As I drove Mags to school this morning, she explained how she and a friend had created a GoFundMe for transgendered people who couldn’t afford binders.  They created a small account with a goal (this goal was apparently reached with two funders) and they purchased two binders for winners they selected.  Wow.  This is my girl…img_5579

Which reminds me of a time when I was working with a transgender individual.  It’s important to note I had just started grad school.  He came to me one day before class and shared how he had just purchased a new binder.  “Wow!!”  I replied, “í did, too!!”  It only took me a minute or two to understand we were talking about two different types:  Mine were for papers, his were not.

A rainy day, all day.  Many clients did not show, but others did. Flight and hotel reservations made in New Orleans.   A colleague kindly referred to me as “youthful”, which is a nice way of saying immature.  I like having fun at work – I cannot begin to tell of the daily horror stories we hear.  “Youthfulness” has its place.

img_5582I learned more at my own therapy session – Interesting what happens when we open our minds as well as our ears.  I can often be quite rigid in my thinking.  As I headed home, the Boy asked me to stop off for something at the store, so I purchased myself some SweeTarts Sours.  I never learn and my tongue is raw.

Together we cooked for Taco Monday, a new tradition I started today.  It won’t last very long, I think….  Then we watched img_5585episode two of the Netflix OJ series:   the slow-speed chase.  Ethan wasn’t very impressed with it…kids these days.  For a Monday, it sure  was a Friday.  I think I’ll open the window a bit so that freshly rained-air can come in.  I do love my rain.
