Monday
Took today off. Was supposed to go to the dentist. I no showed instead. I had an appointment at 1:30pm with my new psychologist. Made it to that appointment. It went well. I liked how she led the conversation with lots of questions…I can get so twisted up in telling my story sometimes. I go back next Tuesyda at 3:30. Number of sessions to expect – between 15 & 20. Oh how I want to be "better" at the end of those 20. It sounds like it will be very stuctured – not just talk therapy, but learning tools and given homework to do in between each. I do well with stucture.
I’m fighting off a cold today. So is Rob. My chest feels like there is a truck parked on it – I can’t get a full breath. I hope the Robitussin kicks in soon. I hate having a cold. If I’m going to get sick I’d rather be sick with something like the stomach flu. Weird I know but at least then I’d really be considered sick. I can’t miss work anymore for just a cold or headache, especially not for a mental health day. I have to be "really sick" to call in sick. My bosses words, not mine. I find her approach to my illness a little odd considering we have a program called Mental Health Promotion and Illness Prevention in our business unit. I guess if she’s fine with 8 hours of crying at my desk on "those" days then I’ll be just fine with them too.
Have to watch Jon & Kate tonight…looks like there’s trouble in paradise. I don;t know how I didn’t hear about this before – Perez Hilton blogged about it in early March not that I follow his blogs but when I googles today there was lots of info out there about Job cheating. I haven’t been watching much since they moved into their new house. I hate change.
Laundry and dishes now before Rob gets home and then grocery shopping. Boo I’d rather skip it and order in.
I know the feeling about “structure”. I hate to feel like I’m just wasting time listening to the therapist or worse still myself talking in circles. Hope it works out for you!!
