This is the first time in 2 years that I have been more than 2 minutes late (and that was only one time) in 2 years.
I set my alarm for 8:15PM instead of 8:15AM.
He called me at 10:10, wondering where I was.
My daughter was still asleep - her US History final started at 10:00. I got her out the door and then called him back, and we did a phone session for the remaining 25 minutes.
I'm crushed (but I mistyped it to be closer to "cursed" twice before getting it "right") that I missed a session. I value my sessions so highly, I'm so disappointed that I couldn't see him today.
And today was our 2 year anniversary. We didn't celebrate the 1 year anniversary because we were in the middle of a wicked fight and I didn't want to celebrate at all. But right now things are going really well. I hadn't decided whether to bring donuts for the celebration or not. He has been a bit confused about why I would want to "celebrate" a therapy anniversary.
Maybe this is my way of saying that we don't have to celebrate. Maybe that was just something I did with my former therapist. After missing it two years in a row, there doesn't seem to be much of a precidence for the future...
I told him about some dreams (that had kept me sleeping because they were interesting). And after we hung up I did some journalling - maybe to make up for missing half the session.
He's willing not to "interpret" my oversleeping, and to just see it as one of those things that happens. But I'm not so sure anymore... Tomorrow should be interesting (thank goodness for 3/week!!)
