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

I would share my space heater with you if I could...I'm totally addicted to it.

My best friend is on a trip. I am accustomed to emailing or texting with her multiple times a day and feel weirdly lonely without it. Isn't that weird? To be lonely in the absence of emailing? I have people around me in real life.

"People around me" is no substitute for a Best Friend.

Well, they are friends also, but it's not the same, you're right.

All cooking may be chemistry but not all chemistry is cooking.

Not weird, IMO. My 2 closest friends (who are married to each other, conveniently) and I text each other often during the day. And we get together at least once a week for dinner or a glass of wine or whatever. I found out recently they're moving several states away next year for one of their jobs, and I'm dreading the void they will leave once they're gone!

Ugh...Ts have limits.. I know that. That is why I am finding this whole, attach to your T, trust your T, share with your T, etc. a bunch of crap right now.

Yeahhbut i took a math degree primarily because it was a "clean" science - no laboratory classes! Lol. I love the jokes i made before i realized i was a comedian.

(((Shakey))) ikwym. Im SOOOOOO grateful when somebody provides hot food. The dollar menu at macdonalds is truly a happy meal. But preferably guiltless.

Last night i dreamed my mother said she was going to italy for thanksgiving, she already had plane tickets. I thought in my dream, well they dont really have thanksgiving there, but im not gonna be the one to tell her! Our dream relationship is improving in that i am standing up to her - t says thats a good sign.

I kinda think it's a bunch of crap sometimes, too.

Feel pretty bad today. Lately. T on vacation. Smileys everywhere to compensate.

Just wondering what the law is over in the US with regards to mental illness and driving. The pdoc I saw the other day said not to drive because of meds, but didn't say anything about a mental illness, where the person has poor insight into their behaviour and drives. She only said penalty for driving on medication.

I have meds that make me drowsy, but I've never been told not to drive. They just slap a label on the side that says "Don't drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how this drug affects you." I can take 0.25mg of Klonopin and be okay, but even then I avoid driving if I need to take it.

I try to avoid my drowsy drugs during the day since you can still get in trouble driving drowsy.

If you're anything like me (and I rather think you are ), you value quality over quantity in relationships.

Baby mouse update. They seem to "play" a sort of King of the Hill game, where one of them will sit on rock with a piece of wood shaving while trying to avoid the other mice taking th ewood shaving from it. The one who takes it from the other mouse will push the former king off the hill. Its quite entertaining.

Isnt that something. I think its something in you that they (ie animals) clue into, or that you notice. Some people have it (i think i do), some dont. I dont know what "it" is exactly.

I'll anthropomorphise anything, Hank. I like observing everything. Which reminds me I must get a life.

Re the title of this thread: I am happy (had a great T session and am feeling light as a helium balloon) but I am not a number - I am a free man! (6 points to anybody who gets the reference)

Somebody else said that here a while ago and i think it just went over everyones heads - but they didnt offer points for getting it! Its making sense now but i still dunno. Eta - i am glad youre feeling better

You are number six.
I'm not a number, I'm a free man.

Wish I had some mice.

Tng - the borg - Hugh?

Nah.
Though now I'm thinking of a different number seven, number two (boomer!) and number five. Miss that, might watch it again this weekend.

Dr who!......

Nope, not dr who. Different 1960s British TV show. But I don't think it's possible to guess unless you know what it is... and if you do know what it is, you recognise the phrase.


(six points and a striped umbrella to Red75!)

I get patrick macgoohan and the avengers guy mixed up plus my nose is really stuffed today

You know, people have always told me I think too much (I've always said that other people think too little) and tonight I can't even stop thinking about thinking.

Anxious. I don't know why.
