Tell him you're sorry he drove all that way, but you called to cancel and it's not your responsibility to make sure he answers his frigging phone. And then shut the door.
Thank you. I guess I still need to work on standing up for myself. I know he has a long drive to get here. So, I made sure to call 2 hours ahead of time. I didn't want to call earlier than that and risk waking him. I didn't sleep well last night worrying about ltc, and today my stomach is upset and I'm in a ton of pain. ltc, however, appears to be just fine.
It's 20 minutes past my appointment time, and he has not shown up. So, I'm going to assume he got the message, but he didn't call back to acknowledge it. Mom is still taking the baby out so that I can nap.
Sounds like that therapist causes more stress than he eases.
Does he work for a practice/organization - can you talk to them about his lateness and lack of communication or would that stress you out more?
I think I finally tried to go to bed around 3:00 am. I have no idea when I actually did. I've been awake...for not long. I don't want to do anything today but I haven't heard back from Hartford insurance so I need to call and find out if they got the paperwork (finally) and call a garage about my car. The thought of that puts me in the frozen state of anxiety where I just don't want to do anything.
Also need to start practicing good sleep hygiene. Which means I probably shouldn't be typing this on my chromebook while sitting in bed.

I try to stop using my iPad or laptop an hour before bed. It's hard to do!
I try really hard to always be off my computer by 10pm. I am on by 6 or 7 AM so enough already. I do use my Nook in bed but only for reading. No Internet! I had to draw a line even if it was a late one.
Love and ~ma to all. Been crazy busy. Too busy. Sucktastic week. One of the lowlights being my son smooshing his brand new car. Only like 1500 miles on it. So he is hating life. No injury. Just a car worth half if what it was when he rolled off the lot.
Oh no! That sucks, Laura. Poor kid.
Ugh Laura, that's a bummer
Yeah, we have all been there with the breaking of our new toy but it sucks to watch him go through it. He has been a really good driver. 5 years with only one minor thing. Now he gets creamed sitting at a light. Have to fight it too. Lady in big truck says he came out of nowhere when he was in front of her. Bother.
Laura, that really sucks. I'm sorry.
Askye, thanks. I'm trying to figure out if it would be less stressful to call the company and request a new therapist through them or call my insurance and look for someone totally new.
I dragged myself out today with Mom because the baby needs diapers (I ordered the wrong size from Amazon and had to send them back), but I'm still in a lot of pain.
Funny story from the pediatrician yesterday. The pediatrician looked at the blanket we had ltc wrapped in which is pink with white skulls and crossbones, and said to ltc "there are skulls on your baby blanket, is that for Halloween?" To which I replied for the baby, "no, that's just mommy's aesthetic." To say she looked confused would be an understatement.
