My hands are...

always cold*

had to let you know...it's quite upsetting, it is me.
I put on some gloves,
as I type...I think-
of those who live in other homes,
without heat...food or lovely things for them from the get-go,
and I'm sick of the complaining self from two seconds ago

I had a very difficult conversation with a client on Monday. For the first time, she indicated to me a desire to part with her boyfriend, who is also in our program for homeless addicts.
