hi aa!I'm really relieved to hear back from her, but now I'm in a pickle about writing a reply. She wants to know how I'm doing but how much do I share? She's doing great but I'm lonely, scared, and miserable and, because it's in an email, I'm tempted to spill my guts. I shouldn't though.
so nice to hear from you. i must say i'm bummed that i missed your thesis as i've been in town since the end of april. i'd love to see what you did - do you have pictures? hee hee, photo major.
well, i got married, bought a house in [small nearby town], and am working at [small catholic university]. benefits are nice! life is being good to me. how is [current residence] for you?
post-home ownership i've gotten into the habit of dinner parties. perhaps you and [n] would like to come over for one?
i hope you're well - thanks for getting back in touch!
later gator,
alice
And she mentioned having a dinner party with N. I would love to go, but the idea freaks me out more than a little. Parties are incredibly difficult for me. Couldn't we just go for coffee instead?
I'm going to bring this up at therapy today. I'm thankful the timing of the reply makes this possible. And I printed out the emails—my original one and her reply—so I could reference them directly. I talk about emails a lot during my weekly sessions, so I wonder if actually bringing them in would help.
