Couch 55...And on it goes....

MKAC gets 785.3 tredecillion points for eating breakfast. (I gave you extra for not puking)

Chickie, I'll give you 346.9 undecillion points for having your blood sugar under 200. I'll double that if you eat healthy today too!

Good morning, couch peeps!

Granite - Way to go, with the lower blood sugar! Woot woot!

Wiki - I hope the chest pains subside soon!

RTS, MKAC and the rest of the couch peeps - Hi!

It's raining again. No fun taking the trash and recycle out to the curb during a storm. Gotta hop in the shower and get to my assignment. I'm not looking forward to driving to this city - and it's not a good part of that city either - in the rain - to a place that I'm not familiar with. It's the kind of area where you lock your doors before entering and don't make eye contact with anyone.

Hope everyone has a great day!

we will see about the eating healthy.so far today egg beaters and kiwi for breakfast .and tea with (don't read wiki) splenda

i did loose a little less then 1 lb this week so far .not much but it is a start to keep me a bit motivated

MKAC now lets go for a healthy lunch. any chance of that when at work.i am thinking of cantaloupe.i cant believe how few calories are in that

cantaloupe is a good start, add some protein to that. Hard boiled egg, walnuts, Zeek toast, chickpeas.....

And seriously, get rid of that splenda crap! lol

be safe MUE....

I have to get moving. Need to clean.

Be back later.

I have applied for 6 jobs in the last 3 days.. I am so sick of online assessments, I am hoping I get a call from somebody!!! Happy summer break to me, NOT!

I've gotta start eating healthier too.....I remember the days of me going to the gym faithfully, every single day, and feeling badly when I missed a day. I was SO motivated back then. *sigh* This morning, I was winded just by taking out the trash and recycle. Ack.

Lately, I've been eating way too many carbs - pasta, especially. I remember switching to wheat and whole grain pastas....and now I'm back to eating regular pasta because it's what I like. BAD.

I have some grapes in the fridge, but I can't eat that in the morning because it causes my sugar to spike and then crash. I think I'll have a veggie sausage patty. Gotta eat something so I don't pass out at the assignment.

Gotta go!

guess ill go on a cleaning spree today also.i got my girl comming to do my nails at 2 so i guess i'm not going to the beach at all today grrrrr thought it was next week she was comming oh well guess i'm home cleaning then.

you kind of know what sux.i use to have T at 5 so i had a lot of the day free before T now i have it at 3 on tuesdays .so now on T days i cant go to the beach before and then get back home before T.it was a great distraction .oh well .

guess it it time to put on the music ,sing ,dance and clean like the mail man wont see me

Granite, I brought some stuff for lunch. Wikid don't read this [psst, Granite, it's those frozen dinners that claim to be 'healthy' and low calorie.] I wish I had cantaloupe!

At work and sighing as I look at all the stuff on my desk. I also have to re-fill out some flight information for my daughter's summer program so they can pick her up at the airport. I did it once online, but they say I have to call now and give it to them over the phone, and I cannot find the piece of paper it is printed out on. Maybe I'll just go find the online form I filled out and read that to them.

So when I see ex T for this council focus group thing I'm kind of hoping she asks to see me again. I know it's needy and unreasonable of me but I miss her and I need her support again with the psychosis coming back. I just don't want to ask her as I don't want to come across as needy urghhh therapy is such a mind field

Gads...I am going to have to repossess your points.

noodlzz...mine field is the perfect description. Ugh. Good luck!

Here's my thought for today:



Feeling tired already and it's only Monday morning.

I need help. I have been dealing with this very awkward, rude and sometimes mean 13 yr old, and I am just now realizing she may in fact be aspergic. She has a lot of the symptoms, but not extreme. Like her social talk is really exaggerated and fake, almost like she is imitating it. She gets really loud, and talks over you when you try to converse with her. She has temper tantrums and is often mean to her younger sister, without seeming to understand why what she does/says is mean. She often inappropriately hugs men, and has really poor hygiene. She tries to pick up kids without getting to know them...all kids that are younger than her, but she obviously isn't good with them. It is like she has a fascination with them, yet not a caring fascination. You can't tell her what to do, she just ignores you...like if I say "please don't kick the wall" she'll look at me like I have two heads, and continue kicking. Meanwhile the white wall is getting big black skids on it. H and I are about to toss her out of band, but then I read an article about asperger's in girls.

((( noodlzzz )))

I can understand wanting ex T to ask to see you again, but it's important for you to be able to ask for what you need. I understand the yucky feelings of being seen as needy - but my T tries to tell me that everyone has needs - it's how we go about getting them met that's important.

He also explained that by being more direct with how we get our needs met, the less the negative connotation of "neediness" applies.

I'm concerned that by you hoping that exT will offer, you may be setting yourself up to feel let down. Your exT can't be a mind reader.

Wow, MKAC. So true! Thanks for sharing!

Wiki, that does sound like a difficult situation. Are you able to talk to her parents?

I'd imagine that a warning won't help at all, since she seems so defiant. Sounds like a bigger issue than any one person can handle without parental and medical involvement.

Back from my assignment....I love it when a 2 hour assignment turns out to be an hour (I get paid for 2 hrs min. anyway). The client was telling me about how to navigate in this city as a caucasian - like, keep to the businesses and don't stray into stores or side streets. Don't look people in the eye. He lives in a bad part of town and witnesses a lot of shootings, muggings and drug busts. He says he just keeps to himself and doesn't go outside if he doesn't need to. Sad, really.

I gotta start some laundry, get to the bank and post office, then to my mom's to take her to a dr's appt....then to a viewing later tonight. Lots to do.

Wiki...is she home schooled or does she go to school? I would expect that if she is truly aspergic that the schools would have notice by now.. perhaps she has a "plan" at school? Now some parents are weird about telling people but I know I've filled out forms for organizations and summer camps, etc.. where they come out and ask if your child has any isses that require an IEP or a behavioral plan at school?

That's one way to find out... Also if this is from the same family that you mentioned... I'm surprised that you don't already have health forms, etc filled out since I believe you said she has other significant health issues....

thanks. There's no way her mother will hear my concerns. Because it's a girl, I guess it is much more difficult to see, and she's not currently dx'd because it's not on her forms. It just changes the way I feel about the kid. Regardless though, H has strict rules for his program, and he can't begin making exceptions no matter what. This isn't a special needs program, he's not equipped for that. Nor does he plan on being. He is not trying to exclude people, but the reason his music program works is because it is so strict.

Have any of you played Geo Guessr? GeoGuessr - Let's explore the world!

I'm an addict. It drops you down someplace in the world, and you have to guess by looking around a bit where you are. I suck at it, but I love it.

Oh...and HEY APT! I just guessed Norway to be Minnesota. Hell if I can tell the difference! Looked like Minnesota to me!

Blech. I decided to watch some of a DVD that we rented, and it triggered some really ugly things for me. Had I known what the movie was about, I probably wouldn't have watched it. My mom will be picking me up in a few minutes to go to her dr's appt....and I really don't want to be around anybody right now...especially my mom. I HATE it when I feel this way.

Time to take a xanax and get through this friggin appt.

I love GeoGuessr, wikid. I've always loved maps and foreign landscapes. Minnesota is too flat to be Norway, I would have thought
