Couch 82: If you're happy and you know it, be a number!

Granite, are you feeling any better this morning? I wish for your sake, you could see that the behavior and decisions of others are not a reflection of your value as a person. We all know your dad is not the most emotionally healthy of people anyway, so his behavior is reflection of who he is as a person, and not who you are as a person.

oh the poor baby.they just don't understand pain like we do. you are such a good momma. i just woke up .took some meds to knock me out . i have T today so i am hoping i can show her what i wrote in my T journal about it .but not sure i want to talk about it at all.

I have scratched my corneas (both -at the same time) and it was extremely painful. I am sorry to hear about it happening to the kitten.

So, the appointment T insisted on having with me today is cancelled. His receptionist called me and told me he was sick. Usually, T will text or call me himself and tell me. It's frustrating..I am not frustrated because he is sick, he has been sick a lot this fall. I am frustrated that it comes of the heels of a crappy week last week, an appointment that left me angry with him.. and it seems as though his trend of cancelling appointments is peeking again. My first year of treatment with him, he cancelled a lot. Then, he went almost a whole year without cancelling, and now it has been a handful of times. Really, I am frustrated because I had been holding in all that I want to say to him since Friday. Not wanting to email him, but talk to him in person. I am scheduled for Friday.. So, right now I am fighting the urge to email him and let my frustrations out or see if I can hold it in some more and wait until Friday. I don't know.. GAh!!

Healed - that would be frustrating. May I suggest trying actually handwriting out all your anger and grievances at him - not typing and not email. Then regular mail it after a day or so if you still want to send it to him. I suggest this rather than email because handwriting actually (if you believe the studies) does something different in the brain from using a keyboard. Keep it a day or so and revise then mail. Type it up then if your handwriting is bad (the woman has mocked my handwriting so I do type it up at the end before mailing).

Stop, there are a fair number of times I have wanted to punch that woman in the face for you. And granite's T as well. I have been in a very punchy mood lately, but it's getting better.

Did you notice how I did not reference that woman as "your T," Stop? I typed extra letters just for you.

The good thing is I have no problem with telling her in detail how badly she fails me. I would rather type it (although I do hate typing) and have her understand it than keep it handwriting which she claims is illegible. At least this way she cannot claim she could not read it.

I guess it is part of my problem.. When I have a strong feeling, I want people to know it NOW and then acknowledge it. I suppose that isn't always the healthiest way to function, but I learning.

Why should a lawyer's handwriting be any better than a doctor's?

One of my friends had a baby two months ago and keeps posting photos on facebook. She put some current ones on today. I keep thinking this kid will get cuter at some point, but so far, no. I mean, I actually like babies, but DANG, this one is UGLY. Luckily his mother and everyone else we know seems to think he is the most gorgeous thing ever.

My cousin was the ugliest baby I ever saw. He grew into the most handsome young adult you can imagine. There is hope yet!

Haha, ugly babies make me laugh! And I love it that their parents think they're so gorgeous!
SD, frazzles are bacon flavour corn crisps, ummm I love them. Perfect with a pint of ale, in the pub. Which is what I'll be doing tomorrow night.

I think someone who left has come back under a new name. Or a new poster is very very very similar. I would ask but I don't want to out someone who doesn't want to be outted.

... I am not a number... I'm a free man. aka no6 the prisoner

This is why I don't have a fb account.

To everyone frenzied celebratory supportive interpretive dance.

Now I'm going to have to read all the threads. Since SD is not telling.

I think I have the eye infection from wearing my contacts too long. I tell you what happened but I feel sick enough already

I escaped the acute ward but will be checked regularly over the Christmas break

Who am I kidding? I don't have the concentration span to go looking through threads.

lol yes... Some babies are ugly! It's sad, but true. I'm glad others feel the same.

Mine are cute though.

I don't care what anyone says. My son was the cutest baby ever, craniofacial abnormalities and all... New moms are not the most rational people on earth

Pretty sure my T thinks I have a paternal transference. I'm not certain he's wrong either and that's just EMBARRASSING! I mean, dude is almost the same age as me...

OMG I am so furious at my son's band teacher at school right now. He had to make a choice to attend a required meeting that is going to get him a 2 year college scholarship in the field of his choice - over attending his band concert that counted as his final exam. He told the band teacher ahead of time that he would have to miss the concert, because of the importance of this meeting and his FUTURE, and she said too bad so sad basically you get a zero which will make his grade a C. Now after we've been to the meeting we find out that he can't have any C's or below to be in the program for the scholarship. So he is screwed now. He didn't TELL me that he had to make this decision until tonight. Now I am sick to my stomach that no matter what he would have done, he would have screwed his future. Take the final keep your A, don't go to the meeting and don't get the scholarship. Skip the final and go to the meeting, lose the scholarship. This is SO WRONG. I am going to throw up. Trying to calm down and get grounded agian so I can figure out what to do. How in the world can that teacher do this, not give him any alternative for the final? We can't afford college. this was going to be his summer job, and now it's all down the toilet. I am so mad I am shaking. My son just told me a few minutes ago, and I told him to tlak to his school counselor, but I don't thiknk he is going to do it. He just wants to let it go. This is his ****ing FUTURE and I am so angry I want to scream. Thank you for letting me vent.
