Question about a Transitional Object.

Soooooooooooooooooo.... T is back and I am seeing her in less than 24 hours. Then she will be gone again.
She sent home a crystal with me (that means a lot to her) and I am also bringing in a big ole poster i've been working on... and of course there's Benedict.
So, the question is, do I bring back the transitional opjects? Or do I assume she will just send them with me again? I don't want to transport the crystal more than i need to - I am afraid of it breaking. It was brought to her from Latin America and is very special to her.
Any suggestions? I guess i could tell her i was concerned about transporting it and left it at home so i could navigate the poster and if she would prefer it back, then I can bring it the next day when I am there again.
I guess i answered my own question.... unless others have experience with this sort of thing?
thanks, kiya

Anyone? Any one? Bueller?

I dunno, I know T lets me borrow her books to hold onto whilsts shes away if I want too, but I know I am to bring them back....other then that I dont know.

I really think your T will let you hang on to them until all of these breaks are over. I'm sure she's looking forward to seeing YOU at your appointment, not wondering "when is my stuff coming back?!" lol

She can't have Bene back, anyhow, ever. Because I say so!!!

I hope you have a good appointment!

"She can't have Bene back, anyhow, ever. Because I say so!!!"

AMEN to that!

(((((((((((((Earthmama, Mouse))))))))))))))))))

Little too late now, but if she wants Bene back, there's gonna need to be some joint-custody paperwork done. He didn't even have a name before you sunk your l'il teeth in =)

Indeed!!! Nor would he still had a name had you not "Christined" him Benedict! Or shall we say "Aardvarked him". Bad joke.. but that's life. Bene and I will see her tonight. And I still have that crystal I am thinking about how to safely transport - or if I should.
Kiya ad Bene (who did go with me to depression yoga today)

This is a tough one - do you tell her how much of a friend he's been, and thereby remind her that you have him? Or do you just keep him in your bag, hoping she won't bring him up?

I never had a transitional object from T but I think earthmama is dead on. T is anxious to see you, not the objects. When you get there, just tell her that you didn't want to carry the crystal around, lest it get damaged or lost!

And Benedict, well, I think you got full custody didn't you?

xoxoxoxo

LOL (((((((((Pusedo, Miss))))))))))
i HOPE i have full custody of Bene. Pseudo - i think i will tell her what a terrific comfort he's been to me and how he helped me with panic attacks at every appointment (make him a legend).
Yes, Miss - that was what I was toying with in the back of my mind, too, on that crystal.

Kiya,
LOL! Ask your T upfront which ones you are allowed to keep. Tell her that you have a lawyer standing by just in case she wants Benedict back, LOL. She probably will want the crystals back, but that is a good thing. The crystals can go back to her and absorb her powers so when she has to go again, you can you can get the crystals back reenergized. Just a warning here, make sure you have a good custody lawyer! I really don't even have visitation rights. Yes, I see T once a week, but Heir Hippo is buried under other animals. The representative hippo stickers are buried under throw-up. Fight tooth and nail (LOL) for Benedict and, if need be, take him home and refuse to release him. You gotta do what you gotta do. May the force be with you.

LOL Ahhhhhhhh yeah, I think it is safe to tell t that the entire PC community (those who know Bene and I) all have custody lawyers on stand-by just in case!

T is only here this week and gone again, soooooo I have just the one time.

"Crystal??!? Oh THAT crystal.... yeah! ... Uhhhhhh..... But I don't no nuttin about no armadillo!"

Which is true. He's an Aardvark

He's an imposter! An aardvard masquarading as an armadillo!

I did take the crystal after alllllllllll that. I tried to get myself to leave it.... but i felt terribly guilty. I had it in my pocket. Then put it in my purse.... then TOTALLY forgot about it!! So it is back on my alter =)

Of course T was immensly pleased to hear about Benedict and he is still with me. =) =)
