The Couch 102, Buckle My Shoe!

I would feel badly too!! It's just the worst but I guess better than the symptoms I was having? I guess....

Stressed - i think the teal looks nice with the coral. They're like equal intensity. Then the gray should be a good background.

Sitting at the eyedrs office. I forgot to bring a water bottle.

I feel like a million bucks on prednisone. Except for the headaches since my muscle disorder began I never feel the type of energy I used to where I just want to go run and jump and play except when I am on pred.

It's a fine line though. It helps my body make energy more effectively but doesn't help my muscles use it more effectively because of the fundamental abnormalities in my muscle cells. So I go on relatively high doses for relatively short times to try to manage the worst of the pain and fatigue without causing muscle damage

I love pred.

ETA that my dog has severe arthritis and judicious use of prednisone has kept him happy and mobile for several years now

I have t after work today and i still don't want to go but i know i should. Maybe it's just getting to be time to be done and I'm dragging my feet about separating from her. Hmph. I don't wanna adult about it.

My wife says that since my heart attack I am "very bad at adulting"
I don't think this is actually true since I work very hard at my job.
But I do put off cleaning, laundry, appointments etc in order to have fun now. Because I nearly died when I was 38.

I don't understand why she views this as a bad thing. Everything gets done and I never make her pick up my slack. I would just rather ride my horse til sundown then do laundry at midnight then prioritize chores.

But T is important and you should go

Artemis, I think it's very brave of you that you're going even though you're really apprehensive. Be proud of yourself for that.

I keep waiting for extra energy so I can finally clean but I'm still waiting. I don't doubt pred can be better than the symptoms but it's just no fun for me.

Pretty floor Stressed
I'm thinking painted floors would work very well for little boys who have reflux and questionable pottying skills... In the hopefully not too far distant future when I can get my own place...

I love adulting. It is my favorite thing. I consider adulting to be, among other things, the ability to accept responsibility and consequences for choices- (I love choices)- not follow a certain rigid plan of someone else. I eat popcorn and fruit for dinner if I want but accept that others may not want to join me in my feast or that it may lead to an active intestinal situation that I will have to work around in order to get my dogs walked. I do the laundry at midnight if I want. Adulting is making sure I have clean clothes -to me it is not making sure I do laundry every week at 11 am (for example)

Ice cream for dinner day is a great perk of adulting.

It feels like Friday yet there is another whole day in this wretched week. oy, vey.

Yup.. There's still tomorrow. *bursts out crying*

Next week (come Sunday) I'll be going inpatient for the week for intensive PTSD treatment (3 hours of individual therapy a day). It'll be horrible - spending that much time discussing trauma always is - but I'm looking forward to the "no school" part. Although I'll be taking my school books with me to keep up with homework and because I have 6 tests the week after.
But school is so.. tiring.

Well, first there's the weekend.

This is MY view of adulting. It is actually the reason I can ride and then do laundry at midnight or ignore laundry if I so choose.

However it is not my wife's view of adulting. Her view of adulting is prioritizing everything into "required" categories or "fun" categories and having fun only if and when the required things are done.

Although she was never officially diagnosed I am pretty certain she is Aspie and while obviously I love her....she is kind of rigid about some things.

In her more rigid viewpoint I am constantly bad at adulting because my view of adulting is doing as I please without hurting anyone and accepting the consequences of my choices--and her view is about ticking everything off the "to do" list

My h's definition of adulting is checking off a list too. I think i am finally figuring out what it means for me and growing into it. I need to separate from t though i think.

There is this "my most used words" thing on Facebook. Apparently you click on it and it scans your Facebook stuff and creates a collage of your most used words. I am scared to try it! It might just be a series of expletives. Hahahaha!

I am a much bigger fan of adulting now that my kids do not live with me and I am not feeling responsible for them on a day to day basis. Last night, dinner was ice cream and a glass of wine. Hard to do that when there are teenagers in the house who need to eat in a healthy way.

Art, adulting doesn't have to mean doing it all by yourself

Thanks SD! Being an adult means responsibility but it need not mean conformity. Our society tends to confuse the two.

You should live so long.

Me too! It might reveal rather too much!

That's my goal.

My view of adulting matches SD and BB, but my kids want me to be like BB's wife and Art's husband.

I'm not forgetful, I'm capricious! I do forget to make them meals at mealtimes because I'm not hungry then, but I do great with reminders.

I haven't integrated that Type A into my personality, unless it's considered Type A to be so rigid about remaining flexible.

Wow none of that made sense but it sounded great in my head! Sorry couch.

Waiting on furniture delivery is worse than watching paint dry. Don't want to drag something out and get interrupted mid-mess, so just hanging out alternately in the bathroom and my bed. Grrrrr. . .

Hmmm, adulting is all very well most of the time, but I wish it didn't require having patience with things like the legal system. Or understanding that you're not the center of the universe and your police report takes just as long as everyone else's to process. And yes, your ex will be having the kids this weekend, despite multiple violations of the restraining order.

True. But i do think it's high time for me to at least cut it out with the transferency stuff already... I guess i am just weary of it. Join the club, right?
