Thanks,
Frankly I'm thinking about parking the stuff I need to talk about, and having a conversation about how this online time is actually going to work next session. Completely effed up that I have to think that way, of course. Specifically, I need to talk about reassurance within the context of online sessions. 'I'm right here' makes it so much worse. I'm not in therapy to figure out how to explain my physical disability, but that feels like it's gonna be a lot safer than trying to talk about All This online. I still can't believe that she's doing this, but I can't say it like that. *curls up on Couch, whimpers* __________________ '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 |

Now I also have an important meeting for work on the same day as my last in person therapy session until September.

I have decided to name new T "flipper", like the dolphine. Mainly because he loves his flip chart... and it sounds cute xD

Virtual session with Dr. T while he's at some undisclosed beach (I mean, he was in the beach house, not siting on the beach, of course). I was crying a bunch of the time--I wasn't sure why. I think I know part of it now, but I guess I need to sit on it till Monday.
He also got positive news about the move--that his permit was mostly approved--right at the end of our session. I said maybe it's because we just scheduled for that day that he'd likely be moving--July 29 (he said we'd go ahead and schedule in case it didn't happen). He said maybe I'm his good-luck charm. |

I'm so sorry, Scarlet.
I wonder whether it would make any difference if you could open it in private browsing mode? __________________ '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 |

I'm not sure how the email tracker works. We looked up the case number to see what case it is. Found out it has to do with a different case from our old apartments. I don't know why she's emailing me. She has their address. I think I'm just going to leave it unopened and if the court says anything I can claim I never received it. She has my p.o. box too. Again, no need to email. She's just harassing me again.

Couch mini-poll: Where should ATAT travel next? (Probably around the holidays.)
A. Rome. (Yes, I was just there in 2022, but now I have a book of all the Lat8n inscriptions in Rome organized into 15 walking tours, which combines three of my favorite things: inscriptions, walking, and exploring unfamiliar cities.) B. Ireland. (I am almost half Irish, plus I’ve been reading a lot of Irish literature and mysteries lately, and watching things like Bodkin. So much so I’d tell you I’m grand if you asked how I was. Also a bit cheaper to get to.) Where would you go? __________________ Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten. Daß ich so traurig bin. “I do not know what this can mean.

Ireland around the holidays might be a good way to get some respite from the overblown aspects of that time of year, but the weather would be better in Rome..
Not much help, I know. Ireland would be my choice, because I have always wanted to see it. __________________ '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 |

My H, who is mostly Irish, really enjoyed his trip to Ireland years ago (before we met) and still talks about it. And wants to go back. So, vote for that. Granted, he has not been to Rome. I haven't been out of the country, though would love to go to England and the Tuscany region of Italy at some point. |

I would probably would choose someplace new so I would choose Ireland if I had already been to Rome.

A healthy human being should be able to manage more than one social thing in a day, right?
I'm attending a new-to-me online grief group tonight, where I won't know anyone. This morning I went for a walk and then popped into a shop, where we ran into friends and ended up going for coffee. I could feel my social battery depleting by the second. We sat there for an hour before the thought 'I need to get out of here' crossed my mind. Shortly after that, we left. Is this normal, or 'normal for someone who's going through a lot'? __________________ '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 |

I think it's totally normal--definitely for someone who's going through a lot, but also can be normal for an introvert. I can only handle so much social time, and my battery runs out. Like I wouldn't want to do something social on a Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday. Just two is enough, and if one was something like a party or family gathering, it can wipe me out. The holidays can be difficult for me for that reason. I need a lot of alone time in general. So please try to be easy on yourself right now. |
