nausicaa83This morning I had therapy. My therapist greeted me with a happy hug, sat down and asked me "what's new?". I braced myself, and answered "today's my sister's birthday". She freezed, got her pad out, two pens, checked that her phone was off, grabbed some candy from the desk and said "I'm ready". I couldn't help it and burst into laughter, and we had a fantastic session, with a few tears, and a lot of progress going. I love her expression when she points out the progress I've made, she always has this pinched look like she's trying very hard not to look smug or burst into a smile, it's really cute. :D
Towards the end of the session I told her about my Brilliant Day yesterday, and when I mentioned the movie her expression got very pensive, and I thought she was going for one of her hard questions, the ones where I have to think a lot before answering, and then she said "Star Trek? is that the one with the starships and the... pointy ears?". I must have had a baffled expression, because she went on "I think it was on tv years ago" "yeah, I was 11" "then I was 21, but I can't remember much, sorry..." "sorry?! Do you know what this means?? I get to tell you all about it! There are explorers, and they have starships, and they travel to meet new civilizations, and you should really take notes here, there'll be a test later".
I do love therapy. :D
Back home I was bit worse for wear. Not to mention it's the second day of my period, and a very cold day too, so I put on two layers of pajamas and hid under the blankets with Sakura, listening over and over again to Blitzen Trapper's Furr, my "hug in a cup" song. Just a few minutes ago the courier rang, with a package that wasn't due to arrive until next week. Sometimes the stars do align in magic ways, I guess.
The first time in fifteen years that gifts enter my house on this day. I could be so daring to call it 'progress'. ^^
Still, I am tired. And still bleeding. Cup of tea and a nap with the cat, definitely!
