QM, the thought of tapioca pearls horrifies me, whether in tea or in actual tapioca pudding. It's a textural thing for me. I used to enjoy iced chai tea lattes from Starbucks, so I get the idea of the early grey latte! Well, now I want an iced chai tea latte...

I wonder how I can adjust my expectations and behaviour to avoid this kind of experience in the future. Maybe I should do less “being friendly and nice” and then expecting that in return? Bc then I am super annoyed when people aren’t that way. I’m not saying I ought to be a jerk, just that I maybe shouldn’t go out of my way to be nice. |

That doesnt excuse the behavior, but it may explain why it came in from left field? Cuz she sounds indecisive from what you said in the later posts. I would almost say wishy-washy. |

I really think it is possible to spend too much energy trying to understand why this stranger is doing something. Set your boundaries and go on with your life. Plus there is a philosophy of it doesn't hurt to ask. Why are you taking her asking so personally?

My 80lb blind dog is now freaking out about climbing stairs. It is getting to be a problem because I am old and carrying him up the stairs is getting to be a bit of a challenge. He can still go down them which is good. But he is terrified of any ramp I try (and there have been several) and I am getting worried about leaving him with dog sitters plus he is only 7 so we have a few years of this left. And going out and telling him to just come in already in an exasperated tone is not having the desired effect of spurring on to self - sufficiency

Ugh. Getting my hair done this weekend. Highlighted and cut/styled. That's like 2.5 hours of small talk! I can't do this. Well, I can, I don't want to. But I want to get my hair freshened up so I have to endure it.

Kit, it's like we're on the same schedule for things. Both got mammograms this week, both getting our hair done this week, though mine was just a haircut (and stressful enough on its own!). Hope the salon visit goes well. If you don't want to spend that much time, could you just do the cut/style and not the highlighting?

I would get the hair cut one weekend and then highlight the next but next weekend on Sunday I am volunteering with Compassion International in Temecula CA which is about 2.5 hours away from me one way, so my day will be pretty much taken up. So I want the Saturday to relax. So same is true this weekend. I will do the whole hair thing on Saturday, then just Church on Sunday and get to relax all day Sunday afternoon. Oh and I have a religious class Saturday morning but I am going to make sure I don't have it next week so I can have a full day off. My hair stylist is so excited that I am coming in. I don't know why. She likes me in a platonic way. Unfortunately I have to come up with stuff to talk about. I'm just not that interesting! __________________ Dum Spiro Spero IC XC NIKA |

Info was especially annoying today. She tried to teach me how to have a dialogue between parts. Of course, the first step there is to admit that there are parts...(and yes, I know some of you agree with her that there are, that's fine, I'm not starting an argument here, just venting about my therapy appointment).
She also wanted me to enter a screen name, so I just put in The Client, because she was being especially rote and unimaginative today: "what does that bring up?", "a piece of that may be...", "what would it be like to be...?" You know, I'm half-seriously considering writing a scene of how rote appointments with her can be, with two characters, The Therapist and The Client, and making her read The Client role in the next session. Maybe she'll even recognize her patterns. None of this helped with the topic, which was about regretting sending those poems to my writer's group and what to do about that regret. Also I had to define autonomous for her, like an autonomous car. (She had the parts driving around in a car at one point.) Fashion report: black sleeveless blouse, lots of ruffles around the neck. Silver double hoop earrings. Couldn't see anything else. Or a block and tackle. |
