The first thing my therapist asked me was 'How is the kitten doing?' [View all]

I admit that made me smile.

He also told me I've been on his mind, a lot, wondering how I was reacting to the incoming cabinet. I told him I'm not really watching the news, but the little I've seen has proven my point about the disaster ahead of us.

Other than that, it was a smooth session. He said he can see a big change in my coping skills and said I made a good decision to host Christmas Eve dinner, even though I'm unenthusiastic about it.

I had two stops to make, afterwards. One to Aldi and one to the post office. As soon as I left Aldi, the icy precipitation, that wasn't supposed to arrive until after noon, started falling. Fortunately both places are very close to my house and I have nowhere else to go until after Christmas.
