Couch 94 - Blowtorches R' Us

Gah - more rain and storms.

Do you ever have so much you need to say but no words to say any of it?

The entire second half of my therapy session was like that yesterday

Petpet just took a sip of water. It's tiny but it's progress. She also was alert and energetic enough to climb all the way up ( about 6 feet) to her little raccoon house in her cage. We don't normally keep her caged up but I am worried about the dogs harassing her while she is hurt. Going up to her house makes me feel like she has a chance to be OK

I'm glad she's making progress, even if it is a little.

Evening couch. I got off CVS 30 minutes early, it was fairly dead after 9pm. Before that I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I went in at 5. There was one other tech there. There was supposed to be 2 others, but one got sent home early do to being sick. The tech that was there when I got there left at 5:30. Thus, from 5:30 on it was only me and the pharmacist. It was fairly crazy too. Being the only tech, I had to run production, drop-off, pick-up, and drive-thru all on my own. I was bouncing around like a ping pong ball. It kept it interesting though.

About to go try to get more of my room clean tonight. And tomorrow before CVS. I need to get the room clean in order to finish pulling crap out of my car (I need space for it).

C does not have camp until the 8th, so next Tues-Fri (since school is out), I will get to watch him in the mornings. I like C. He is cool. I get to watch him the last 2 weeks of summer when there is no camp as well, and the week of Independance Day there is no camp, so I will get to hang with him. He's 17 now. I can't believe how old he is getting.

Well, I need to go TRY to clean some. Hopefully, I will be successful this time.

Bad yak feeling, but I haven't eaten any yak. Thought to be caused by evil spirits, or perhaps a virus. Burping helps.

I hope you start feeling better soon. Evil spirits are a *****.

Does anyone else believe things happen for a reason? That there is no such thing as coincidence?

I'm fairly existentialist in outlook, so no, not really. Unless I'm in the mood to believe otherwise. I'm flexible that way...

Yes, so many times. That's when I write. Everything I can't say out loud, I can write down.

BB, so sorry your raccoon got hurt so badly! I'm glad she's back and that she's doing a bit better now.

No, I do not believe that, but I do believe that it is possible to derive some meaning from almost all things that happen. I'm not very skilled at doing so, but I am better than I used to be before starting therapy, I think.

I've found a very nice photo of my T - I sometimes google his name, like many of us do with our Ts, and he knows I do it and doesn't have a problem with that. Anyway, it makes me feel kind of relaxed and peaceful to look at it.

Hi couch! Raccoon is doing amazing! !! She figured out how to drink from her water bottle during the night . She ate some canned cat food and ice cream this morning though it took her a little while to.figure out to use her hands to break it into little pieces and eat slowly so she could swallow it. She is having a little trouble using her tongue but it was nearly torn off so not surprised there. I am stunned she is doing so well. I.might be a better surgeon than I thought. Only problem is she is now feeling good enough to start trying to remove her bandage pads

Yay racoon!! You are obviously a very good surgeon, BB, I am so impressed! And happy that petpet is doing better!

Interesting questions to read this morning. Even after evolution in my spirituality that's been happening since I moved to Arizona what 6 years ago now, I think i still believe that things happen for a reason.... and I love the idea of synchronicity a la Jung, because it fits right in with things happening for a reason... it makes more sense than mere "coincidence" when I think about it. Maybe it's too early for me to try to explain how I feel about this. But yes. I do believe things happen for a reason and I think this is why synchronicities happen.

BB I am glad to hear that petpet is doing better!

Yay petpet!

Squirrel: thats so great that C is going to camp! Is this his first time? I thought you had him all last summer.

Bipolarartist: not sure if this answers your question, but when i am "in sync with the universe", more coincidences seem to happen and doors open more easily. Like they say that god helps those who help themselves -

I have to admit that the notion of things happening for a reason seems very scary to me.

Hank: No, C goes to camp every summer. It is a day camp for autisitc kids and teens. I would have him in the afternoons after camp last summer some days, but his mom has other people for that this year as I need to be available for CVS and she likes a routine of the same people on set days of the week.

Afternoon, couch.

Well, I said "screw it" to cleaning last night and set my alarm for 8:30am to get up and clean today. What happened? I hit snooze several times and woke up at 11:45am only to say "screw it" to cleaning once more. I decided that if I pull everything out of my trunk later today or in the morning and put the back seat down and load everything back up off to one side of the back of the car, the mini-fridge will fit on the other side. I can attack cleaning this summer. I swear I will. :-)

Have CVS for 4 hours tonight (4:45-8:45). So, I should be able to rest tonight some before dealing with the wild hoodlums on the last day of school tomorrow. Hopfeully I will not get too aggrevated.

Well, I need to go make some lunch or something. I am hungry. And if my body says I'm hungry, I should probably feed it.

Yay! for petpet, BB!

Wild hoodlums! of middle school

Glad the raccoon is rallying thus far.
