Be thankful that your Thanksgiving does not involve a schizophrenic guido calling the cops because he thinks someone stole his cologne.
Yes, this was a sad Thanksgiving. For some reason I guess it's traditional to here to have the big meal at lunch instead of dinner? That is so lame. I didn't get to see my friends, I didn't get to see my family, this is all massive bullshit. I guess I am thankful that those people at least EXIST, but I'm feeling so alone it's like they barely do. Plus my parents, like I previously mentioned, are being entirely unhelpful and refuse to listen to anything I have to say. If I'm being negative, they are angry that I'm being ungrateful. If I'm being positive, they are angry that I am having unrealistic goals, or even just assume I am lying. So, yeah, no help at all. SO the whole Thanksgiving thing gets even more complicated in my head because it's like, yes, I want to see my family and I miss them, but on the other hand my family are being dicks and they left me here in this god-forsaken place on a fucking family holiday.
I know this isn't behavior becoming of a thankful woman but, yeah, I am pissed.
Oh, and what ultra-challenging therapeutic services did we have today? Nothing. Eating and going to the movies. We saw "Tangled". It was cute. Oh, and also it totally saved my life and cured my brain? Wait, no. No, it was pretty much a cute, pretty movie with the voice of Mandy Moore in it.
If it is any consolation, I was thinking about you on Thanksgiving. I really enjoyed the blog about the ART day. Is there a way you can make every day art therapy day? Or do they limit access to that room? Sorry about your lack of cable and scanner. Just save them up for the illustrated book you are going to write about this experience.
ReplyDeletewould you like i should send your camera cord? is it with your parents? or i could track down a new one, if you know what kind it was. i'd love to see your new photos, and bet everyone else would, too! or- do they/does someplace nearby have a printer that reads memory cards?
ReplyDeleteI think my parents are going to send the cord over, but it could take a little while. Maybe I can go to Kinko's before then?
ReplyDeleteAnd Heidi- the art therapist gave me my own set of ink and brushes and a pad, so I can work on it whenever I want.
