Quiet Sunday

The boys are sleeping. It's Sunday afternoon. Dom is in his crib, Nathan on our bed, Pogi in the sun in the front room. I'm on the couch in the TV room writing this with my phone (watch out for typos). I signed up for a class on Thursday nights.  It's called, "Writing Memoirs". It …

A Dreadful Therapy Appointment

(Thanks for the great idea, Kaakun.) Bring on the DOC for the FINAL Therapy Thursday! He has NO clue what is about to happen and really, neither do I, which is probably more a testimony to my need for REAL therapy than just a funny thing to say. Let us begin. DOC: It’s about time …

Replacing Therapy Thursdays

I need YOUR help, internet. I’m disillusioned with Therapy Thursdays and would like to replace these blog entries, either with a new therapy theme or with an entirely new idea. WHAT SHOULD I DO? You always wanted to help out with the direction of this awesome blog, right? GREAT. Now’s your chance. It’s a fun …

Comment NOW to Get a Chance to Write my Paper

DOC: Missed ya last week. LRE: I know, right? Must be rough having to go so long without seeing Larrie. DOC: Tell me about it. LRE: I just did. DOC: Well, how did the surgery go? LRE: Great. Why don’t you just read my blog yourself and find out? DOC: Because I don’t actually exist. …

Appointment Cancellation Fee: $26.90

There's no appointment with the DOC today... because of an appointment with a real LIFE doctor who's going to cut up my toe and then put it back together. Does anybody have a guess what the WORST part of surgery is? Think about it for a bit. Feel free to bring me crossword puzzles at …

Blame it on the Toe

DOC: Come on in. LRE: Gee, thanks, mister. DOC: Sure, let’s get started. I have a quiz for you. LRE: Oh… do I have to use a number two pencil to take it? DOC: No. I don’t own a scantron-reader thingamajig. LRE: Right and you wouldn’t want to actually figure out what it means that …

Why do I Blog?

DOC: Hey Lare… glad you could make it. LRE: Gee thanks, Doc. You’re so informal today and I see you’re not wearing shoes. Your socks don’t match. DOC: I learned that from your friend, Mademoiselle Drew. LRE: How do you know her? DOC: I know everybody who is so kind to comment on your precious …

Wishing I could go back to Seattle and Portland…

Do I need to write a little intro every week explaining the oddness that is my personal therapy appointment with an imaginary doctor… on my blog? I know; it’s true; it’s strange, but would you expect anything less? DOC: You’re late. LRE: Probably. DOC: No. Not probably. You are. LRE: Well, at least I’m here. …

The Quirks of LRE

Hooray it’s Thursday, which means you’re getting ever closer to the fabulous weekend, but it also means it’s time for everyone’s favorite weekly blog: Therapy Thursdays. The stage is set with a nice chaise lounge chair under a big window with a brilliantly yellow and orange sweetgum tree just outside. Sounds idyllic? In walks the …

If You’ve Been Dumped, Your Brain Will Eventually Get Over Him

Bring on this week’s fabulous installment of Therapy Thursdays where Larrie gets her much-needed therapy from the Doc (hey… imaginary therapy works, too, and costs less). DOC: You made it; would you like to discuss what everybody else is discussing? LRE: Who’s everybody else? DOC: Yaknow, all of my patients. LRE: Unless you’re scheduling therapy …
