Dr. "Counselor", PhD. NCC, LPCC

I met a nice woman today; warm and sincere. She lived in CA for 30 yrs before moving to ND (I'll have to ask why?) and now practices counseling in her home. She told me that ND does not accept PhD in Psychology from other states. Isn't that odd? To qualify as a practicionar you have to take so many hours of ...?, take a few extra classes, and take an all day exam. She decided to just become a LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor). She said that Social Workers are the "in" field, as far as a counseling type of thing. Ugh; I do not want to be a social worker.

Anyway. I gave about as much info as I could in an hour. Afterwards, her response: a sigh. (lol) She said that Jon's death seems to have agitated a lot of things in my life. My response: Yep!

I love you all (family and friends). And I'm leaving you with a pic of Mark's newest handywork. Oh, he went fishing last night and caught sturgeon, catfish, and I think some walleye. He said it was fun. Me? after my two glasses of Mary I slept like a baby.
