Yay! I like seasons. They always surprise me when they change! I just got used to Summer. Behold, Autumn is on it's way. I must remember that seasons change. Or continue to be surprised. I'll let fate decide.

Hello all..

Wiki- sorry you are feeling so low.

MKAC- sorry about all of the crappy things going on..

Pinkshadow- Welcome and (((hugs)))

Anybody else.. I hope you all had a great day. Something to look forward to is: TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!!!

Its been a long day... Topped off by a trip to a new allergist for my Son... We ended up doing skin testing.. Added one new food allergy, food out he is way more allergic to peanuts then we thought he was, and found out that he is VERY allergic to certains up grass and dust mites. I HATE ALLERGIES. The skin test was horrible.. Hold him still while they stick him, and then nothing can touch his back for 15mins, not fun!!

In other news.. Fridays are usually T days, but b/c T's wife is having surgery no session. So, I scheduled a hair appointment in place of T appointment looking forward to it. I plan on a trip to Target, Starbucks, and Old Navy since they are all on my route to my hair lady

Hey lightbulb. Yep, autumn here as well - sweater and coat are necessary in the mornings. And it gets dark more and more early in the evenings. The trees' colours are nice, though. Very like New England (the US New England, that is), says a friend of mine who is from there.

The weekend always looms too close, on a Friday.

Allergies really do suck, healed. Sorry to hear about your son's tribulations.

Anyway, I'd better go to bed.

to the couchketeers.

Granite...hi how are you today?

Sep 20, 2012, 05:20 PM

I'm really nervous now. Maybe I just need to stay in a drunken stupor until Tuesday.

Have fun tonight Lola!! TTGB, listen to Lola.. That sounds like a good rx!

Hi couchies. It's been a helluva day.

Remind me not to go into a session with no specific agenda again. It gives T far too much leeway on what we talk about. We go places I'd really rather not go.

He also criticized me for not attending his birthday parties as he was growing up, despite the fact that my older sister went through a period where she was trying to prove a point about how much I don't prioritize family so she would schedule his parties for days when I already said I was going to be out of town to try to force me to change my plans. When I didn't change my plans, she and my younger sister told my nephew about how this was 'proof' I didn't really really love him. So he was upset about that. So now if I go, it won't be enough because I didn't go when he was younger and it really mattered, and if I don't go, it will be proof that I don't care about him. AND my older sister and I have been getting along better, and she recently left her husband and moved in with a female friend and my mom and younger sister are accusing them of having a lesbian relationship, and if I don't go, my older sister will be all alone having to face her own husband who she recently left, my mom, and our younger sister with no one there who has her back. So. I don't know whether to go or not.

That's a tricky one, for sure.

I pretty much gave up on my family in my twenties.
I've got them back now, but the bonds are pretty weak.
Maybe they always were.

Crushing depression, with sobbing. I am barely making it. Intrusive thoughts and crap. I am supposed to work the shelter tonight but I am not even sure how I'll get thru that. I just want to give up.

I prefer to keep up my usual routine if I can.

I've felt like that. Under pressure, I need to plan the session and keep control of it.

I don't mind wandering when I'm in a good mood.

trdleblue · Sep 20, 2012, 07:15 PM

Good evening to all and welcome to Susan!

Chopin - I hope you have fun partying tonight!

MKAC - I'm sorry for the problem at work, and I'm really sorry for your family. That's a lot to deal with.

Wiki -

Granite - Hearing that Teavana is about to have new teas has made my day so much better. I wonder if all the stores get them on the same day? I will have to check tomorrow.

Healed - This made me laugh. Whenever I see or hear anything about an upcoming weekend I think of a meme I saw. It said - "Thank god it's Friday! ...says no one ever who works in a restaurant.

I hope you have a fun shopping excursion tomorrow.

critterlady · Sep 20, 2012, 07:22 PM

I wish Teavana had more decaffeinated teas. I don't care for herbal teas, but I don't like caffeine. Decaf black or green teas are my favorites. Arbor Teas is a good source, too. I think they only sell online.

granite1 · Sep 20, 2012, 07:23 PM

hi lola i am doing ok i went to a craft thing tonight and have plans for the weekend so i am keeping myself busy
