small victory, but i'll take it.

i've been thinking a lot on the 'shit drawers' (similar to the bags of shit my dad told me about), and trying to find a way to talk to him about it at an appropriate time. i already know that our shit draws are so horrifyingly complimentary and opposite, it's just a matter of bringing them up when it's a reasonable time for him and a safe time for me.

we had the intake meeting today at county mh, he said he was doing it against his instincts, so i'll count that as a positive.
