Ahead of myself

[deathpixie]

So, apparently my subconscious was a little anxious about the counselling thing, and insisted on making me think my appointment was this week, despite the fact it's in my calendar for next week. Which was actually the correct date, and not a mistake like I thought it was. *rolls eyes* So yeah, no counselling for me today. Always counselling next Wednesday. And after all that psyching myself up I've been doing today. Bah.

At least I know where it is now?

And! Andandand! By then you'll have had a better day and will hopefully not be flailing quite as much?

Though, to let you know? Going the first time is always hard. And if you're me, going every time after that is just as hard. And then a couple hours later, you're going to need a nap. But those hours inbetween the session being over and nap time are AWESOME.

The first time always makes me antsy. Think of it like an interview. You're interviewing the therapist as much as they're interviewing you. You want to make sure it's a good fit. They're there to provide you a service. You should get the best service you can.

Knowing where it is is good. I always try and find out exactly where it is, how to get there, and the nearest pastry/coffee shop. I use Mapquest to find one. I usually like something afterward. Some of the Second Cups sell these amazing chocolate tarts that are gooey in the middle. One of those and a large latte usually helps. So does a bathroom. (I have no idea why I always have to pee 5 minutes AFTER I get out of the building.) It's really nice to establish a pattern around the appointment and it never hurts to start early. Also, it's nice if you want to get there early to have a place to sit and read.

Well, at least that makes me feel better for realizing on my way to work that I had forgotten to send you an email wishing you well for it. This way I can remember next Wednesday, hopefully. :)
