Couch 83: In a world where...

I never realised that humans could function with the small amount of sleep I had over a period of weeks with my youngest.

I want to email T.. I am trying to the weigh the pros and the cons of doing so, every once in awhile I get this urge- I want T to know right now that I was upset by his comments. Then, I am like.. oh it can wait. Right now, I want him to know!

Oh this is in regards to my post over the weekend, about T making some remarks that pissed me off and hurt me.

Yeah I spent two months running on 1.5-4 hours of sleep per 24 hours. It's been a month where I was able to sleep more so now I'm not used to it. Plus, I took anxiety meds last night so I'm still feeling that tired effect.

Note to self: if you're going to drink too much wine, don't wash it down with half a jar of peanut butter. (yuck yuck yuck ack pbbt pah)

Ack even with just enough wine rather than too much

<- knows nothing about wine.

I have been thinking about trying to drink wine...but it needs to be sweet-ish... Any suggestions? Sangria?

Reisling. (Rhine wine. "Nein Lives" makes a really nice one.)

Red or white wine, precaryous? (Riesling is white.)

Red, I think, Mastodon.

I like Rioja wines, personally. Amarone is a wonderful wine with food, but it is expensive. Roodeberger is popular - a little lighter but not too light, I think.

I think the lack of sleep is really destructive long term. Have you tried sleep training the babe?

T and I were laughing today that I get to be special to him because I am the first person in 25+ years that he has been a therapist to have confessed to a phobia about Mr. Rogers.

Healed, how is the kitten?

Omg...I am afraid of Mr. Rogers, too! I used to hide behind my parents huge speakers when I was a child and his show would come on. It's so funny he told you about that!

I may have worded that awkwardly. *I* told him that *I* had a phobia about Mr. Rogers. No one had ever told him about a Mr. Rogers phobia before.

The high, piping, innocent yet insistent speech of my six-year-old nephew gets on my nerves. That and his English accent.

Oh, oops...sorry I misunderstood! I did used to think I was the only one and I used to feel silly about it. But those creepy sweaters (shudder)...

It's not my baby girl that keeps me up generally. I'm fortunate that she has been a decent sleeper since she was 3 weeks old. She has been waking more often lately to eat, but if that's what she needs then I need to just accept it.

Last night it was anxiety and such keeping me up for the first part of the night. The fact that my kids were both up at the same time super early is an anomaly.

Come on guys, BE CHATTY! I am all discombobulated and nauseous after therapy. I need some friendly chit chat to read. I am not up to an actual conversation with anyone in my real life. I would like to sit and read friendly or friendly-ish chatter among people I like. Instead, my sisters are bombarding me with texts. They are not texts TO ME even. they are fighting with each other and cc'ing me. I keep reminding each of them that our mother is a lying liar attention ***** who is telling each of us a different story to set us at odds with each other so she feels in power. They each keep responding with 'yes I know that BUT ...' followed by some awful thing our mother has said the other one did or said. Now I am responding to all texts with ":-(" It seems to be covering all situations that are arising.

So, friendly chatter, anyone?

I can for a bit before I go back to work!

What I don't like is arguing over Facebook. Gah, too public!!!

Anyhoo lots of people at work lately seem to have cats or kittens up for adoption. One was a purebred Main Coon kitten, orange tiger no less.

Must resist!!!1 Can't afford more pets right now!! One is plenty!! But so hard to resist. Puppy season is coming too.

Another Rioja lover! hurrah! There is nothing like a nice tempranillo . One thing I loved about Spain -- cheap wine that is actually delicious.

Hope y'all are well. I, too, feel like a sleep-deprived husk of my former self... caught a stomach bug last week that caused all sorts of unpleasantness. Nothing like shoving your half-comatose husband awake at 3am to hand him a screaming baby so you can vomit for the 3rd time since midnight. Just recovering now.

Feel better, Sally. And yes, Rioja is a good thing :-)

mkac, I'm suffering from a bit of a T hangover, too. However, let's not talk about that. Here's an online comic I've come to love recently: BREAKING CAT NEWS » Your latest cat news on cat happenings.

Died in the night then I got home from work today and there is another one won't nurse, won't root around.. Tried feeding it the special kitty formula but won't do it. I don't understand! Momma gave birth to 5, one I think must have been still born, or something because it was still in the placenta thing when we found her. So three from the litter die in the first 48hrs, is that normal?
