13 Realizations of the Past Week

It's been a weird, rainy, windy, and busy week. Here's just some of the highlights, along with my profound realizations.

1. We upgraded to digital cable. I love the free On Demand movies. I realized that I don't have nearly enough time to watch as many as I'd like to.
   
2. We also switched to digital voice for phone service. I can listen to my voice messages on the Internet. I realized that this is very freaky.
   
3. Yesterday I received some of my first feedback from a client via my supervisor. The client didn't want an intern providing their therapy. I realized that I was irked by this feedback, but then realized that I learned a lot from the experience.
   
4. I ordered 4.4 pounds of cream earl grey tea. I realize that this amount of tea will last me a year.
   
5. Smee's photobook from Snapfish arrived. I realized that I could easily spend a fortune creating dozens of such photobooks.
   
6. I realized that Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I have no burning desire to cook a big meal for just the two of us.
   
7. I realized that I need to start video taping my clients if I am to present at my pro-sem on November 30th. Only right now I don't have any clients scheduled.
   
8. This coming Sunday my Little Sister and I get together to bake cookies. I realized that baking cookies is an important activity in a little girl's life.
   
9. There's been too much rain, wind, and leaves. I realized I can't do a damn thing about it, too.
   
10. I realized that one year from now I should be graduated!
    
11. Yesterday and today I observed two intake assessments and realized that there is so much stuff to know, and I wonder how I'm going to learn even a fraction of it within the next year.
    
12. After purchasing my tickets to fly out to see my brother, I realized that I finally get to meet my nieces and nephew, and I'm pretty excited and jazzed about that!
    
13. As much as I enjoy playing the cello in the community orchestra, I realized that I don't have the energy to participate in a meaningful way, so I'll have to take a break from it until I feel more perky.
