I am bummed. I had an appointment and got a call this morning that she is out sick. I am on her cancellation list, but my next appointment is not for two weeks, and I REALLY could have used this appointment today. I know, of course, that it's not like she got sick on purpose so that I would not be able to have an appointment today, but I was pretty upset when I got the call.
My H is becoming a master manipulator, and I am having to do a lot of reminding myself that is what he is doing because some of the stuff he is saying is in danger of making me feel bad (which is, of course, just what he wants). We are generally doing a good job of steering clear of each other, but last night he cornered me for a heart-to-heart (and it was my birthday, so his timing was less than ideal, especially because his birthday card also included a three-page handwritten letter lamenting the demise of our marriage). So that was a not-so-great end to what was actually a really good day. I will be signing a lease on my new apartment on for June 1, so I only have another month to live through this, but it seems like such a long time off one days like this!
Anyway, no point to this, just venting a little bit about the cancellation of my appointment. It's not like I am in extreme crisis, so I will certainly be fine until I see her again, but it was such a letdown.
Re: Blah. My therapist was sick today.
Oh, I know that, definitely. I am a nurse, and I have to be practically at death's door to call out of work because I know that I can leave my unit in a bad position if I don't make it in. I have had appointments with her before when she was under the weather and made it into work anyway, so I am sure that she was truly unable to make it in. I just wish she were not quite so popular, I suppose, so it would be easier to reschedule, but I guess that is what happens when your therapist is amazing!
Thanks for the input, though!
