Couch 97: Prime Pyramids

Perhaps, but it's a far too common thing in real life too:/

I need to do laundry and bring out the trash. Don't want to. I just want to hide in the house today:/

Finally dragged myself to urgent care. It sucks that the cost of going to UC will cost much more than the $10 pack of antibiotics that I truly needed.

(Ear and sinus infections -yay.)

I don't like lemonade with cookies - the combo is not good to me. Lemonade, to me, goes with salty, and milk or tea goes with cookies

growly i hope you feel better

There was also tea. I had tea. I had fun! We made plans to get together again. The husband made a great cookie with date paste rolled in walnuts. He said the date-coconut one was even better. I said i wanted to try the recipe with dark chocolate mixed in for health reasons. This other woman almost did a spit take. That made me happy.

Does anybody else have a hard time continuing taking meds? I never seem to be able to take meds for more than a couple of months at a time and I am not sure why I just stop taking them. I do it with psych meds, with allergy/asthma meds.. etc.

Now, I am going to get up.. and put the damn Lexapro in my mouth!

I usually don't take all antibiotics which are the only meds I ever take.

Husband wants to get frisky but 4-year-old daughter is calling for me...guess we'll have to wait a bit...

Hankster - glad the gathering went well.

This is totally TMI... but I'm a horrible wife because I was telling H that we could get it on. But really I'm too sleepy, and he realized that. So now I'm back down on the couch thinking about what an awful wife I am...

Not horrible.. Just not in the mood! That's ok!

MY EX IS NOT MOVING BACK TO HIS HOME TOWN TO LOOK AFTER HIS AGING PARENTS. yES i KNOW i AM SHOUTING. i AM VERY VERY ANGRY!!

Morning, couch.

Well, I was too tired after I got home last night to clear off my bed, so I just pushed everything to one side to sleep on the other. I will try to find places for the "keep" items today before I leave for my interview.

Trash and recycling have been taken out. Now just to wash dishes and vacuum. Vacuuming will have to wait until housemates are awake.

Pharm manager should be back from his mini-vacation today, so the schedule for 2 weeks out should be posted. That way I can let C's mom know what days I am available to watch C that week.

Summer is coming to an end fast. I applied to a couple more special education jobs at elementary schools this morning. Maybe I will get some interviews for them. I am hoping today's interview is genuine and not one of those "common curteosy" interviews since I am already a school board employee. My step-dad used to be a principal in the county before he retired and sometimes the school board would make him interview someone because they were already in the system even if he did not think they were qualified when he looked over their resume. School board "politics".

Thinking good thoughts for your interview squirrel!

Well I've been laying in bed watching the clock since 3:30 am not able to go back to sleep, it is now 5 am my time and I guess I may as well just get up and shower and get my day started. It's going to be a long day. I wish I knew what is going on with me. The emotional fragile-ness seems to have come back and I feel like the next time I start crying I might not stop for a week. I have t on thursday and already want to cancel because I don't know how to talk about this whatever it is. I'm sorry to be a downer this morning.

So....I have therapy at 10:30. My partner has a doctor appointment In the same town ( 40 minutes from our house) at 10. So it makes no sense to take two cars and waste gas when we are already going to be working together the rest of the day after. Plus our truck isn't tgat b reliable. So I am going to be dropped off at T nearly an hour early. I think I'm going to get there about the same time my T does. I feel like an idiot. It's pretty built up around her office but I don't really know where to go. I guess I could go to RE I and look around but it's hot here and that's like a mile and a half walk from T. Feel so stupid even though it makes perfect sense to do it this way

I don't have any advice but I am dreading T this morning because I feel equally fragile

(((artemis)))
(((BB)))

My t is so good to me. This too confuses me. I emailed her last night sending some work I had done with a previous dream to talk about thursday, and also mentioned that I'd been feeling so emotionally fragile lately. I didn't see her reply til this morning cuz I went to bed early last night, but she said that we didn't have to wait til thursday and that i should just call or text and that she was available today. i don't know if i'm ready to talk about it today. but if she's available i should probably. oh i don't know.

(((BB)))

Good morning couch, wishing everyone well as they tackle Monday.

I could use some good luck myself, MIL still in hospital, infection has spread to bloodstream, will be visiting again in a few hours. She's feeling improved but needs to kick the infection to get home.

And my asthma is not cooperating with treatment, or maybe treatment is not cooperating w/me. I feel worse on the steroids and inhaler than I did before, though....

I suppose, being in the hospital all weekend, not sleeping much or well, tending my dd who got sick from the stress and everyone else because they need the support and then drowning in air conditioning because it's near 90 here, an unheard of heat wave that's been dragging on forever.... might be contributing too. SIGH.

My bright spot is supposed to be time for therapy today. She almost cancelled on me, thinking I was cancelling on her when I updated her. No no no no no. I even hired a babysitter, I want my therapy.

We're supposed to watch a movie, I'm trying to think through the logistics- do we keep each other on the phone... I like hearing her voice and being able to chat a bit, or do we do it via Skype, perhaps easier and more comfortable. My throat hurts so much too I don't know if I can talk, woke up feeling worse. Am trying hot lemon tea, may sneak in a steamy bath and throat drop, hoping for the best, it hurts so much, ugh.

Ugh I know what you mean about awkard. Before I could drive, was at the mercy of bus schedules, so it was often very early or not at all.

If she's in a big office complex or near some, perhaps they have a Starbucks in one of the atriums?

I forgot there was a nice park about half a mile down the road. I went for a nice walk

Hello everyone! I'm feeling especially chipper this afternoon, seeing as I got next to no sleep last night. I'm passing out hugs to the entire Couch, so if you don't want one, duck! SD you are getting an un-hug, as I know your ACK feelings about them.

I'm feeling pretty much like Healed, I keep forgetting to take my meds. I'm fighting with my insurance company about paying for one of them, and I'm hit or miss about taking any of them on time/every time. I hate it, because I know I feel better when I do it right, but I sleep late or forget to refill my purse-pill-box, then I'm without until 6:00 pm, which messes me all up.

I've still yet to buy that darn DBT workbook, I think my appointment is tomorrow, I'll get a spanking for not doing my homework!

I hope you all have a better day!

So i texted t about talking today and now I'll be calling her after work. I'm not in the depression spiral anymore so i could've waited til thursday but I'm still super emotional and still don't know why. When she replied w a time i couldn't help myself i texted back "thank you (audible sigh of relief)" cuz i just felt so physically relieved...!

Could use hugs. Movie session a big disconnect. Of course, she didn't get it. Didn't even see the ending because she thought it was already over. I forgot I didn't originally like it myself until the 2nd watching, and while I thought we'd Skype watch or phone watch.... she had us watch the whole thing separately. WTH.

I almost just told her I quit therapy.

Can I sit in the leaky boat with the other emotinally fragile folks? I have to go see my MIL in the hospital now and face the absolute ****ing truth about the lack of control I have in this universe and I DON'T WANT to.



It was a good movie, and a bad session.
