So there's this mental health (?) exercise I'd never heard of before today called "Rose, Bud, Thorn". The idea is that the thorn is something that fucks you up a little, the rose something positive, and the bud something that you're looking forward to. It's a nice exercise, and Ima stick it in my back pocket, for sure. But bestie, I had a hard time coming up with something for any of it.
The Children on my soon-to-be-caseload have talked about the Titanic at least three times these past two weeks. What does it portend? Watch out for icebergs! ...I guess!
It's S's 90 days celebration today, so we're going to go over after the meeting to do a firepit with friends. I will have to skate around 8:30 because I got shit to do tomorrow, etc. but I'm sure it will be nice.
My parents have started getting a little feistier than usual this week; I don't think my mom really wants to be in charge of pickup/dropoff for summer school. She was asking who does the cooking at my house recently. Idk, P. Nobody? She asked "Whatever happened to family dinner?" and that's a fair question (it was something I was complaining about at one point), but it just...doesn't matter right now.
If it's between making a family dinner generating extra dishes thus adding another coordination element, and everyone being fed as well as completing homework with L and my own homework...I just don't know. The choice seems obvious. Besides, if S is going to meetings at night it doesn't make all that much sense to coordinate a different dinner time for several different nights of the week. I don't know. I just don't want to, I guess? Maybe that's all that matters.
I got coffee with K this past weekend at the close-by coffee shop which was nice...except for that she seemingly summoned her estranged mother to the coffee shop by the mere mention of her in the coordination texts. Woof was that awkward. What is the playbook for that? I wish I'd kept my copy of Emily Post. I'm pretty sure she would know exactly what to do. And...what? Carry it around with me just in case? Why - yes! We retreated to her house to finish the visit. It was good to catch up and that's all I do, honestly. Just catch up. Like this:
