Napped most of the day; now I feel less sick but quite bored.

The BF offered to bring me soup but for some reason I don't really feel like hanging out with him. Not sure what's up with that.

Most Greeks would count that in his favour.

Got home from class and took a long depression nap. Ah. Now I'm still depressed, but refreshed.

Methinks an experimental break from PC is in order, to see if it helps me stop thinking about therapy/L every day (today is 6 weeks since I saw her last).

I'll be back in a week or so with my results...

That Heracles?

They definitely left those parts out of the Disney movie...

Today's session was a mess. I got overwhelmed with shame and then all the other aspects of my life came crashing into session. I didn't do a whole lot of talking. I won't see him until next Wednesday because he's out of office on Monday. He wrote me a letter though. I haven't read it yet.

Not at all. Nothing in excess was a Greek maxim.

Heracles is supposed to push the boundaries between barbarian and civilized man. The excess would have belonged to the barbarian side.

He was sent to do penance even though the children killing bit was done while suffering from Hera inflicted madness

Honoured more in the breach than in the observance.

This got me to thinking, speaking of barbarians - how did nobody in the house notice the maid and Schwarzenegger's giant baby? Tell me he wasnt a Baby Huey! I realize im asking this 20 years way too late.

Couch poll: You are waiting in your t's waiting area not looking at your phone because surely you can sit for 5 minutes without being busy, when a guy walks in, makes eye contact and says, "Hi, how are ya?"

Do you...
Do this:

Say hi back?
Silently curse yourself for not having your phone out to pretend you are occupied?
Pretend you are invisible? Or he is?
Other?

I smiled, then looked at his shoes. They were great shoes. He had great socks too, for that matter. He was rockin' the footwear.

Compliment him on his shoes.

I refused to use the woman's waiting room even though it was only her and another therapist who did not seem to have any clients. I would go in exactly one minute after time, and if her door was not open, I went back to my car and left

ElectricManatee · Mar 28, 2019 at 08:45 PM

Ugggghh. He broke the cardinal rule of therapy, which is no eye contact in the waiting room (AND DEFINITELY NO TALKING!), so you can say or do whatever you want. I probably would have said, "Fine, thanks," and pulled out my phone...

healed84 · Mar 28, 2019 at 09:00 PM

Waiting room etiquette.. ignore, ignore, ignore. I have no desire to interact with people in waiting area.

Girl after my own heart!

Of course, they are probably just curious about my outstanding hat!
