Thanks everyone; I don't know if there is more to say. The hostile lady tends to intimidate lots of people. This is why I hate to just walk away. The one person who I thought was a good friend just got back from a two month dig in Belize, and we used to email each other every night. She has had some horrible experiences with bugs and may have chagus disease. She was afraid too that she got bit by the bot fly. Anyway, I was doing my best to be supportive, etc. So when the chips were down for me, I guess I thought she would be there for me. She wrote me that she can't be there for me emotionally. She can only give opinions. So, I said I didn't see how that really made us friends, a one sided thing. So just like that I guess our friendship ends. My husband knows her and said he thinks she is truely narcissistic and wrapped up in herself and can only have superficial relationships with others. I am afraid he is correct.
So a couple of other friends, though, are asking me to go to a Native American ceremony in a few weeks, and I intend to go--at Indiana Dunes. Should be interesting--had some Native American friends in Kansas and love the philosophy. I have to bring two dishes to share, one that is a favorite of mine and one that is a favorite of my ancestors. Neat. Plus I have to bring a shawl for the dancing.
See therapist tomorrow, and I need to print out my journaling so I can read for the past week while I am on the train. It helps to refresh my memory. Guess the ol memory is not completely there yet. Job situation is either in hiatus or over. I may never be told. I am still looking for another job, but I won't take just anything. So, Llurpsie I know how you feel. On the otherhand, don't let thinking you will disappoint professors get in the way of doing something. I worried about that when I left training and then working at Menninger's. I thought they would think I did not go somewhere up to their caliber. Funny thing. People I know there are facinated with what I am doing. You just never know.
I know there was some stuff I wrote here that seemed to be things I should bring to therapy, but now I don't remember. I will have to go back and look at posts. Night everyone.
