Minor update to previous entry
Feb. 9th, 2002 11:06 pmI suppose I could say "two minor updates"...
First, E., the woman I'm negotiating with, emailed me back and said not to take it personally, she was just busy. (Interesting note: "take it personally" upset me a moment... "Why would I be *MAD*?" I thought. Then I realized that the expression doesn't mean "don't get mad", it means "don't think I'm doing it because it's you, personally, that it's happening to.") She also said she was thinking about getting back to me before going to bed at night for the past while.
Second, Chris has been to a registered nurse practitioner (they have those as primary care folks out here... which sounds like a good idea in some cases. Maybe it's prejudice, but I always feel as if nurses are more practical than doctors), and she's chasing down a therapist. I've given her some pointers, and some encouragement, but other than that, I'm trying to step back.
