Thanks, LT!

It's good to have something to aim for, even on the toughest days.
Lately I've been battling the urge to go and lie down after lunch.

My support worker suggested today that I might be 'mentally exhausted'.
That resonates, with Everything that is going on.

I hope life is treating you well?

Lost

Running late/procrastination may have paid off for me today. I meant to leave the house at 10:30 to get a prescription at CVS (trying to beat lunch rush at drive-thru), but didn't end up leaving till about 10:50. On the way there, I wondered why cars were all randomly stopping and changing lanes. Then, I realized a light pole had fallen across the right two lanes (I was in the left one, but have just as easily been in the center lane). It must have happened not long before, as there were no police on the scene, and a few cars pulled off on the shoulder (I assume one of them hit the light pole). I could have potentially been in the middle lane when the lightpole fell and been hit, had I left a bit earlier. Just a bit nerve-wracking to think. (Note that it didn't look like anyone was injured, at least by the pole, and a police car was on the scene when I was heading home.)

So sorry, LT.

I'm thankful you were not involved, but it's still a scary thing to witness.
It's a relief to hear that it seems nobody was hurt.

Quite scary to think something like that could happen.

Take care,

Lost

Thanks, Lost. Things like that just remind me of how random stuff can be. Well, watching the show "9-1-1" lately probably doesn't help either.

I did end up using something that happened with two people in that show as an analogy today with Dr. T. Which involved going into a brief explanation of the backstory of the characters. The point was how things can have changed in a relationship, but it doesn't mean it's not worth continuing. Just because it will never be the same.

Oh, and maybe this is worthy of its own thread. But in talking about the therapeutic relationship, Dr. T said how it's complicated because it's not in the natural world. I tried to joke that it made it supernatural. He said it's more like in a laboratory setting, in a way.

I sometimes think about that with L. Am I just a research project for her? Trying out what she's learned, seeing what works, taking notes. She originally was going to do solely research before someone convinced her to work with clients.

"The point was how things can have changed in a relationship, but it doesn't mean it's not worth continuing. Just because it will never be the same."

That hit home for me.
