Today Brad and I met our friend CJ at Starbucks. When we got there I was pretty anxious as we had been rushing to try to be on time, and we hadn’t ordered yet, and people were staring at me. So I started having a panic attack and Hestia just climbed up on my chest and started in with the deep pressure therapy and licking. It was great, and I was able to get through the panic before CJ arrived.

I had a wonderful salted caramel mocha, yuuuummmmmm, so glad those are back in season!

We had a really good time talking with CJ. He has a PhD like I do, and like Brad nearly has, so we share a lot of similar experiences being highly educated people who are disabled, trying to do what you used to do, and how to proceed now. It was a good talk that we had, ended too soon for my taste, but we had to go to a convention planning meeting. But it was fun while it lasted!

I am sorry your outing got off to a rough start ! Glad you got to enjoy your Mocha ! Happy hangouts always end to soon !
Thank you!
Way to work together, team! LOOKIT that fan of a tail, Empress–Deja would do nothing but want to stalk and ounce *holds her back 😛 I don’t have the PHD or a master’s, but I do have five degrees and I SOOOO get the whole highly educated but now what thing. Frustrating at times, ok, a lot of times. Def helps when you have similar folks with whom to talk.
Nice to know someone else in the same boat!
