I always ask her "How are you?" when I first see her, usually as she's walking in the room behind me getting ready to sit down. Then she says, "I'm fine. And how are YOU?" which is my cue to be honest with her. Though usually I just say "I'm okay...." Then I give her a quick (or sometimes not-so-quick) run-down of the past few days, since I last saw her, and might delve more deeply into something that has been troubling me. Though time-before-last we had talked previously about my talking about some things that happened to me when I was a kid, so I started out (after the weekend recap) by saying, "So, you wanted me to tell you something about my dad..." and got her to explain further.
