November 9, 2005  1:06am Went to my second appointment with Sarah today.  I am happy to note I gave her a little room to get a word in edge-wise this time.  🙂 Tracey and I went to Wal-Mart and I got some new fish – hope I don’t kill these, but I’m making a better…

November 8, 2005  3:15am Up a little later tonight and my handwriting is obviously having some issues!  Got my car back today – FINALLY!  They wanted to keep it overnight and let one of their guys drive it home, but Trace pointed out that if he got into an accident, it would be on my…

November 7, 2005  2:26am I slept in a bit and went for a walk in the park.  I met this older lady that made me laugh.  She could walk faster than me and I caught up to her and she said she usually carries a golf wedge that would “make a real dent in a…

November 6, 2005  2:09am Not much to report today.  I woke up late (1:20pm to be exact).  I talked to Deidre for a while and went over to Barry and Kathryn’s place to see their new condo.  It was cool but more suited for an office as it’s one big room.  I came home and…

November 5, 2005  2:10am Seems like 2am is the defacto time to hang up my hat for the day and write in here.  Woke up at 9:45am to go get film developed for Alternate Light Sources assignment.  Got some cool shots of ASCII art on my monitor – portraits not that great – must work…

November 4, 2005  2:30am Ok, must try to summarize better because I am really tired!  Car still not fixed, we went to see Jarhead – I liked it because it was basically an emotional perspective on being a Marine rather than the typical military movie.  We went to Costco and then helped Laina jump-start her…

Wednesday, November 2, 2005  12:00pm (midnight) I started with a new therapist today at the New West/UBC Counselling Centre. Her name is Sarah (Lucas) and she’s 30, which is weird.  I don’t know how I feel about getting “advice” from someone younger than me, but I’ll give it a go.  It was her idea for…

November 1, 2005 (10:18pm) Here’s a letter I wrote to Victoria:Hi, Victoria… I’m heading to my first meeting with Sarah at the counselling centre in New West tomorrow, so wish me luck.  I’m a little weirded out, but we’ll see how it goes. I know this will be slightly long, but I wanted to share…

August 24, 2005 (Victoria) – Be more clear with communication – Ie: tell her I’m feeling bad about myself so she doesn’t automatically assume it’s about her – Write down what each of us is contributing to the relationship – Try to elicit change or motivational statements from her – don’t turn a positive from…
