TL-H Is For Happy

TLH met with a counselor today.
It was nothing big. Just an assessment.
He asked a bunch of questions and then gave us a treatment plan.
She'll have appointments with a therapist and a Dr. and be on a medicinal plan.
I'm very wary of giving her meds so I'm going to, first, make sure that the problems aren't just from normal growing pains.
I haven't mentioned this, but TLH's dad is bi-polar.
They say that it does run in families and that TLH shows symptoms.
This crushes my heart.
I'm not ready to pour out my feelings on this subject yet, so let's move on.
After her appointment, I took TLH, and a napping L.J, to Bass Pro Shops.
Not for any camping gear, or hunting gear, or fishing gear.
But for squished pennies!

TLH collects squished pennies and Bass Pro Shops happens to have a penny machine in their store.
Who knew?
So, after cranking that wheel 4 times, she was a happy girl.

To get my happy fix on, I stopped at a local thrift store before going home.
Two, actually.
At the first stop, I ended up finding a mini apothecary jar to go with another jar that I found at another thrift store I went to the other day.
I love how my colorful thread look inside of the jar.

But, I ended up scoring big time at the next place.
I found a cute, little child's chair

and a couple of items for the girls and when I went to check out, the woman at the register started talking to me about my tattoo and how she loved it and how she wanted one, too.
So, when it was time to pay up, the only thing she rang up was the basketball shorts that TLH wanted.
Which was only a buck.
This is where it gets good.
I never carry cash on me.
I left my credit card in the car, so when I asked TLH to run to the car and get it, the lady said not to worry about it and she let me walk out of the store without paying!
How awesome was that?!
Granted, the items didn't total more than 5 bucks, but I still felt like I was robbing the place.
I'm definitely going back there when she's working.
I can't wait to do my first before and after post with that chair!
Keep your eye out for it!
