Smoking, swearing, and a return to the internet. Well, while your willpower remains at an ebb, allow me to offer myself in...whatever capacity or state of undress you might need.

Yes, I'm in fine form. *a small sigh*

Ahh, Alan, it isn't a question of willpower, you know.

As always.

No? Please don't tell me it's a question of principle.

I'd hoped Peter had been paying regular visits, so as not to leave you entirely bereft.

What, then?

Oh, it's not his fault. I've just been busy.

...let's say performance anxiety and leave it at that.

Evidently.

Does your therapist have a term for it? Very well.

On the plus side, I've figured out..... correction, my family has figured out where our father will be staying once he's out of the hospital.

She has several. Thank you.

Well, that's one less thing to worry about. Knowing full well it's not any of my business, may I ask where?

Ah, therapists. They have euphemisms for their euphemisms. Think nothing of it.

One of my nephews will be moving out of my brother's place and into my father's apartment-- freeing up his room at said brother's place. It works.

Mind, they didn't tell me about this until after I'd made arrangements to free up room at my place.

Yet, oddly, the bill is always so straightforward.

Arrangements? What, did you knock down a wall? Evict the cats?

I suppose they assume your pocketbook isn't as fragile as your psyche.

Ha! If anything it's more so. Bad therapists, no cookies.

*a sigh*

I talked with her father about her going back with him during the week as well as during the weekends. He said that was fine.

...she also said that was fine. After overhearing me tell my brothers about it.

[ha, we'll see about that] alan_shore April 13 2009, 19:29:04 UTC
You didn't think to ask her.

Have you thought to apologize?

Given how damn much she talks about wanting to live with her father anyway--

*stops herself and sighs again* ....no. I didn't think to ask her.

Mmm. On the contrary, I said things that made it worse. At the moment she's not talking to me.

What else is new.
