Carrot sticks, raw string beans and popcorn for dinner. If I still worked at the diner this would have been a night where I'd bring home soup and rolls for us. Tomorrow I'll get back on the proper dinner bandwagon.
HDVixen - I'm not that sensitive, you don't ever have to delete your comments. Thank you for saying what you did, it's a good point to think about. I don't get free shrinkage anymore since I'm off probation. I'm not really against going back.

You worked a long time with Craig, sorted out a whole mess of things and gained many skills, and you really "graduated" from long-term shrinkage with him. Now, you have a much better handle on your life.
Because you now know how a competent counselor can help, you are able to identify certain issues as they arise as ones for which a consultation would be useful. It's good to have a therapist "in your back pocket" for just these circumstances, so you can meet for a session or three for a specific need.
You no longer qualify for free shrinkage under the program that first put you with Craig, perhaps because of not being on probation, because of aging out, but really because you don't need to be under that program any more, there's no reason for you to be on probation, you did a good job working on the issues you were meant to address under that program. If you decide you want it for other needs, you probably can get free or low-cost shrinkage under your Medicaid or whatever health coverage it is that you have.
My suggestion: Call Craig, let him know you are doing well but could benefit from short-term counseling on occasion around specific issues, and ask him whether you could do this with him either using your insurance or by paying a reduced fee out-of-pocket.
Dear Sam, thanks for the kind words.
Sometimes I feel like a whinger for complaining about caring for my aging mom and what my circumstances are now after several years of reading your posts.
I admire your strength and have felt an empathy for losses and subsequent experiences.
So, often I feel like a weak sister sissy lala with my comments.
Glad to hear it's all good.
I think it's accurate to say that I and many of the others who read your blog, view you as "ours" and want all successes to be yours
(all three of you).
P.S.
Kudos to anonymous for their spot on comments.
