He took off Wednesday and Thursday and still was feeling a bit sick today, tho he didn't appear anywhere near as sick as Tuesday.
Since we couldn't spend the entire session commiserating on his illness, I tried mightily to make it productive. I tossed out subject after subject, any one of which had the potential of being a session unto itself. But nothing stuck.
I hadn't realized how much I depend on his participation to keep the session moving. Somehow in my mind it always seems more like a monologue than it must actually be.
That's ok though. He wasn't at his best, and it seems kind of nice to know that I can accept that sessions will be dull as dishwater from time to time while also knowing overall our therapy is fine.
