Now, onto what I want to talk about now. Individual therapy should be private and confidential, no? Meaning, when I see Dr. K, it's just her and me in the room. Two people. That's it. Or that's how it's supposed to be...
Not last week though. I was seeing Dr. K for the first time since the Christmas St. Lucia disaster so I was explaining to her what happened when all of a sudden I caught sight of something bolting from behind Dr. K's chair in into the corner. It was really unexpected and really fast, so I wasn't quite sure what I saw but I did know two things:
1. It was mammal-ish and significant in size (we're not talking tiny bugs or anything here)
2. I knew it was not my imagination.
So I stopped mid sentence and told her what I saw and went to further investigate. I got back to the corner and discovered that it was a mammoth sized mouse with a really icky long tail. Now, Dr. K is usually very reserved and restrained, but when I told her it was definitely a mouse, she yelped and broke down and said, "I don't know if I can do this, Kara...." I almost laughed - this couldn't have been better if it was planned! To know a therapist's weakness is always a prize to be found, though often illusive. Now I don't know what I'm going to do now with this information, but I'm sure knowing that your therapist is mouse-a-phobic may come in handy one day.... maybe? maybe?
Thank goodness I was just talking about American Airlines being douchebags and not the inner workings of my mangled heart when the third party arrived - confidentiality was definitely breached. Red Alert!
Final Question: How the hezzel did a mouse get up to the 13th floor of an office building????
Stay tuned for a post about my sucktastic New Year's weekend, if anything else, it will boost your self-esteem.

I hope that your 2010 gets better, Kara. Hang in there!
Hey sweetie - I am so sorry I have been so absent :( And re: the facebook post, my account has been deleting stuff all the time, ever since I switched the privacy setting crap. So it wasn't you or anything I said, I promise :)
I hope things start to get better because you deserve it so much. Let's keep in touch - miss and love you. xoxo
Um, I love you?! Sorry it all sucks right now. Seems like we all thought "New Year, New start." January is not going so well for a lot of people, hang in there!
