A Gasoline Incident

Pdoc recommended a couple of things: writing down a list of conversational topics before I go to someplace where I must be social, and joining Sierra Club Singles and going hiking with people. Both are good ideas. I told him in painstaking detail about my social anxiety, how I tend to dissociate when I get insecure which is much of the time. Awkwardness. Gaps. Though usually I do okay around people i know pretty well. It's the semi-strangers who get me. And it's not always been this way. Only a few years ago when I had small kids I could talk to anyone, anywhere. I thought I'd finally gotten over my fears, but no. They came back when all this misfortune came into my life.

But rah rah for him trying to help. I think it will be better.

My book still has not come! WTF! It was mailed on January 23! There must be a problem somewhere. Damn it. I have work connected with that book due this week.

When I was pumping gas on the way back from pdoc's office the gas nozzle popped out of the hole while it was still on! I managed to jump out of the way but it spewed gas all over the ground. Weird!
