This book is cool upon first glance through. You're gonna like it. I'm about to dive into one of the exercises using my mermaid deck. these cards are so pretty, aren't they?

Ah L. It's really ridiculous, you know. Absolutely, stupidly, annoyingly, freakingly ridiculous that after 10 ******* years of what I now see was pretty much all BS on my part, I have finally truly begun this work.
****. ****, ****, ****. (this post is the result of my first piece written to a prompt from the tarot for writers book; I shuffled & cut the deck I'm using, pulled a card, and it was the 9 of wands, and the prompt I chose from that chapter was to write about an escape route. So naturally, I wrote about the time a few years ago when I almost ended my marriage. Of course that's the first dang thing that comes up. Of COURSE it is. Stupid cards. Bah.) Dude I can't WAIT until Friday. I have so much to talk about. SO much. Make sure you eat your Wheaties that morning.... Last edited by ArtieTheSequal; May 14, 2023 at 08:39 PM.. |

I really do love writing though. Even when it's hard and brings up stuff I'd rather not think about. Why did I ever let myself stop?!?!

See you tomorrow.
I'd be very grateful if you could let me know that you got my email, because that's the conversation we need to have. How do I cope when there are no 'right' words? __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Dear T,
Sorry I'm so neurotic and needy...I imagine your other clients don't burst into tears when you say you'll now be off during one of their regular days the next week... I'm glad you were so understanding and empathetic about it. That's not why I want to see you tomorrow--just realized, like I said, I had lots of stuff to talk about from this weekend (realized on my walk another reason I was triggered by the phone call), and I don't really want to wait until Thursday to do so. Also, thanks for the reassurance when I apologized for referencing your birthday... Love, LT |

Thanks for acknowledging my email.

My mom just asked me to go out to lunch with her tommorow. Going out to eat terrifies me. I haven't gone out since New Years. But I know how proud you'd be if I went out. I just need to push myself. I'll have my mom choose the restruant. That will make it easier on me not to have to make a decision.

I'm worried you're going to leave. You're the first therapist I've had I actually like, and it's really scaring me.

E: You haven't responded to my emails in the past week or so. Are you ok? I guess it is a good thing you will be on vacation for the next two weeks. OMG. I just realized that I said I hope you have fun when I have no clue if it was a vacation, or some personal tragedy. UGH. I'm sorry.
T: Well, I have a feeling you will be getting more emails in the next two weeks. I'm scared for Friday, |

Thank you for your compassion today.
I didn't realise how much I needed to hear those particular words in relation to this situation. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Dear T,
Thanks for the support and empathy today. I think it helped to just get some of that out, the feelings and the tears. Part of me wishes I could just keep both the Thursday and Friday appointments (and I'm sure you'd be fine with that, too), but I know I need to pick one. I really appreciate your saying to just let you know tomorrow. (I really do mean it that you should ask me if someone requests one before then, and I'll decide.) Love, LT |

I emailed you Sunday night about my weekend and I haven't heard back. Maybe I'll hear from you tonight. I found some stuff that might send me down a rabbit hole I'm not sure I want to go down. This ulcer pain thing is real bad today so I don't think stressing myself out more will not help. I'll ask you tommorow what you think.

E: I’m being paranoid, right? It’s only 7pm. You have responded later in the past. This will be the last I hear of you until the 26th.

Phew! I was getting worried there. Enjoy your vacation, even though I won’t see you in person until
the 31st. T and E: Please please hope that if I need to take Luna to the vet tomorrow, that she’s ok. I’m scared. Also vet bills are so expensive! Not good timing. |

ah now i understand why i stopped writing. it's that whole too much of my truth comes out in it thing and i didn't know how to sit with it. yesterday i kept starting and stopping, starting and stopping. finally made myself stay in the feelings and wrote a poem that just made me sad (of course I had to eat a bowl of chocolate pudding to get through it, at least it was h's sugar free/fat free pudding!) I will share the poem with you on friday. don't worry, it's not about you (none of this is about you anymore).

i need to try totally stepping out of myself and writing oh, a sci fi kind of story or something. that's why i bought this book in the first place; just the first exercise i did out of it became very personal. Next, i'm gonna use one of the exercises for developing new characters. that oughta help.

Elon Musk went on a rage about remote working. Not the exact same thing but people do seem to be taking advantage of it now. My therapist is still mostly virtual.
