"We'll always be together, together in electric dreams."

For the first time ever, the other day my therapist was so tired she gave me the wrong day for our appointment, and I found out only when I got there. The worst part wasn't the useless trip, as it was a pleasant walk, and I even got a little bit of tan on my arms, but the fact that she feels so guilty about it she's just spent the last two days apologizing to me! Plus yesterday there was some kind of huge emergency at the clinic, and we had to cut our session super short. Today I'm finally getting my whole hour, yessss. And I'm also going to start using sunscreen: the first couple of days of summer heat it's when I get my healthy tan, for vitamin D purposes, and the rest of the summer I always wear sunscreen walking around Venice, otherwise I'd end up as a burnt burrito in no time at all. My dermatologist once told me I have the skin of a redheaded person, and have to act accordingly. Ever since I've started carrying sunscreen around, I've stopped getting awful burns. ^^

In fandom news, yesterday we had a wonderful announcement, as Matthew Vaughn confirmed he's working on the Kingsman sequel! The movie was a commercial success and all, so a sequel was to be expected, but it's so wonderful to have a confirmation! And we're going to meet Kingsman agents from across the pond too, I can't wait. :D

And they just released the third season of Orange Is The New Black on Netflix: watch how I say I'm going to savour it, without rushing it, and then binge watch it all in one night. I'm so predictable. And I still remember how mad I was at myself last year when I watched it all in two days and then complained I had to wait a whole year for new episodes! I never learn. ^^"

Only a few days left until the Square Enix conference at E3: there's going to be Kingdom Hearts news, and I'm so excited I'm doing a happy dance just thinking about it. *______*

And now lunch, therapy, and then I'm going to buy all the ingredients to make Gazpacho, and properly celebrate the summer. ^^

I remember once someone asked me what would happen if my therapist wasn't feeling a 100%, or was upset over something, or was having a really bad day, or was very stressed out...add a similar scenario of choice. I thought about it for a bit and replied, truthfully, "I guess he just won't be in top form during our session." I went on to say that it actually meant more trust between us for me. If over the course of a relationship that covers many years the other party never 'powers down', for whatever reason, it would make me really anxious, for I would never be able to relate. I'd actually like to think my therapist isn't always performing at 100%. (I'm sure he isn't.) It's not just about him being human, it's about us both being human and therefore equal.:)

(Using my teamwork icon because that's what therapy is, isn't it?:))

Considering all my trust issues with therapy over my teen years, we have this deal with my therapist where from time to time she would tell me something personal, an anedocte, a fear, to help me feel more at ease with my trust. This time it wasn't really planned, surely, but it still worked. Seeing her tired and angry at something that she couldn't control makes her more human, and makes me feel safer.

Your therapist must be a wonderful person. Look how far you've come since starting having sessions with her! Of course, she's a human being too, and therefore there's bound to be some days when she's not feeling 100% (like all of us), or days during which bad things happen that she can't control. All this makes her more human and closer to our eyes, therefore I think that from time to time it's therapeutic to see her in this sort of situations.

Hope you're having a nice weekend. I've been wanting to call you for some time, but it's hard to find the right moment. Tell me when you're free and want to have a chat, so maybe we can talk in the next few days, okay? *big hugs*
