Couch 56...Getting Back to our roots

lol it is a bit overcast here. it is supose to be cooler and maybe some rain. i hope so because i have a bunch of corn planted that totally needs watering

yea, and rain is totally better than dragging the hose out there...lol.

I am thinking it's going to rain here as well. Sux, because I was hoping for some salt water swimming today.

What are you up to?

I have the kid this afternoon, and I may have to do a doc appt with my mother.

i have to go to the bank and that is it . my husband was so funny about that .he was like .i have asked only one thing for you to do today ,go to the bank and deposit this check don't fail.i asked him if it all didn't make it in to the bank would that be considered a failure he didn't answer

Good morning. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and it is all up from here...

Today is the day.. T e-mailed me at about 12am and we confirmed directions to the place. We will be meeting between 3:30-4. I am gonna bring the kids for a bike ride, then head into my classroom to keep my mind off of things until then.

yea, if H gave me a deposit, for sure some would be missing, as there's a Starbucks in route to the bank.

Our county fair started this weekend. I am working it on Thurs.

Ready...I want that to be true...for you and I both!

Healed I'm glad you have a plan for distraction...I'll be thinking of you!

wiki you are working the rescue booth right ??? sounds like fun

Nothing I try to say comes out right.... Oh well off to work

Morning all....

ll be thinking of you healed.

I don't go back to work til Wed.... I am sooo bored

My schedule is all screwed up this week because I have a bunch of court hearings and a deposition. While my dad and FIL were ill, I revamped my practice so I did mainly research and writing. As I am transitioning back to what I used to do, my time in court and depositions keeps increasing. I have a scheduling conference hearing tomorrow during my normal T time, so I have T tomorrow afternoon, and then court after. I have evening court this week during the time we usually have MC, so we're seeing him today at 10.

T in between doing attorney type things is going to be tough for me. The dissociative thing kicks in for me in court and I am very cool, emotionless and logical. Feelings are not at all connected with what I do (usually - there have been exceptions lately). So it will be tough to do a scheduling hearing, T, then a criminal trial. One time when I had to do T and then court, I brought my suit with me to change after T to help me transition - change clothes, change of mind set. One time I just went to T in my suit and that didn't work as well for me. Just not sure if I want to change in the middle of the day.

And we need to leave for MC in about half an hour and I have not started getting ready and H is still in bed.

I find NOT being in business attire helps me too get in touch with troubled me too... Sorry your schedule is going to be jacked this week. I bet you kick A S S in court....

Sorry Couch persons. I didn't realize how I came across. I shall attempt to refrain as best as I can in the future..

You can join me on the island of misfit toys...

I don't know what you mean. Your posts sounded fine to me (not happy, but certainly not inappropriate)

Or me on Mars.

Or rather on the other side of Mars from me - we don't want to crowd each other.

I think I like the Island Of Misfit Toys already-------sounds like Home. ("once upon a time in a land far away...)

seem like every day i have off from work i get a call asking if i will come in and take a different day/shift off----usually don't mind but lately it is sooo common, i want a day that is Really off; so, for the first time (in this job) i am not calling back to say yea or nay, i need to pretend the message never was heard....working on that.
this job, i am Not on call for after all....
cloudy, looks like rain---the cats are curled aside me and being here is just fine for now, i can see out the window screen to my great silver maple whose leaves gently undulate...await the coming storm.

seems like i mean, hate having lost the "edit" "hugs" and "thanks" options, hope it is temporary.

I'm sitting here on my lunch hour making a list of all the things I'm going to do to my son's room this week. Tonight I believe I will start with his book shelf. He's going into 5th grade and there are still some Dr Suess books on there... I will box up the classics... I have a bin for classic grand kids stuff and the rest of the chapter books will go to my sister who is an elementary teacher for her classroom library.

winter4me...sometimes you have to refresh the page to get the edit reply thanks and hugs to show up...

winter you just need to refresh your page and they will be there

I made Bins for both girls and over the years added stuff like trophies, books, clothing etc... then when they grew up and moved out they got the bins.

I didn't know I sounded so "sympathy seeking"...

I don't think you sound sympathy seeking. I also didn't see anyone say that to you?
