Such a beautiful dream last night about my dad… the Austrian air
force (which exists, yet my dad frequently joked about them) were in their Black-hawk helicopter, which
they didn’t know how to fly, so they kept spinning in circles. A closet filled with my dad’s clothes had
been opened and someone had taken out all his clothes and spread them all over the
picnic table, which angered me because all the “smell” would be lost from his
clothes. I wanted to feel his strong
hugs and smell that scent of my father..that cologne you could only find in Europe. God, I miss him so much.
My back and body were hurting so damn bad that when the alarm
went off at 7, I reset it for 8, thinking I’d just go to the gym in the afternoon. It would seem I make my best decisions when I’m
“asleep.” At 8, I decided that another
23 minutes was best, but I somehow never made it back to sleep, so up and at ‘em.
Got dressed, and headed off to the gym. Spoke to Jake in the parking lot, then
Gabriella at the front desk inside. It wasn’t until I
stepped in front of a mirror that I saw I had protein powder all over my nose. A quick workout, covering everything I
learned the Monday except extension abs on the ball (I forgot), them home to
shower and off to work.
The terrific thing about this place is that…I have found my
work tribe. Group supervision was great –
a bunch of like-minded people. I feel I
am no longer an outsider, which has always been the case the case in the class
room. It is terrific to be where I
belong. As Jen and I were picking up
dinner, she told me such awesome things..about me as a therapist!! This is coming from one of the coolest
therapists I’ve ever known (ultimate compliment)!
Picked up the kids after group to bring them in for an
adjustment on their braces. Mags
assaulted me with multiple questions on if it hurt, what did I do, how long were
mine on, how was it when I had them taken off (mind you, this is adjustment #1). This little ball of sunshine was so excited
to have them put on and she’s already counting down. Then back
to work to write notes and go to group.
I may or may not have been convinced to escort a certain colleague who may have been mentioned previously, to a
specific eatery which may or may not serve heated corn with redundantly
cooked vegetables and dairy toppings, but I am not sure. I do know
that I read an article about losing weight through working out even your diet
isn’t changed and I have to say, my breakfasts are stellar. Girl texted in group about being invited to
go spend the night at my long-lost pseudo-daughter’s house, so during break, I
dropped her off.
Boy and I went to Home Depot after group and purchased security
cameras, which we installed. This place
is getting to be too much. I had better
luck when I lived in a really bad part of Ft. Worth. Guess all the search copters with lights kept
me safe.
