Therapy Thursday

Thursdays have become the day where I work for several hours, then leave to go to therapy.  I’m not ashamed to admit that I go to therapy.  I’ve been going to therapy since this year started and it’s been very helpful for me on a personal level.  Talking to somebody who is not biased and has to listen is a liberating feeling.  I talk to my siblings every once in a while and it is good.  It’s always good to talk to one’s siblings, if you have any.  I have five, but sometimes, you need to talk to somebody who doesn’t know you as well as they do.  Who doesn’t know all your secrets.  I can tell her my secrets and tell her my reasoning behind every secret, and everything else I’ve done and thought.

She’s such a nice woman and she’s been so kind to me.  During our short time together, she has pointed out changes in me that I knew had not been there before.  She has seen me grow in such a short span of time; since January.  She has seen me through many ups and downs and she has been a rock I can lean on.

I am so grateful for my therapist.  I can thank my brother for introducing her to me.  My mental state has improved greatly since I started and I would only leave her because my health insurance ended.  I will be sad when I do leave her.  She has become a friend to me and I would not have improved if I hadn’t had a person telling me to improve without yelling at me or being ultra critical.  What a relief!

And on that note, it’s been real!

The Game of People

Alright, if the title is anything to go by, yes, I watch Game of Thrones.  Me… and the rest of the world.  Certain aspects of the characters intrigue me, and I’ve noticed that I behave similarly, depending on the situation at hand.  Now, one thing you, the reader, must remember is my golden rule: I cannot stand stupid people.  I hate dealing with stupid people at my doctor’s office and at the restaurant.  These are the type of people who put square pegs into round holes, and get mad at me when they don’t fit.  It’s equal parts funny and infuriating.

At the dentist, people miss appointments pretty much every day.  Hey!  Shit happens!  I understand.  What I don’t understand is when they don’t call and tell me that they aren’t coming, and then they get mad when I charge them according to our office policy.

“But I didn’t get a reminder call from you!”

“Ma’am/sir, I called you myself, twice.”

-cue the crickets-

“But I didn’t get a reminder call!”

Square peg… round hole.  I’m laughing on the inside.

At the restaurant, it is slightly different.  I once had a couple walk in and the young lady said, “Table for two, but we’ll be having two more.”

“So you’re a table of four.”

A pause so long, you could have walked the length of London Bridge.

“Yeah.”

Okay, step back, child, before you hurt yourself.

Pretty much that picture in a nutshell.  If you’ve watched Game of Thrones, which character does that remind you of more…?

And on that note, it’s been real!
