Couch 92 Found my shoe

No need for sorries Mast. Sometimes you just need to let stuff out. The couch is the right place for it, we've all been there at one time or another

I had Plans for today... Yeah... Instead I have two sick kids. Yay.
On the up side I had a Serious Talk with the seven year old about her dad. She said some things that surprised me, but made me feel a whole lot better about my decisions moving forward...

I caught a nasty/miserable cold while on my trip last week, pass me some of the honey ones lol! i've never made cough drops before. is it hard?

Hey couch

RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Shakey

How's things?

Good good! Out of the shelter (finally). Working on legal stuff now. The fun never ends, but it's all good
How've you been?

Hey Red!!

i figured out what was causing all the ads to pop up everywhere. some adware thing called cinema-p i think it was. the uninstaller wouldn't even remove it, I had to find and remove all the files from it manually. i don't know how in the world it got on my laptop but my guess is my son installed some "free" thing that he neglected to tell me about. I may start hiding my laptop before I go to work!

No - it is crazy easy.
Recipe: Homemade Honey Lemon Cough Drops with Ginger

I am also big on drinking apple cider vinegar with honey, cayenne pepper and cinnamon when I have caught something off of airplanes.

thanks for posting the recipe. I may give it a whirl!

Ive been wanting tea, and waddya know i woke up with a sore throat and ear and im feverish. Stress cold. I made some red zinger tea. I need cuddles!!

Eta - cuddles was the name of a big slobbery st bernard i once lived next door to, before i began to love dogs.

Hankster, you also need some of SD's throat drops!

SD, I think you should try a version with alcohol in them, ha. Bourbon drops!

now there's a thought!!

I hope you feel better soon, too, Art!

Here is another one that uses essential oils - and because honey loses the good stuff from heating - you can substitute maple syrup for it.

Or just throw a slug of American Honey in some tea with ground cloves and cinnamon.

it was Friday and it was ok . I was not as bad as I had thought I would be . I enjoyed it and I hope I didn't make to much of a spectacle of myself

Good to hear you enjoyed yourself

I need throat drops also . I think I have a sinus infection .my nose eyes and ears seem like they are going to explode

I honestly thought I was going to make a fool of myself but I thnk I did ok and am o after the experience

I am trying to find this article I read that gave examples of client responses that would indicate whether the therapy was being effective or not.

Just when you think T does not care he said that it was distressing to watch me in such distress over the past 6 months. He also jokingly asked me to tell my moods to behave themselves as it takes me 6 months generally to fully recover from an episode.

Was it martha stewart?? Did you meet martha stewart?? arent you glad you didnt bring me??

ok so it's been 2.5 years since I've been in the same room with my t - and now I'm going to be seeing her in person again in 12 days. This is what she has said, anyway. Funny how I have trusted her so much in the past 3.5 years, but I don't think I actually believe that she will be here and I will see her in person again. She said she'll be in town to "tie some things up" and that we can meet while she's here. Either I don't believe her to prevent myself from feeling hurt if she doesn't come, or I believe her that she intends to come but it doesn't really matter one way or the other. Oh who am I kidding, here. I really want to see her one last time!!!! Wish I could have let myself TELL her that last week. Even though she has said we are on an as-needed basis now, I still feel like I'm saying goodbye...

if only my nose would stop running and my eyes and head would stop feeling like they have started on fire
