Intention was to get to bed earlier last night– the Reality was it ended up being around the normal time, so I didn’t get any extra “summer sleep” because I wake about the same time.  I had beaten my alarm clock by a half hour, though, so that was nice.  Drip coffee is magical to me – as long as it’s my special brand – and so it has become somewhat of an obsession for me to find a way to operate my little 5 cup coffee maker when I’m in Lizzie(at music fests).  Had I known that I could hook her up at Hipnic, I would have brought the coffee maker.  There is no way the inverter would work – it must be less than 200 watts and the coffee maker is 900.  Why do I mention this here?  Because mornings are for coffee….duhhhh.

 

My supervision began at 9 and I was lucky – getting two full hours this morning.  I did strike gold when I got my supervisor.  My *plan* is to bring her to Switzerland with me and we will set up the next Küsnacht-type clinic.  I’ll have to run that by her tomorrow during group supervision.

For the first time since January, really, when I was brought into this agency, I felt like I had some time to actually sit and work on things, rather than leaving to go to class or work or,or,or.  I brought my “Every little thing is gonna be alright” coffee mug, since I suspect it was this mug, full of coffee, that sprained my hand bones (these are the bones on the “top” of your hand).  I also brought some water.  Now this may sound strange, but it is blessed water – though not religiously so.  It is blessed by the light of the moon in May near San Luis Obispo.  I’m not in tuned (anymore) about what was going on with Luna as these waters were captured and bottled, but I love these things.  Seems that Bartlett is a bit of a hippie. 

A DBT group, then work, then a client, then finished.  I was going to stay and write up my notes after, but I’ll be there again tomorrow, so I left when my supervisor did.  My plan was this – walk the dogs (before they plot to kill me) and get more eye drops (I looked everywhere today and can’t find them).  It was a nice walk…my pups are quite good at heeling considering the lack of walks we do.  Sadly, I had a brilliant food idea when walking – go get sushi.  This really isn’t my fault – it’s because of Brian Duby and his sushi invitation while I was at Calpine.  Had he never mentioned it, there is a good chance I would have gotten nachos instead (let’s be honest).

As I drove to pick up said sushi – I took a deep breath of the warm summer air and was conscious of the fact that I was finally driving 40 mph after so many weeks of 70 mph and I enjoyed it.  Yes, even driving 40 in Lizzie, I still had to get to the fest, then I had to get home so I could dot dot dot….  Living at 40 mph truly is a state-of-mind and one I intend to work towards.  I realized this morning, after seeing a brilliant Facebook example, that I am a Type B person living a Type A life and that isn’t working.  I need to incorporate more B and less A.  You’ve been warned.
