I don't usually post about my good days, just my really bad ones. Why? Maybe I think I will jinx myself. Or maybe I think if I admit I had a good day that it somehow means I can't have a bad day in the future. But today I say BS to that kind of thinking. I want to allow myself to claim this good day as mine and not worry about what may come tomorrow.

For my session today my T treated me to breakfast. It is certainly not a typical event, but she did it to celebrate my birthday last week, which she had forgotten. It was somewhat uncomfortable to eat in front of T because she is SO thin (and I am not anymore). Also, she has all these dietary restrictions she places on herself, like not eating carbs because supposedly she's trying to prevent herself from dying from a heart attack like her mother did. Well, I don't really care about heart attacks right now, so I'm ok with eating things with flour in them! But at any rate, it was still pleasant to be with her in a public place and talk about normal things like which movies are playing in the theaters that are worth seeing.

Lately I have been having a hard time dealing on weekends, and I sent T some crazy messages over the past several days while I was trying to cope without her. But even though I felt chagrined this morning at what I had texted her, T was ready to greet me with a smile anyway. Sometimes I am so amazed that she hasn't terminated me for my wild mood swings. I do try hard sometimes to push her to do just that, but she refuses to take the bait. And that is comforting.

I guess I don't really need any support this time. I just wanted to share.

Hello Cipher. I'm really glad you had a nice day with your T. Having a birthday treat like that sounds wonderful. And I like your attitude where you're not giving in to the sense of jinxing yourself by talking about the good things or feeling like saying that something is good somehow means you can't talk about future bad (I'm mentioning that because it's exactly how I feel - tempting fate and all that...)

So good on you for sharing about something good Smiler

Aw, thanks guys for sharing my good day with me. I recognize that not all who read here had a good day themselves, and it takes a lot to be happy for someone else when you are hurting bad inside. But that makes it more special to me to have associations with you here, knowing that we can share each others joys and sorrows alike.
