Lots going on in life.  The kids are back to school.  Last night, we pulled a late night and you could tell this morning.  We will definitely be going to bed early tonight, that's for sure.  Yesterday the Bishop cancelled our appointment for last night.  That was hard for me to take.  I am really trying to trust the Bishop and then he cancels.  I know that he is a very busy man and there was a death in the ward so I understand that he needs to take care of those people first.  I do have Jade who is also LDS so I can ask him my religious questions but it seems like it is wasting our time in therapy talking religion when we have other things to discuss.  I sent a text to Jade and let him know that I wouldn't be meeting with the Bishop unless he felt it was necessary.  I didn't get a response, but my gut told me that I needed to meet with the Bishop, so I scheduled it with the Executive secretary.  I feel like such a bother, both to the Bishop and to Jade.

Last week, Jade told me how strong I was becoming.  I finally told him that he is being paid to say that.  He got a little upset by that and told me that I should know him and that he doesn't blow smoke.  He has been quite blunt with me before.  I have had to tell him a couple of times that it didn't feel good leaving his office, and I didn't appreciate how blunt he had been.  Hopefully, he doesn't take that as a "I need to be more blunt with Mary", kind of impression because I don't think I can do blunt right now.
