My mum's brother died last Thursday. He lived in Wales and I'm the only one of us 4 kids who knew him in (my) adulthood, as I lived in the UK for 7 years during the 90's. He was a very robust, healthy man with a gentle nature. My mum was scheduled to come visit with me tomorrow. It was all on-off-on-off with that until it was apparent that the health officials (coroner) in Wales won't be finished with his "case" til next week. So mum is coming (that's good); I am working while she arrives (bad) and my husband who was going to pick her up is now out of town (bad) and the limo service I arranged to fetch her (good) cancelled the reservation (very bad). I have *such* mixed feelings (good and bad) about her visit since it is such a sorrowful time, but I need to see her (very good) since yes, my leave of absence was due to mental health issues (pitch black bad). Could not stop crying and started yelling at executive managers (bad but funny).
I don't dare ask for the morning off work tomorrow as I have dragged the whole administrative staff along with me on this wild ride of mine with all my doctors' and therapist appointments. Every time I take time off work someone has to cover my job as I'm the front receptionist.
As for the therapist - I'm really ticked off about it. Once I showed up and she didn't have me on her schedule; Monday she called thinking we had an appointment (not according to my calendar), and she's rescheduled me twice and I just started to see her in December. She keeps telling me she's concerned about me but the actions don't give me that message, you know?
The 2 good for 1 bad list thing would be a great exercise. thanks!
