(((Trip, Nikki, Morgan))) Morgan--I agree--the whole thing is tiring and boring to me, I can just imagine how others feel. I wear myself out. But, now that I am back at work, there is more to talk about, and more to focus on, too.
I am hopeful about my friend, but she also needs her time and space. Why is it that I can recognize and honor that need in everyone other than my H? I think I can hear OT whispering <<<enmeshment>>>....
But that is fading, as well. I am scared of the breaking away, but it is happening whether I want it to or not. Again, not something that seems to be under my control, and I will just have to trust all here and home that it is not something to be so scared of. But I am; scared, and sad, and lonely. Not all of the time, but when I get quiet, the absence is there. I will throw everything that I can into that hole (GAL, friends, books, kids, puppy, work, music, dance, art, etc.), but even IC recognizes that it is not the same, and will not completely satisfy that torn feeling.
So, things go on. It has been a Godsend to have this student teacher. She is really very good, even with her thinking that she would rather work with high school students. She taught her first self-designed lesson today and I video-taped her so she can review it this weekend. To top it off, she is just geniunely nice.
All of the people who work in this building are. I am glad to have more days here, as I think I can build better friendships and working collaborations. So, off to finish the day. Thanks, friends, for checking in,
