Long promised update at lunch
Because I'm working late tonight, I'm having lunch now.

So what happened was, we went to the therapist Monday night. I like her, she seems perceptive, caught on to things quickly, and asked some good probing questions. He agreed to commit to eight sessions. We'll see what happens after that.

But we left fighting because of something that he said just as we were leaving, that I'm going to have to do something about

Anyway, even aside from all this, life hasn't been too good. We lost another bird, my parakeet, Citrine. I miss her. She seems to have been sick somehow, but she didn't show any signs. I don't know what happened.

And work has been... uncomfortable because of the switchover to the new system that we've been going through. Typical that apparently everything was not fully tested, and the number of glitches that have been showing up is phenominal.

Yesterday on my free day I felt uncommunicative. Spent most of it in bed reading. Called mashfanficchik which was good, and went to my meeting of course. Step meeting, step seven, humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. It was overcoming my shortcomings to be able to even make the apointment to see the therapist.

Went on a walk with The Kid to find fireflies afterwards, but we only saw two. The rest were already asleep I guess.

Gratitude List:
