0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	I'm 11. Bridget, welcome to the program. Hi, Dr. Laura. Hi. Hi, nice to talk to you. I have a question for you.
0:20.0	I hope it's not a stupid one. Oh, I want to stupid one. Make sure it's really stupid. Come on.
0:28.0	Yeah, you're going to love me, but well, I have a, I'm 49 years old. I've been married for 29 years, just made 29 years last month.
0:41.0	My husband and I are planning an upcoming trip. He really needed to go somewhere, do something just the whole COVID and being locked up and so we have a trip coming up in the next two and a half months.
0:56.0	And he is, I feel like he's obsessing. He's constantly. So what? So what have he is obsessing about the trip? What's wrong with that? Kids obsess about Christmas, starting from Thanksgiving.
1:10.0	I know he's not a kid partially and the other three. Sorry. So we're not allowed to get really excited about something unless we're a kid. Bridget, are you that constipated?

1:52.0	So tell me why you're not that interested in this trip.

2:13.0	So I'm going to turn into something and ruin the time, but it feels like it gets ruined before. No, it doesn't feel like it. That's wrong.
2:23.0	I make up the story in my head that it's going to be a crappy trip before we even get there.
2:29.0	So I anticipate all this stuff that gets me upset or.
2:34.0	So what if you acted like a kid? What if you looked at brochures about where you're going and looked for four things that you would really like to do and show him and look very excited and say, God, I want to do this.
2:50.0	God, I want to do this. I really do this. I really want to do this.
