> I called and told him I had reservations about parking and thought I should probably cancel. Could he call me to discuss it. When he didn't by the evening, I called to say that I had better cancel so I wouldn't be charged. *Then* he called back (saying he was about to do so anyway) and somehow I'm going. I can't say he talked me into it or tried to influence me. He just said that as far as he knew there was no problem, assured me if he discovered there was a problem he would let me know and cancel, and when I said that if worst comes to worst can we have the session in my car agreed cheerfully. This is my irritated question to him whenever I get angry with him for choosing to practice in such a parking deprived area. Neither of us takes it seriously I hope. My car seats are covered with dog hair, and I'm sure he wouldn't want to be covered himself.

Oh Lord, Dinah, you sound just like me. I spend so much time perched on the fence I feel like a rooster. (Actually more like a chicken.)I too start out feeling very certain in my intent to cancel appts for reasons like these, i.e. the logistical or practical based ones, not the "I don't want to see you"(accompanied by a loud raspberry) ones. But then I think, Lucie, if you really felt so certain then why did you leave a message on his machine saying things like "I *think* I should cancel" or even "call me so we can talk about it."
Ugh. Impaled on the fence again.
Happy Lundi Gras!
