Three guesses what kind of therapy mood I'm in right now, more anti- or less anti-?
@@

Current mood: Love is in the air, but replace all the love words with therapy.

Therapy is in the air, everywhere I look around
Therapy is in the air, every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes.

Well, this was for H, and it was more deciding whether he would like, say, shirt x or shirt y better--and then L or XL? I'm sure he'd appreciate chocolate, too!

Go for the look that looks like you could wear it more than once and can be dressed up or down. But also looks more comfy. For size there's always a guide on the website but also go with the size DH already buys.

For chocolate. I did this for two different friends- One: I bought a large empty jar then I filled it with peanut M&Ms and put a bow on the top. Friend 2: was Ferror Rocher themed- so I bought a giant ferror rocher, with another smaller box with kinder beuno in white and dark chocolate, a box with just plain kinder chocolate and finally a kinder surprise! So you could go with his favorite brand?

I had to pick out a rental car yesterday from about 20 options. It was overwhelming, & don't even get me started on scheduling an initial pickup time.

I picked out a really nice 2019 Impala, which was supposed to be in the "midsize" section that I could chose from. I think someone put the car in the wrong area because it's too nice.

Is there an award for biting your tongue, being an adult, and not responding to someone trying to bait you? I’m at work and if there is an award I’ve already earned it like three times today.

I am becoming a pro at it.

They have improved substantially.
I mean, I want my Mustang back (the top is getting replaced), but the Impala has a V6, and the inside is very nice.
Believe me, I was shocked. I also had low expectations for a "midsize" rental car.

One of my favorite stories with my ma: i always had to yell at her to put the car into park, THEN unlock the passenger door switch to let me in: I didnt want to be in the headlines, "Granny Runs Over 53-Year-Old Toddler in Own Driveway."

It was raining earlier, but stopped. Not really any wind either. And no rain/wind when it went out briefly last night. Just hoping this isn't going to be a regular problem...

Hi all, got caught up on the couch. I spent the Thanksgiving holiday sick with a cold. Upside, I got to watch lots of football! And I did manage to get the tree decorated. Kit

Is it a part of emotional unstable personality disorder that I get angry still about how poor sweetpea Ebony was treat by the scumbags who hurt her so bad?

Just got an email from my therapist to cancel today's session because he woke up sick this morning. I was really looking forward to seeing him since it's been a week. Now I feel sad and lonely.

I have the same disorder. I can't tell you whether it's part of it, but I feel similar about situations sometimes. I get upset even long after certain things have happened. Not with everything but with some things.

I am through with classes but may go in to school just to get away from annoying pets. The cold windy weather means I close the door which keeps them from the pet door - much annoying pet behavior ensues. I then lock them all outside and the cats start mewing like they are dying (it is around 30 degrees here - none of them are in danger of frost bite or hypothermia) and the dogs just lie staring at the door, willing it to open. We have been doing this routine about every 20 minutes for the last two hours.

I got my kitty a vet appointment for Wednesday. Now I just need my office manager to approve my time off. She's not sick...she just needs a check up. Work is stressful today. I wish the appointment was today so I could leave. Oh well. Kit.
