[Magdalen] Reunion blues

[Scott Knitter]

I'm not not feeling it. I know my mom wants to see me when I go for the
reunion, but I'm trying to talk myself into finding another weekend just to
visit Mom and maybe the rental-car rates will be a little less (another
reason on my list). My therapist urged me to sort out the thoughts behind
the mixed feelings. A lot of thoughts on the pro-going side sound like
"shoulds" to me.

Will figure it out this weekend so I can let Mom know what the plan is.
