We had a counseling appointment today and it doesn't seem to have gone well. Actually, I went home instead of work afterwards thinking to try to apologize for the many things I have done wrong but that didn't work out and I was bascially sent back to work. I'm just feeling ugh about the whole thing right now.

Oh, {{{Gud}}}. I'm so sorry.

Betsy, was there a story with those images? I'm boggled by the whole idea.

I want to try a white tea.

This is the very bestest, but I keep forgetting to drink mine because it has too much caffeine for evening (because I'm a wuss, not because it really has too much caffeine), but not enough for mornings when I'm desperate.

Ima go watch Firefly now.

I've found this cures a variety of ills and is generally an all-around good idea, but I'm a teensy-weensy bit fanatical.

{{{Gud}}}

I'm watching Firefly right now when I use the treadmill in the early morning. Only a couple of episodes away from the ones I haven't seen yet.

Gud, has it ever been addressed in your counseling the things you do right? If that's too nosy, tell me to piss off.

ita I skipped and skimmed to write this, so I don't know if anyone's brought it up, but...

Dude, medical confidentiality? I mean, isn't there a fucking PRIVACY clause? Isn't this like a major breach?

I forgot to add that you should so HIPAA that PT, ita. Or, I suppose I shouldn't use the word should with someone who can break me with her pinkie, but you get the idea. HIPAA is such a pain in so many ways, you should at least be able to benefit from one of the few, um, benefits.

Sort of. It's not too nosy, but I'm just about to bail from work so I'm not going to be here wrong. I've been instructed to not get defensive so I just sort of take it without defense. It is true, that it's what she feels that's important, not details and I have screwed up a lot. Not really on purpose, but more from not knowing what exactly to do.

here long, not wrong

Stills from the long-suppressed Disney film "The Story of Menstruation":

Holy Crud! I think that's the movie we saw in 6th grade (circa 1968) If I recall, the boys weren't allowed to see it and all the girls were given Kotex boxes that we were supposed to discreetly place in our desks. We were also admonished not to open our desks needlessly that day... so of course we all had to open them several times more than necessary. I will have to ask my brother what film the boys saw that day.

Oh Gud, I'm so sorry

Aimee, don't get the Bitty Baby for her, wait until she's older and get her a regular American Girl doll. Or Coconut and Licorice. I can say we got our money's worth out of my daughter's Kit doll and alllll the stuff we got for her. She still "plays" with Coconut and Licorice even though she's 14. I think she still changes Kit's clothes every once in a while. But if you can't wait, there's going to be a new American Girl store at the Grove in April so at least you won't have to pay shipping.

EtA: ita, I agree with everyone. I know that your PT thinks he's protecting you, he stepped way over the line in contacting the krav center. I say a little reminder of HIPPA wouldn't hurt.
