A friend dropped by unexpectedly this evening, and I realised how much cheaper and more satisfying it is to have some couch therapy with a friend than to go to a therapist. With a friend you are guaranteed a free flowing conversation and at least a three hour session, not the 50 minute hour session with a psychoanalyst - and besides you get to talk about literature, travel to foreign lands, the little funny things that happen in the day.
It was such a welcome distraction having been in front of the screen all day.
Now I better wrangle myself out of this couch before it turns into my real bed for the night!
Thank you everyone who takes the time to read these postings, your support is so much appreciated.
