I’m just like

When a new client tells me I helped her more in 30 minutes than her previous therapist did in months

In my head I’m just like

her daughter finally split from abusive husband

Daughter and 17 year old granddaughter moved in

In less than a month daughter had paid for match.com account

In 2 months she reconnected with a man she knew in Houston from 20+ years ago

He claims to be active duty in Afghanistan and is separating from military

He claims military won’t let him access his bank account and he needs $ to pay for his flight home.

He has so far “borrowed “ over $1,800 to cover his transportation and inoculation expenses for returning stateside.

He needed money for inoculations?

I’ve never heard of such a thing.

I’ve never heard of the military expecting personnel to pay their own way home from an overseas duty station. WTF

Mom is so aggravated by volume of shower and hair products in her spare bathroom that she has decided to give me all shampoos and conditioners that she developed sensitivity/ allergy reactions to. Normally they would go to her daughter. My hair is about 2.5 inches long and in no need for anything but a bar of soap to wash my head with.

I love having front row seats to this train wreck in progress, but she could miss me with her hand me down hair products

My afternoon appointment will be late today because her son is getting married at the courthouse. Yesterday was when she found out.

I can’t wait to hear this story.
