It’s been a weird day, full of questions that the people asking should have already known the answers to. But I got a lot of small personal tasks done, my work day will be over in less than an hour, and after I get the laundry out of the dryer and make some dinner I’ll have no plans this evening other than chillin’ on the couch with the doggy. Ahhhh. My therapist has been on vacation, and tomorrow I’ll see her for the first time in two weeks. I might bring up the idea of stopping our sessions. It’s only been 9 months, and I think she’s been helpful, but I’m starting to stress a little about how much I’m spending every month and I feel that the gym membership and personal training are _more_ helpful. Plus, now that I’m leaving work “early” every Thursday (to meet with the trainer) I’m feeling self-conscious about the idea of also being out of the office for 2 hours every Thursday morning. She does offer video sessions, which we’ve done a few times in a pinch, but I’m not a fan and would never want video to be my primary therapy method. I guess I’ll see what she says/thinks. **Taters** mentioning zoos and red wolves reminds me of something I recently learned in [another thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/north-west-new-jersey-in-september-what-else-to-do/): there’s a [Lakota Wolf Preserve](https://lakotawolf.com/) about an hour from where my cousins live in NJ! I _love_ wolves. I have for as long as I can remember. There’s wolf stuff all around my house, and the tattoo I’m in the process of having removed is of a howling wolf (the subject matter isn’t why I’m having it removed). I’ll be going up to NJ again in a month for my cousin’s daughter’s wedding: I won’t have time to fit in a visit to the preserve then, but I will _definitely_ try to do some advance planning for my next trip and see about booking a tour. > [@LSLGuy](#): > > To be clear I meant that I spent some of my total ambition killing administrivia. Not that administrivia was _per se_ ambition-killing. Ahhh, gotcha! But I still plan to appropriate “ambition-killing administrivia.” 😁 > [@LSLGuy](#): > > As a legal blogger I like often says: hypens matter. Use 'em right or silliness ensues. Very true…but so many people omit them that I no longer assume omissions are deliberate. 🙂 > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > when I worked at Redstone Arsenal I picked up several (those folks are serious) Oh man, I learned young to _never_ speed on base.

I definitely feel it all, but am mostly just a little more tired than usual. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-sleepover-in-the-mmp/987860)._
