Couch 75

Worse than laundry--ironing!!!!!

Grrrr! I'm angry, and rightly or wrongly that anger attaches itself to Madame T.

W and my first date was to see this movie. We haven't been to another movie since (except for kids movies). She claims I misrepresented myself. Oh well.

John Deutschendorf tribute.

In what way?

As a moviegoer. It's a running joke.

You know what I hate doing? Breaking my arm. I've never done it before and I don't recommend it.

Oh no! An equestrian accident?

I say that your presence here on PC validates you and your selection of this movie. Does she not realize we are all waiting for you to drop off the married tree??

As for me, i have prepped for the apartment maintenance guy to come in to switch over the air conditioning unit. Please note the lack of panic . And tomorrow i go see the dermatologist - i so hope he fixes my poor little mouth. I think i told t this last time i had such an attack - i thought getting old would mean like blowing an engine, not getting nickel and dimed to death. But i am grateful its only my lips.

Yes, I do not mind laundry, but I despise ironing.

Mkac- I broke my wrist and it was not fun. Sorry about your arm.

Did bag balm work on your lips?

I don't think I ever do that

Fortunately I have been lucky enough to have NEVER broken a bone in my life.

Ah, but she still married you.

No it pretty much just makes me look like a monkey's SHINY heiney, instead of just a regular red baboon butt face. But im looking forward to trying it on other parts of my body, when i get this monkey off my back. Right now i just try to distract myself. I could really use some bonbons (or some oxy) but i have a blood test tomorrow. So im gorging on PBS - miss marple etc.

Are you OK?

I don't mind laundry, because my apartment has a washer and dryer hookup, so I have my own machines right in my bathroom. It's convenient, and I can do laundry at my leisure. Plus, all utilities are included in my rent, so I don't have to pay for water use or heating, nor the electricity. I feel blessed. If I had to go to the laundromat, I would detest doing laundry.

I'm one of those weird folks who doesn't mind ironing. But I always did like what other people considered "tedious" tasks, probably because I could daydream while doing them.

Hope your doc figures out how to help. Have you ever tried coconut oil?

Anyone on this couch inspired to do my homework for me? Remember: helping others is therapeutic...

Yeah, it was a horse accident. Just one of those things. I will be fine relatively soon.

Well we are all here for you.

MKAC...sorry to hear about your arm... I'm glad you didn't have to have surgery or anything to set it. I hope you aren't in too much pain. Thinking of you...

I think the solution is antibiotics. And painkillers. I didnt think lips could ITCH!!! and now i have to fast for my blood test, so i'll be itchy AND cranky. No wonder t doesnt want to see me til wednesday! I am not a good patient. Not without candy or drugs.

So here I am.. after a fairly stable two months, here I am back to the place where I see no hope, no future, etc. T and I texted back and forth a bit this afternoon, and he assured me that we working on this pattern of being fine and dipping back to the bottom. When, I saw him on Friday he reminded me that he wouldn't see him next Friday because his practice is moving into their new building on that day, but assured me that I could text if I needed him. When we were trying to figure out what was going on with my daughter and I emailed him to tell him I wouldn't be able to make it in on our regular day as she had a medical test, he said I could see him that afternoon, he texted me to find out if my daughter was ok out of the blue last week.

Remembering all of these times he has been there for me, his encouragement, his sometimes "tough love," him sharing his expertise, his nonjudgmental attitude reminds me of what a great T I have. Like, I truly lucked out. And the thought crossed my mind this afternoon when he told me these were the things we are working on... What if he can't help me? What if I have had the best T on the face of the earth and I just can't be helped. What if I am just wasting his time, my time, and my money? Or- what if he finally decides that I am beyond his capabilities and terminates?
