Protection and Protectors

This is a story about my psychiarist and the people with whom I work. One of whom is protecting herself from any future lawsuit (and maybe my privacy) and those who protect me personnally. Here goes the tale...........

I left a message on my psychiarist's voicemail to let her know I needed a prescription renewal . I would have waited for our next appointment but it was too far away.

Anyway, she returned my call at work and asked to speak with me. She ran into the gatekeeper. (Our Office Manager). She asked for me and was told I was away for lunch. "When will she be back"? she said. "At 2:00 P.M. but she will be with patient's so maybe you would like to leave a message", our manager said. No, said my psychiarist, I will try another time.

Well, I had 3 messages from her on my voicemail when I got home and she basically told me when I could drop by her office. Fine with me.

The trouble started when (according to our manager) she (my shrink) started talking elusively to her on the phone. It was not the soft voice that she left on my phone but a very overbearing and demanding one. My manager thought she was a telemarketer and was protecting me from her. I never even knew about the call but everyone else in the office did!!

When I did see my psychiarist the next evening, she explained to me that she did not want to leave her name because of confidentiality. I completely understood but explained that her being so evasive brought more curiousity than anything.
I also told her that everyone at work knows about her and my depression issues, I'm not ashamed of them. My patient's are not aware though, there is a private matter there. Completely different!!

My fellow employees are very supportive and protective of me. Same goes for my boss.

This makes me feel safe! I can't think of any other word that would describe it accurately!

Have A Great Weekend Guys and Gals,
Love Maggie

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!!

This is a picture of my neice Sophia. She is visiting from Ontario and spent New Year's Eve with me, last night. She loves concerts so we had one, as we usually do. This is her with all the goodies for the entertainers after the show. She's seriously into The Red Hot Chili Peppers, so we had to do songs from their CD's. She was a blast. Facial expressions and all during her renditions of the songs.

Get Ready............

To be fair I am adding a picture of me, sitting on the stage in my red raindeer jammies, singing a ditty. This is not a picture I am proud off, (I'm exhausted) but....fair is fair.















We were together all day, rain and sleet did not keep us from downtown. We ended up at McDonalds and there she reminded me of a promise I had made to her. We were to go to a store and with five dollars each and buy each other a present. There was a small department store nearby and we went there after we finished eating. We both went our separate ways ( I kept an eye on her) to buy our presents. She came back to me after awhile and said the present she wanted to buy was $8 and something. I exchanged her five dollar bill with a ten and sent her on her way.
Let me just say that there were many things for her to pick from and she is only six years old.

We got home, wrapped and unwrapped our presents and this is what she had gotten for me....................













This is not a really good photo but the stones are beautiful!!!


How was your New Year's Eve????

Love To All,
Maggie
