The internet definitely does eat e-mails. When I was working for a pharmaceutical company a few years ago, it was official policy that any e-mail communication with counterparts in other companies had to be followed up by fax, telephone, or regular mail. There are just too many times when “Send” = “Delete” or “Save” = “Delete”.

Glad you got the ball rolling again.

It would seem the internet has been eating my emails. I saw my psyc tonight when I went to the local club with my family to celebrate my older brother’s dinner. He said he’s only ever received one email from me and when I told him why I’d sent my last one (parents want to see him) he told me “forget email I’ll snail mail something about your parents to you”. I felt a little bad about ambushing him because he was with his wife walking out but I knew if I didn’t do it then I’d continue to put it off.

I can’t get a little electric heater because I can’t afford to pay for the power it uses. I can’t go and exercise at night either.

Whatever you do, don’t freeze your fingers off. That will make wheeling much harder.

1. Buy a little electric heater.
2. Go for a walk or take some kind of exercise.
3. Call your shrink.
4. Take responsibility for yourself.

Not necessarily in that order.

Hi Sophie – the first thing your psychologist needs to do before meeting them is to get your specific permission to do so and check with you if there is anything you don’t want him to disclose.
Email or phone, taht’s the only ethical/legal procedure.
