Couch 67 - Keep calm, carry on, and have a cup of tea.

Grrr and more grrr.

Did that help?

Okay.... I know there are bigger things to worry about like what am I going to do with younger son if he has off and older son has school? Or why can't I log into my work's servers which means I can't work from home tomorrow? but all I'm thinking about is ...I hope T doesn't get canceled tomorrow. It isn't till 8pm so I'm hoping it will all be cleared up by then.

hello...

How was the book club?

I totally understand that, RTS.

Well, it's 11pm here. I am usually in bed by now, but I don't have C tomorrow morning (I normally do on Mondays), so I stayed up later than usual.

I probably should log off though and go to bed, so I won't be exhausted tomorrow. We have a sub in the EBD class because the teacher has training to attend. I need to be not tired/cranky to deal with the "little devils" since they are always 10 times worse when we have a sub.

Night couch.

I hope everyone has a good night and sleeps well. Unless, of course it is daytime where you live...then I hope you have an exciting and good day.

It went well, good food, good conversations, and even some laughing! It was very up lifting for me.. Feel really guilty about going, but I am glad I went.

Hey couch peeps.....I have been working my tail off all weekend for a client in the hospital. I was supposed to finish my shift at 5 PM today but because of the snow storm, the person who was supposed to relieve me wasn't able to make it. Long story short, I am pulling a 24 hour shift. I got here at 7:45 AM this morning and will be leaving at 8 AM tomorrow morning. I am counting down the time - only 8.75 hours to go. ** YAWN **

I am hoping the roads clear up for my drive home. And I hope I feel awake enough to make the trek home.

I think it is good you went and got to laugh. I wish taking care of oneself was not guilt producing as it would seem to me to be better for everyone in the long run.

MUE...do you have to sit in a hard chair outside their room for the next 8 hours?

Actually, I just switched out the hard chair that I was using for the first 15 hours with one of the more comfortable chairs. But yes, I will be out in the hall for the next 8 hours. It'll go fast, though, cuz I'm on the computer.

I'm a bit bummed out, though, because my client really wanted me to be with her during a procedure she's having tomorrow. Because of the predicament due to the weather, I swapped out my shift tomorrow in order to be here overnight. She was so upset that I won't be here tomorrow - but I can't pull a 35 hour shift.

Well I'm off to bed... I'll need to get up early to see if I need to get up and take my older son to school tomorrow. Younger son doesn't have school so I guess he will have to go to work with me.... since I have to report even during storms and he can't stay home by himself...

I'm hoping we are at least on a two hour delay.

woot!

I'm doing my CBT homework-- making a big map of google maps printouts of where I feel safe driving--all in a 10 mile radius. So sad. I hope he can help me with this!!!!

gotta find scissors and tape.

17 hours down....7 hours to go.

(((( YAWN ))))

I totally just did that - yawned. I hope my second wind comes soon.

Why do I always panic when I ring the house multiples times and no-one answers? They have probably gone out shopping. Stupid abandonment issues.

((( BPA )))

18.5 hours down.....5.5 hours to go....

OMG, I am so stinkin tired. My feet are burning, and I'm starting to get restless legs. ACK. I took my boots off for about 5 minutes. I think I'm going to pace up and down the hall for a bit. I would love to take a 10 minute break and go outside...but it's raining and probably not very safe.

I don't dare to check my threads in case there's an unsympathetic response.

(((( CE ))))

I totally understand that. When we're in a vulnerable place, it's hard to hear difficult feedback.

I think PC has become harsher about feedback. Am being taunted a bit on another forum but I refuse to take the bait.

The couch is still pretty friendly though!!

It's very rare that I respond to a thread nowadays. Sad, really - especially when I think back to the times when I used to post on most threads and even start my own.

3.5 hours left.....Gawd, I hope these last few hours pass by quickly.

I just found out that my daughter has 1/2 days of school this week which means that she will be getting off the bus only a couple hours after I get home. After working a 24 hour shift, I'm going to need to catch some zzz's....

just came home from shopping. After a year i finally realised that i can buy whatever i want and i don't have to listen to my ex complaining that i bought avocados and jarlsberg cheese, because i'm the only one who eats them. wow. i can't believe he had me convinced that i was selfish for buying stuff.

(((MUE))) Keep safe and well.
