This morning I had group from 9-12. I didn’t know what to expect for the day and was surprised to see a new woman I hadn’t seen before. A few times here and there, mostly when I am talking to people at work, I have recommended the Thrive group to people. I feel like I’ve had an energy shift there where I’m kind of just over overthinking it and instead am going ahead and being myself even more.

I do have it lined up to go back to Memorial, whenever the paperwork processes through. It potentially could take until the end of the summer term, which in that case I would still be glad because then it could still be all ready for the fall. The new woman who came today is now one of my clients. She’s unemployed and has no insurance. He told her she could come and do therapy for no charge.

So I appreciated that. I don’t know how I’m ever going to make money off this because I just can’t seem to bear the thought of charging people to help them. But it was nice to get a new client and to see his confidence in pairing us. It feels like I’m hardly putting in any hours but I’m still somehow pretty close to on track. I’ve wondered, “Would I do it this slow way again?” I have no answer, I do not know.

The week was long with many camp things. My sister is back in town with some nieces along with my cousin’s wife and her daughter. My brother and other sister are visiting as well and another sister comes down tomorrow for Laura’s shower on Sunday. The days keep ticking by. Later this afternoon we went down to the lake and swam just in time for a mild thunderstorm. They all swam in the rain.

And I think they had fun. My dad had a brief return to the hospital when he broke out in a rash and they didn’t know why. They admitted him to rule out any surgery related infections or causes. His heart function was great and the blood cultures clear. For supper we had hamburgers, french fries, and watermelon. I’m pretty spent for the day but it was a nice and full one. It’s good to have them.
