You're lucky you even HAVE a therapist! I had one when I was in fostercare, but my parents won't let me see one anymore despite acknowledgeing my mentalness because they're afraid I'll embarrass them.

Wow your parents sound like they are totally horrible. Any way you can get away? If you need a therapist, you need a therapist.

They're not horrible, they really love me and stuff and actually did take me to a therapist ONCE when they found out I was throwing away my meds, but they believe in confronting our family problems "in private" because we all have some REALLY messed up issues. They think it's shameful to talk about these things to people other than those in the family.

If my family refused to get my a therapist, I would just find somebody outside the family to talk to and make sure that people know what my parents are doing and why.

Anyway today I am trying to keep the dogs quiet because my mother has a Zoom meeting for work so they can't really be barking.

Zoom has an interesting effect on pets. Sophie likes to sit beside our chairs and eavesdrop. She doesn't lay down, she sits - maybe she's expecting an unseen hand to extend a treat. Many folks have dogs that bark, assuming there's a stranger in the house - maybe eight of them. One friend tells me her dog leaves the room and hates all the disembodied voices.

Many cats like to preen in front of the screen - of course, lots of cats love the keyboard. Some do meow and the missus has a friend with a yowler in the house. We have one friend with canaries and the birds like to trill when the conversations get going. Wonder what parrots do, especially those who talk? Reptiles, amphibians, and fish - dunno.

Buncha zoom conferences on church matters. Even when it's enjoyable, Zooming wears me down sometimes. Sometimes, it's like a mass skype call ... or the Brady Bunch.

I’ve never liked Zoom. It’s mostly the fact that a horrid coworker in my old job kept being a um, charming young lady during the conferences, and also because they just drive me crazy because the sound on my iPad always seems to be wonky with Zoom.

I kin keep my enthusiasm under control easily. Part of the problem is interactions. People naturally talk over each other and, when your hearing is not the best, that creates complications. In normal conversation, I need a little lip reading to help but when everyone's talking, you aren't sure who to focus on. But waiting to get called on is tricky, too.

I actively despise football. It's not something that would ever interest me.

Baseball on the other-hand... :P

Not much. One of those days when you're doing a little bit of everything, not much of anything.

The missus and I went to downtown Buffalo this afternoon. City's still pretty subdued since our last visit, most shops and restaurants still closed. Small town suburbs are more open and "back to normal"ish.
