Now the water kerfuffle I can understand. That's a conundrum. I suggest you all get unfired clay cups you can break after using (so as not to share germs) and recycle into new cups and melt snow to drink.

Perfect! If only we had caught the snow yesterday before it melted.

Why would I want to be hot, dirty and naked with strangers.

My nightmare.

I hate wind and dust and sand and have a low tolerance for strangers wanting to interact with me. Burning Man sounds like hell.

Also no indoor plumbing or climate control. Fuck that.

The plumbing would be a no-go, but I see the appeal of "I'll never see you people again, behold my unharnessed bitch and tremble!"

Yesterday I got yet another $170 bill from my (now former) psychiatrist's office for missed appointments. This is the third time I've gotten billed for appointments I never made. I was starting to feel like they were gaslighting me. Today I called and informed a very nice admin that I had in fact not seen this doctor since last summer, and she investigated and discovered that the doctor has been writing the wrong name on his files. So that's solved, and it's one more thing to add to the list of reasons I'm glad I dropped that doctor. What a useless pile of diplomas.

I've been seeing him for six years and he doesn't know my goddamed name? He thinks someone else is me?? Fuck.

I stopped therapy when my therapist FELL ASLEEP.

Ouch.

Wow to both of those.

I hate both your therapists on your behalfs. I have therapy today. I am proposing to go on mom strike, I hope she agrees. Cooking for OR cleaning up after Mac is my proposal. Doing both, in my mind, is creating a selfish hellish being. Taking care of 2 pets, my job, myself, and a medium size house is already too much. He is currently like an unpleasant smelly large pet.

Good luck with that, msbelle. That definitely sounds like way too much for you to do all on your own. He's gotta pitch in, however you can convince him.
