    Yes. I will continue my weekly therapy sessions. My therapist comes to my house to see me every Monday morning. That will not end for me for a very long time. I am one messed up cookie (or should I say carrot stick??).

    *deep sigh*

    I am so worn out. Tomorrow will be another long one. I will definitely tell yall about it when I get home tomorrow.
