Couch 92 Found my shoe

I will be fine. It is just annoying i probably need to get in a bar fight or cage wrestling or play rugby - something where I just get the crap beat out of me as I fight back.

Staying home today. I felt sick all day yesterday and pushed myself through it, but I refuse to do that again today. Going to stay home and let whatever this crud is work itself through.

I need to not be sick this weekend. Major church event on Saturday (dedication of our youth camp) and reaudition for chorus on Sunday. Must NOT lose my voice; it needs to work overtime this weekend. I do think we will bow out of church choir rehearsal tonight. My son has had this crud since last weekend (thank you, son) and isn't completely 100% yet, and I think I need to just rest the vocal cords today.

I hope you feel better soon, Chris!

We lost a lot when we abolished trial by combat.

I hope the crud passes quickly. I spent an unpleasant week with it. It is not fun. Good to take the time to give your body a rest.

I canceled the appointment for next week and then the woman will be gone for a couple of weeks. That has helped the level of tension some. My jaws and hands ache because I have been keeping them clenched without realizing it.

Facing a bunch of deadlines at work and can't seem to concentrate/motivate myself. My usual Wednesday T appt was bumped til Friday and I feel off. I'm a creature of habit and it's weird to have that gap in the middle of the day today.

On the upside, it's glorious outside, all the trees are blooming, and I'm going to bust out the grill this weekend and clean it up to get it ready for grilling season while drinking a few wheat beers in the process.

Grill season has begun here also

Good morning everyone. I think I'll revive the "good things that happened in therapy" thread. Last night was so eye-opening, my progress was real and calculable. It's more than a little impressive how different my life is today than it was one year ago! Still feeling down occasionally, but I feel like I had dropped out of life back then.

SD hope you're feeling better soon. Your descriptive post last night really made me smile!

This is not a good week. And it is almost Friday.

This William Shatner cover of Pulp's "Common People" is so good I can't stand it. How have I never heard it before? If I wasn't in a quiet office with my headphones in, I'd be blasting it as loud as possible, fist pumping and yelling "yeah!!!" while Shatner rants:

*passes Mast a wheat beer*

I successfully cleaned my kitchen today and added an extra layer of toddler proofing. A clean kitchen makes me feel better.

Cannot wait for this week to be over. Sincerely hoping that being outside all weekend will bring some relief from this depression. Looking forward to a riding trip with a friend and yesterday was the first morning in what seems like MANY weeks that I woke up feeling kind of happy and excited, thinking about riding. That lasted for a little while anyway before the gray took over again.

Have to go home and clean the kitchen and cook meals for the weekend. When I am depressed, no one cleans the kitchen and it is really awful.

Mine, too. Then I start to have anxiety because it's so disgusting and will take so many hours to fix. So I give up and go back to bed.



I would come help you clean if I lived close enough!

ahhhh! You're so nice, SM!

Hi couch! I'm back! Will catch up after I get home. Waiting for my flight in the st. Louis airport. Ready to get back to my desert!!

Got my youngest daughters school report. I need to have a parent interview with two of her teachers. I hate these interviews my mind wanders and the teenager comes out inme. I will do my best to concentrate and be constructive.

omg I have the chance to do something that should be awesome this weekend . I have been asked if I want to work a big scrap convention with a scrap celebrity . omg she has never seen me and omg I am scared of what she is going to think when she does . am I insane for wanting to do this . I am getting paid a lot of money to meet someone awesome and do something I love . but what will she think of me . im scred but im like a school girl with a crush

That's pretty rad, granite! You gonna do it?

Also I just ate a burrito the size of my head and washed it down with a few IPAs. I'm not sure I've ever felt so stuffed in my life. Walking to the bus stop was a chore, lol. But it came with guacamole, and guacamole it the best.

trigger warning for use of the B word

yes but im scared I should be so excited. I guess I am and the fear will go away after I meet her and see things are ok

Eh, don't worry about how you should feel. I'd be nervous meeting any bigwigs in my industry! It's pretty normal to feel that way, IMO

Yay Art! I had a random dream about you last week. Your range was on fire... Yeah, it was weird
