Couch 48 - All are Welcome - really!

Night Night MUE!

1 is the loneliest number that you ever knew...

Thanks, Lola....I'm not quite there yet with the sleep. *sigh*

...and thanks for getting that song stuck in my head. 1 is a lonely number, but I found that it sure beats being with others that make you unhappy.

I haven't thought about that song in years Lola. Use to be one of my faves, even though technically I think it was a little before my time. My sister had the album and I use to listen to it.

Is that Three Dog Night?

Hey couch! I finished the baby afghan tonite. SO happy with how it turned out.

Gorgeous!

Is that as big as it looks?! Big baby!

LC - I think two can be a lot lonelier than one sometimes.

Art - nice baby blanket star.

Awesome blanket Art

SD- I know , I just need strength for these next few weeks

I'm so depressed, the acute team won't book me into see a psychiatrist, my doctors receptionist wouldn't schedule me an urgent appt even though my doc said all I had to do is ask for one. I'm too scared to contact my T after his last response. And tomorrow my ex wants to discuss finance stuff. I just can't bear this anymore. Sorry to bring everyone down again. This is the problem with part-time docs and Ts.

I need to learn to stand up for myself but I really don't know how. I'll stand up for anyone else, just not me.

((BA))

This is all very discouraging.

You're right CE. I've decided to have a hot chocolate to cheer me up, hopefully.

I just want everyone to leave me alone, I know its not fair on the kids but its just all too much at the moment.

Wow, Art, that's BEAUTIFUL!!! WOW!!!

((( BPA )))

Ugh. I'm sorry you're in such a tough spot. I totally hear ya about standing up for others but not ourselves. I am much the same way, never feel worthy enough but don't hesitate to help others that way. I hope you can find a way to get your needs met.

What a cruddy night's sleep! I finally went to bed around 1 AM....and was woken by a text from the agency asking if I could do an emergency assignment at 3 AM. I already told them I can't take calls after 10 PM because I don't want to drag my daughter out of bed on a school night. She said "what about at 6:30 AM?" to relieve the person that goes? (That would mean getting my daughter up and to someone's house by 5:45 AM, umm no.)

I told them the earliest I could do is 7:30 AM - and that still requires me to get my daughter up earlier than usual and see if my neighbor can take her. They were ok with that and said to be "on hold" until they know for sure whether or not I'm needed.

Got back to sleep around 4ish....then got a text at 5:15 AM letting me know that the patient was admitted so they need me at 7:30 AM.

I am groggy. Hopping in the shower now. Hoping that will wake me up!

Not sure when I will be able to get back online, but I hope my couch peeps have a good day!

That is fabulous!! Love the colors and the shape. That's one lucky baby!!

Morning couch.

I'm so used to getting up "early" for the bus that I woke up before my alarm and couldn't get back to sleep. Oh well... it usually takes me a couple of days to "adjust."

It will be so nice not to have to ride the bus today. Less stress for me.

I'll be in and out for a bit, until it is time to leave for work. Hope everyone has a decent day.

Ugh - I did not sleep at all last night, and all I am thinking about now is quitting both the group and regular t. I just don't know if I am up to all of it anymore. Maybe I should try to fight the urge, but even if I do the thoughts of quitting will still be there. How long can I fight it for? For other things in my life the answer is not long. I'm confused and rambling this morning. Sorry. I need to get moving. There are council elections today, and I would like to vote before work.

Have a good day all.

hey all i got up thismorning and realized i never got a reminder call yesterday.maybe i dont have to go today. but i remember asking her if she will be here today and she said yes

Gorgeous!

The blanket is beautiful, Art! Thanks to you and the other people on here talking about patterns and where to find them, I now have that pattern and several others. I've started a wave pattern blanket in ocean colors for my son to take to college with him this fall. It's been nice to have something to do to soothe myself because these last few weeks have been really stressful.

I thought of all of you this morning, and stopdog in particular. I am making an eclair cake from a friend's recipe because my whole family loved it when my friend made it. Usually, I like to make stuff from scratch, but this recipe calls for Cool Whip. So I was really laughing to myself this morning as I thought about the fact that I was MAKING vanilla pudding -- actually cooking it and not just using the instant stuff -- and then mixing it with Cool Whip to use in the cake. For some reason, that struck me as really very funny.

Cool Whip always makes me think of ya'll.

lol mkac...I made some orange "cream-sickle" cupcakes a few weeks ago, and the recipe was similar...mix your home made frosting with cool whip for the filling. ROFL. I didn't have cool whip so I squirted half a tube of K-Y intimates in there....

Good luck with T today Granite. Think of cool whip.

Lola...when h and I separated I felt so lonely. But I felt lonely in the marriage too. I am so sorry you have to sell your home as well. It's like your loosing too much at once. Please be kind to yourself, and do little things to self soothe. Manicures, hot baths, new clothes, mudding...etc.

It is a bunch at once... I'm treading water at best and something has to give shortly.

I hate that I live by no one. I need a hug, human touch...someone to hug me till I can relax. Tears are welling up today... a few fall and I'm able to pull it back together.
