I called the therapist back, and she is going to see me at 2:00 today! Shit I'm nervous. Someone say something calming. When I first called her the number turned out to be her cell phone and she was out of her office, so she asked me to call her back. This does not put me at ease because I have had trouble with therapists in the past who didn't have office managers to make their appointments; as in I would show up for a scheduled appointment and they would look at me like, "why are you here?"

I also agreed to babysit at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning, which I think means rolling out of bed at 4:30.

Our wings are not tired.

Om Om Om Ok, that was supposed to be calming. sj, you are doing what you need to do and headed in the right direction. May 2:00 come quickly and provide some help.

The 6am thing I have no helpful words for, except I will surely be awake too. Not at 4:30 I hope, but 6, yeah.

That's great, sj! Good luck to you. And good for you for pushing through to get the appointment.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well done, sj!!

sj, you may have all of my calm, because I am seriously about to call up my roommate at work and yell at her that she can fuck her training run, she needs to come back home tonight before going to the airport, because I am NOT cleaning up all her shit before the maid gets here tomorrow.

Seriously, she's normally a mess, but apparently this morning she accidentally broke a lightbulb all over the floor, and stopped to at least sort of clean that up (?) but thereby was all sadface that she missed her bus (there's seriously another one 10 minutes later) and therefore "didn't have time" to clean out her cat's box. The one that had diarrhea yesterday. That she was all not having time to clean yesterday morning (but last night spent two hours watching a movie?) GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Thanks everyone. I have made a quick list of issues I want to discuss, and made a list of all my appointments so I don't overbook. Must.calm.down.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ah, quester, I am so right there with you. I find it helps to take out the cash I have for the week and then not carry a credit or debit card. But if what you make isn't covering your expenses, that doesn't really help. I wish I had something to offer besides empathy.

~ma, sj. FWIW, I had a therapist for years who had no office assistant, and it was fine.

Calm, calm, sj. You're going to be fine. Good job on the prep work.

Have you tried the Dave Ramsey stuff, quester?
