This is a 50 minute psychotherapy session dated 08/10/2008 for Bertha Magilicutti. We discussed many things today but the most concerning problem is her newly acquired "talking to herself." She stated that because she has been so busy and not able to "blog," she has found herself creating posts in her head at the most inopportune times. It is very frustrating for her that she cannot find the time to actually post these things and has thus resorted to keeping them to herself. She is often found laughing to herself, making hand gestures to no one in particular, and typing in midair. When she is questioned about this behavior by a family member, she just shrugs with pity that they cannot appreciate the blogs running through her head for they are "quite entertaining," and this is of course concerning to her family.
We talked about possible ways that she could make more time for this favorite past time as she says "this is definitely something that she does not want to give up." One of her ideas of finding more time was that she would suggest to her children that they flush the toilets themselves, brush their own teeth, put their own shoes in the shoe basket, cook their own dinner, wash their own clothes, do their own shopping, take their own selves to young women's, scouts, achievement days, etc; she would have her husband do the dinner dishes, put the kids to bed, clean his own bathroom, hang his own clothes; she would have the dog feed herself and take her own bath; she would tell the ladies she will soon be visiting teaching to just give her a call if they ever need anything and I am sure she would have kept going if I had not stopped her on account of time.
As we talked about a few of these things that are not feasible, she finally agreed and decided that she could indeed just stay up until all hours of the night to get her fix of blogging. We will see her back in one week to see if she is successful in her quest to find more time to share with you about all of her new adventures in Santaquin.

Is that what you were doing when I was there the last time, talking to yourself? Yeah, it's time you do some serious blogging. The rest of us are having Bonnie withdrawls. We need your good humor to help us through the day. I'll come help you with your dishes if it means more time to blog for you.
Oh, Magilicutti - you are such a hoot. We have definitely missed you. WoW (Wonderful Old Lady) and Dad (Dearest Aged Darling)
Sharon said it right! There are serious withdrawals here! Can't wait until you join us in the posting again. HUGS!
I don't know about anybody else but I want to see your new pad and a little update on the move. Pretty please. It might cure the talking to yourself.
