Quote from therapy, today:
“And I’m frustrated, because as much as I think about resolving this, I never seem to figure out how.”
(Pause)
“And now I’m annoyed because I seem to be quoting the punk rock song, ‘Institutionalized’.”

-UIM.
The progress part is that I did not start quoting the song.

Subject: Mom, about retirement.
Someone sent her information about yarn bombing….  (http://www.google.com/search?q=yarn+bombing+chicago&hl=en&rlz=1R2ADFA_enUS377&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=Os95T-7oHKa42wW6zPj9Cw&ved=0CEEQsAQ&biw=833&bih=824 )

Mom: “I can sneak out and cover things with knitted garments.  I’ve never been arrested before.”

UIM: “Mooommmm…”

Mom: “I haven’t decided if getting arrested is on my bucket list.”

UIM: “Yeah, that’ll be great, asking my boss for time off to go to Hanover and bail my mother out of
jail.”

Mom: “It’ll be fun.”

UIM: “At least it’s not a federal offense.”

Mom: “What if I knit a cover for a public mailbox?”

(pause)

UIM: (growlier) “Ok, Mom, you’re getting the reaction you wanted…”
