"I have a new love," he told me.
"What? Who? What is it???" I demanded.
"Brezhnev!" he announced.
That was just perfect...
We ate Korean food followed by Pinkberry which seems to be the new "drug of choice" among my AA friends. I was a few minutes late to my AA meeting, as we got caught in the tunnel heading towards Grand Central-- a tunnel that I compared to the devil's esophagus. Cherubino scolded me. I was a little annoyed.
Anyway, after AA I had a long talk walking Meema to the subway. Then I met up with Slope, LashGirl and StarGazer for dinner followed by dessert at Serendipity. I don't think I've laughed so hard in quite a long time. Granted, we were all doing a little "drunkalog" sharing, but it was good to laugh. It was even better to make other people laugh.
"I never realized how hysterical you were!" LashGirl said.
Anyway, I have to get to bed, as I'm leaving for Maryland tomorrow to present a conference paper and I haven't even finished the paper yet, so I have to get up and do it tomorrow morning! (Nothing like saving things for the last minute...)
Oh-- and I got hypnotized by my therapist today. And something really disturbed me about it and so I don't want to talk about it, think about it or write about it.
I want to go polish my nails and then go to sleep.
Oh-- and my eyes are red and stinging from allergies. It sucks, but it sort of makes me look like a Bouguereau. And in a way, there's nothing better than that, right? I can't think of anything right now... In fact, my complexion kind of matches that in the painting.Spring can bring its own lovely aestheticized illness-infused beauty, I suppose.
I'm just glad to be feeling better. Thank God for good friends, new friends and denial, and for the fact that I've managed to squelch whatever was trying to come through during therapy.
Sometimes I hope that I will never know my own secrets.
Wish me luck at the conference. I may not be back to write before Sunday...
Lots of love,
h

Good Luck Hydester.
Thanks! :)
Good luck, Hyde!
Good luck!
Definitely talk to your psychiatrist about your experience. In therapy, the idea is not to become overloaded with things you can't process and deal with, it's to start uncovering things at a pace that is growthful. Well, that's my opinion, anyway.
I am coming to NYC. I will be there around September 15-22. Can't wait! I am going to have a ton of questions for you, as I have never been. WooHoo!
