Support

We all needed support Monday night. We needed the kind of support that you only get from true friends who care about you. It could easily have turned into a pity party or bitch session. There is a time and place for that, and it would have been fine. But, as it turns out, we just laughed and had a great time enjoying each other’s company and talking about things that really matter. It was a moving on from the bullshit of our shitty day.

Casey made the observation that things started to turn around when Michael showed up on campus. I was surprised and glad to see him. He is a good friend to many of my good friends and he is a fun person to hang around, though I didn’t feel that way when he was teaching here. I agree with Casey, though. It was definitely a pick up to the afternoon.

Yesterday, I fixed the problems from Monday, and though my test didn’t go as well as I had hoped, it made me feel better. Casey and I spent the evening together, and watched Almost Famous, which is a great film.

This morning, I went to therapy as I do every Wednesday, and I think I’m making slow progress. Therapy is difficult, and Nikki says I have a lot of defense mechanisms that are holding me back.

Enough of that. I’m sitting here eating Sno-Caps, and thinking about the things I have on my agenda for today. I have a lot to do. Time to check my calender. After dinner is Casey time, but until then, I need to get to work.

I need to do my self-impowerment stuff before I start, so I’m going to stop writing for now.

Current Mood: motivated

Current Music: none, for once
