Last night I was scolded.  It would seem my attempts at MacGyvering my computer could have easily lead to a fire and (apparently) using tin foil as a conduit to connect the power cord in the port is not a good idea.  Well, fuck.  I was proud as peaches Saturday night, thinking wouldn’t ____ be thrilled  with my ingenuity.  ____ was very unthrilled with me and made me promise to never, ever do that again.    That’s why my computer wouldn’t start Sunday morning- she was trying to avoid Death by Ali.fullsizerender-1

I had to get up at 5 this morning for my dentist visit and this was tough because it was difficult to fall asleep since I slept until almost noon.  I was thinking about clients, treatment plans, impairments (!!).  I’m not gonna lie, I was also thinking ‘bout nachos.  Not Fresh Mex nachos (though they aren’t too shabby), I was envisioning the glorious KING-GOD of all nachos: a full order La Bodega combination nachos. I’m almost crying thinking about it and no – a 2 day road trip is NOT too much for one of those.  One of my dad’s dreams was La Bodega “basic” shops at airports with nachos, burritos, tacos.  I’m so mad it never came to pass – I would have become an airline attendant, despite my nervousness when flying.

I digress.  Off to the dentist!  Something I must also mention is my preference of almost fullsizerenderanything (I think this morning my example to the office staff was” 78 Pap Smears”) over dentists.  This morning that changed.  I fell in love with this dentist, so gentle, so minimally invasive, such incredible solutions.  I am excited to never miss another appointment again.

The day was minimal- a missed client and group.  I had a beautiful dialogue on trauma with a new colleague and headed home for days of relaxation.  Ha. Just kidding – I get to study more because as well as I thought I was doing, I failed epically on my First Fake Exam.

fullsizerender-2This evening my alarm was silenced.   I will have Six days of Sleeping In.  I’ll also be putting in some time on Solitaire whilst listening to my exam info (apparently there is a method behind this madness).  Good stuff is about to happen.

Pictures: My drive home.  The first two shots I see every day, yet today I decided to take a road I had never driven before and found this: < treasures await if we dare to explore.
