Yum, lobster! I had some yesterday. Have fun JLB. It's cold here but warmer than yesterday. Will be high 30's today. I have a bunch of running around to do today and the rest of the week is jam packed with company and family.

You did! Loster roll? Lazy lobster? Lobster mac & cheese? Go on....
Spending the day with my mom today. We are heading to the city for a day of Christmas shopping. Should be fun and I'm sure there will be lots of giggling. Glad my dad has appointments today, he doesn't quite see the humor in our antics...

Glad everyone is where they are safe, enjoying the day, or just getting through it.
Shortest day and longest night of the year.

A client just dropped off 2 tiny mincemeat pies. They are cute but I don't like mincemeat pies. Everyone is groaning why am I getting all the gifts. LOL

I am so freaking happy with all the projects DS and I did around the house today (mostly DS). Best Christmas present ever although he doesn't consider it a present.

Awe, jlbear, have fun!
I made an unexpected trip to Omaha this morning. Yay me...
Return trip tomorrow with little man.
Hope DS gets his car fixed in time to come home Christmas Day. Darn radiator:(
Why does everything go wrong at the same time?!?!

Holy crap. Running around all day figuring out Christmas Hamper conundrums and trying to figure out which pair of boots would best fit my clients and making multiple runs to the basement has tired me out! I think I am going to convince my client at 4pm to just take her hamper and go home. Convince her that we don't have enough time to go to the playroom....
I had my first decent day at work today. Someone before me really did a number on a client's auto policies. Duplicating some vehicles & not insuring another. I spent most of the day untangling the mess. It is what I am good at & it made me feel useful. Also since I worked closely with the client I think I will be their contact from now on. Which is good to get to know the new clients. I hope this continues.
I was right. Good thing dad isn't with us. We just giggled for a solid 5 minutes because my mother just smacked me with a bag of jelly beans. Which, FYI, hurts more than one would expect.

Hmm Jelly beans hurt? That is a sad use of jelly beans.

Oh wow! That is a tough profession. Hats off to you- I cannot imagine, I know you know it, but try not to take it home with you. I' sure there are more times than not that you ache at the end of the day but I hope your successes make you soar.

I agree and I'm also impressed. Be proud my friend:)

Yup. Can be heartbreaking. It's dampened a little because I don't get a lot of background and I don't let the clients tell me their stories. Repeating stories (specifically) can deeper ingrain them into the brain and make it harder to recover. I help the clients focus on how their histories are affecting their present and help them be stronger and tolerate the world better than before. These clients (mostly girls, but also some boys) have had their worlds be impossible and evil from the day they were born.
My heart always aches for them, but what a joy to see them smile. I always think 'it's so nice to see the broken ones smile'. Even if it is just for a moment because I told a stupid joke.

What a fantastic strategy. Perfect actually.

Oh if only I could get my sis ro come see you. She has been seeing the same therapist for the past 20 years and in my uneducated opinion, she has gotten worse, not better. Playing the victim is her profession and specialty.
