We were going to create a budget plan today, but m "smoked weed" prior to meeting me. I said I'm not here to tell you how to run your life, but if you want to work on goals like budgetting, it would help if you don't smoke before we get together. M was apologetic and agreed that it wasn't a good choice. And that she won't do it again.
