Welcome to couch #36!

A couple of days ago, a friend of mine compared a particular rhetorical* device I use to a moray. (I know that's kind of weird, but it made sense at the time.) Since then, I've had this going through my head:



*there's a word I always have to look up the spelling of

I know. I actually know someone who lives in a yurt.

Trying to conserve my phone,

We are still without power. Looks like maybe 16 inces of snow. Still a whiteout though. It's freezing. No damage that I can see... I jus hope the power comes on soon. We may have to shut our water main off to keep pipes from freezing. There's a ban on driving but I know people closer to the mainland that have power. We may end up there.

Thinking of you, wikid. I really hope your power returns and your pipes don't freeze.

Good luck Wiki. Thinking of you.

I hope you get your power back, or get to somewhere with heat wiki (((hugs)))

Busy, busy day ahead..

This morning as soon as urgent care opens bringing my son.. Poor kid has been sick for two weeks..Nasty cough, green runny nose, and last night started to complain that his ear hurts. So, I think it is about time to have him checked out. I feel like we spend our whole winter at the doctor!!

THEN- I finally get my sister date! Lunch and manicures with my 8 yr sister! Soooo much fun in store!

THENNNNN- my puppy has a grooming appointment at 5pm, which will mean I will have about two hours of wandering around in town looking for something to do. I will literally be jetting back and forth across the county today. At least it is not snowing and sunny out!

Do what you have to do to stay safe and warm Wiki. Morning Jersey. Apt that pic is hilarious!

Good morning, Lola.

Good morning Lola and Healed.

H and I are not really speaking right now. Yet, then why am I the one who has underlying feelings of guilt about it. He's an a s s.

wats going on jersey

Good morning Jersey and Granite..

Talk to us Jersey...

Granite, how is the snow there? Are you safe? Hugs.

Long story short. On Thursday I wanted to go to sleep because I have to be in work early. I never sleep in the bed, always on the couch as my bed is very uncomfortabe. So, I wanted to go to sleep but H would not turn off the TV and go into the bedroom. Finally I started screaming at him becasuse of it. I took Nyquil to sleep and because I was beginning to miss the window of it actually working and knocking me out, I became really really agitated and angry. Finally he slamed the remote down and said that once in a while If I relaxed instead of bullying people into what I want, that maybe I would actually fall asleep. ME A BULLY????? I don't think so. I was bullied as a child-never bullied anyone. So, he thinks I'm a bully. Fast forward to Friday morning, I woke up and he said good morning all pleasantly like nothing happened Thursday. So, I just didn't speak to him, came home last night, we said maybe 2 words to each other and I cleaned. Woke up today and he left without saying goodbye. And yet, I'm left feeling guilty but he's the one who called me a bully. Whatever. I'm over it. I know it does not seem like a big deal, but with everything else going on, this is just a build up on top of the other stuff.

Jersey, I get it. Sounds much like me and m H. There isn't a whole lot of communication going on between the two of you (much like myself and my H).. Maybe, once he gets home today you could tell him how much it hurt you for him to call you a bully??

Morning Grnite, Healed , Kare and Jersey. Sorry you are fighting with husband Jersey, i do the same thing - feel guilty when we are mad at each other. Hope your day gets better. Where did he go?

He went to go drive that stupid tow truck today. I'm just over it with him. We are opposites.. He wants to slam things call me a name then wake up the next morning like it all didn't happen? I was so angry when I woke up yesterday morning that I repeatedly slamed a pot into my kitchen counter..I just kept hitting the counter with the pot.

poor hubby out plowing the snow. his face is beat red because the snow keeps blowing in it. he also plowed the elderly neighbors drive and sidewalk. i guess i could make him some hot chocolate for when he gets in

Granite, that would be sweet.

Wiki, I hope your power gets restored quickly.

Jersey, I'm sorry things are bad between you and your husband. I imagine its really hard to live with someone you're not getting along with. Hugs to Healed, too.

I hope all the snowbound folks get dug out safely and soon.

We didn't get snow where I am, just rain. It's a bright, sunny, windy, cold day today. I'm having lunch with my best friend who I haven't seen all week (that is very unusual for us!) and then getting a mani. I think I need to do a funky color this time.

Cold and overcast here too. Rain tomorrow...
Critter-get each nail a different color, thats different!

Critter I am getting a mani today too... I am thinking something bold!! Maybe I will let my 8 year old sister pick the color for me!!

We got just enough snow for it to be annoying. Not too much. I gotta try to go take the dogs out without breaking my neck. That wouldn't be good. Because I have no medical insurance. Which causes not to be able to see T as much as I need to. Which causes me to not be able to go to the doctor for the sore throat I had the past 3 weeks. Which causes me to... Well...F it.. Jersey out.

I assume you mean 18, not 8?

Hmm, I see you said "8" again in another post so I guess it wasn't a typo... now I'm curious, what's the age limit for a manicure in the US? I don't actually know what it is here, but would assume that it's 18, like it is for a tattoo. Plus I believe it is VERY expensive. (I looked up pedicures one time when people on the couch talked about getting them, and they are about SEK800, which is about 70 US dollars I think. And manicures presumably cost pretty much the same. As far as I know I don't know anybody who gets them in real life, as you may understand from these ramblings - it's all a very different world for me. Though maybe everybody gets them. It's not exactly the kind of thing people would tell me about.)

I understand the feelings of anger and guilt, jersey. I'm sorry to hear this is happening to you.
