funny. I also enjoyed Pitch Perfect.

I have always been monogamous also - I find dealing with one other person to sometimes be more than I can handle - I cannot imagine me having the urge to juggle more than one other person at a time.

I'm not convinced life long monogamy is normal for humans or should be the standard. No other primate species mates for life.

My next session is on my adoptive mothers birthday. My first reaction was to change the day. I want opinions please. Should I keep it and risk talking about my adoptive mother. I am really in a tizz here and can't really think straight.

If that day is usually tough for you, maybe therapy on that day could be supportive?

Would it be wrong to talk about her?

8.5 for English literature file
7.4 for Economics test
8.1 that'll be rising to maybe an 8.7 for my mother tongue test

i hardly ever dream and i hate when i do . my T says that i dream and i just block it out . that im probably dreaming and half remembering when i wake up in a panic for no reason . im just blocking the memories . not a fan of that theory. i know when i have been dreaming .like last night . it was about the mother and my step farther . my stepfather had left for some reason and i couldn't find him . there was no sign of im i had gone into his garage looking for him and it was empty of all his stuff.the devastation was too much for me . the mother was all victorious and cared nothing of me . i felt the sorrow so deep inside me when i woke up .it makes me so sad. he meant everything to me . he is what made life bearable for me . i know it was not a big deal of a dream but again for me it was horrific . the idea of him not being around the terrified me .

Well, got my last chapter of reading done. Now just to read the common core article and respond as to whether or not I agree to the US adopting it.

Got a call about my car. The mechanic could not duplicate the overheating...strange...it overheated on my 3 times since replacing the radiator. Though all 3 times I was stuck in snail pace inching along traffic do to a wreck. One of them had traffic backed up 3 miles. Strange.

He did fix my AC though and is doing an oil change that I am due for. Car should be ready later this afternoon in time to go to CVS.

Well, I'd better get to my common core article and paper. It's only 7:45 Phoenix time (where the school is located), so I have a while still.

I do think your t wants to hear about it. For me, the anger subsided some with talking about it.

I'm really annoyed with my T. A couple of weeks ago we decided to schedule appointments during PE lessons which was handy for several reasons. We agreed that she would arrange this with my school. I've asked her several times during the last few weeks whether she'd done so and she never responds. Now I'm really uncertain whether or not this is arranged, whether I have to say something myself tomorrow at school, whether school will even allow me to skip PE lessons.. AND T IS NOT RESPONDING! I've emailed her yet again this morning, texted her this afternoon and called her half an hour ago (got voicemail). And no response. -.-

And barely a minute after my post here, T called. Turns out she'd been trying all day to email, but the system wasn't working.

which I probably shouldn't whine about, but really, trying ALL DAY? She agreed to send that email almost a month ago..

Just checked "Where's my refund?" on the IRS website. My refund should be sent to my bank on March 23rd. Yay, $250 in my pocket. $100 of it can replace what I had to spend on my car repair today. The other $150 can be treat myself special money.
Thanks for this!

Great, Breadfish. Now I want you to post: "My therapist should give me a million dollars/euros/whatever currency you like." Let's see how far we can take this!
