Breaking up is hard to do
With your therapist, that is. I’m listening to the ‘Accidental Tourist’ per KB’s favorite books lists and find many parallels to my own situation. I’m in ‘Accidental Therapy’. I decided to see a career counselor and five sobbing sessions I’ve decided I don’t think having conversations out loud with my inner judge (i.e. a tapestry pillow) is helping. "Tell it to the pillow," I hear, and I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry, but since it’s therapy, guess which I choose. The only really honest thing I think I admitted to wanting to change is my loathable tendency towards the passive-aggressive. Which, is how I got out of making another appointment. I’ll be out of town, for a long time. I think it would take me years and a few drinks with this woman to open up. I don’t feel that is realistic.
I felt like I was eating at Long John Silver’s for lunch, but alas, it was my very own kitchen! I’ve come to love my garden harvest but also slightly worried at the amount of squash that is being produced. It’s gluttonous. After a few healthy meals, I made a pact with myself to take the health food away from the squash. Which is where www.allrecipes.com helped. "Summer Squash Puffs" yielded around 30 crunchy deep fried heart attacks. Very yummy! I love my big frying pan.
I’ve made a disaster of the kitchen, I’m trying to avoid the eyes of the hairballs that are taking over my floor and I just saw a flea on the framed picture of Lucy.

What you really ought to do is tell your inner judge to go fuck herself, eat lots of puffy fried squash goodness (saving some for me, of course), and use the hairballs in macaroni art.
Or that’s what I would do.

First, have I told you that I love you have that new picture; remember I told you how much I love that outfit! Okay, the thing about a therapist is that any successful relationship is founded on trust and mutual goals. The trust was destroyed from the gitgo when she misrepresented what she was offering you and 2) maybe she just wasn’t your type.
