The Couch: 103 — The Non-Palindromic Couch

I have an ex who is now a licensed counselor. She was the most batshit crazy person I ever dated. I also know someone who is studying online to be a counselor because they cannot leave their house and they live in filth. I see examples all the time of people who say they are going to become therapists and they seem completely out of control.
It is quite scary to think that, should it actually happen, it will also happen that some clients will idolize these people. I only hope no one is irreparably harmed.

Sewing bridesmaids dresses and making complicated quilts is SO much easier than measuring and cutting 12 foot lengths of canvas for slipcovers for my gargantuan sofa. I just gave up for the night. Will this renovation ever be finished? Hopefully not; that means more time lying in a stupor watching horrible tv and contemplating my life. Being up and creative is better than this how?

Good night/early morning couch!

Argh!
That useless pile of excrement that I somehow married and had kids with is just after texting me a bunch of long-winded crap basically saying that he only wants one of the kids for the weekend.
I. Am. Going. To. Slaughter. That. F-er.

Yuck. Apparently the Doctor Who christmas special will have River Song in it....where's the vomit emoji? I never liked alex Kingston even in ER.

I am feeling quite panicky at the moment. The girls have gone to their dads and it really quiet wthout them and the dog and the guinea pigs, especially the guinea pigs. Guinea pigs have this terrible need to communicate, very loudly, even when they are right next to each other

T said i should store all my stuff in the Tardis during the inspection. Hes so helpful. It was a doorstop suggestion. That was after i asked him if he was gonna come over to help. Hes like, i cant squeeze in the front door remember? Im like, well get in the tardis and set it for the middle of the room! After all, hes the doctor!.

Awww, I love Alex Kingston.. I am re-watching ER right now and enjoy her character very much! I have never seen Doctor Who, so I can't comment on her role in that though!

So, I have been thinking... I posted recently about the theme of Self-sabotage. I read up on it, and sure subconsciously I might be doing this, but I also read up on Self-Preservation and I feel like that is what I am doing. So, I wonder where the line is between self preservation and self sabotage? I suppose that is a question for T.. but its something I am thinking over right now.

1 concert down; 12 more to go. Off to rehearsal for the church concerts this morning. I am NOT awake. Is sleep-singing a thing?

I have my collection of Handel's Messiah versions, Bach's Christmas Oratorio versions, and 4 saved Christmas Carols. Hurrah for youtube and dvr.
I love comparing different versions of things.

They can totally be the same thing. Like, if I never try I can't fail

Yeah, kind of like what I am doing with my life right now.. I can see how avoiding failure by not doing anything is a form of self-sabotage. But, what about stuff like keeping a spouse at a distance because you've been hurt before and don't want to be hurt again.. isn't that self-preservation.

I still can't believe after four years of therapy T still thinks he can help me recognize and change those self-sabotaging thoughts. Or, why the hell I am still in therapy if I think those kinds of thoughts aren't self-sabotaging and in fact are keeping me from getting hurt further in my life.

Aw, I've had a few pet guinea pigs. The first one I had, Sebastian, I could actually hear start squealing for me when I was opening up the mailbox in the entryway of my apartment building. He was very loud! And loved his parsley. Another one I had, Rufus, would make this sorta purring noise when I pet him. They're such sweet little creatures...when my daughter gets a little older, I hope we can get some again.

My pet rat would chatter if he wanted to be picked up.

Hi, couch.

I am up after sleeping in. I just woke up about 11:15am.

Have to leave for CVS at 1pm, for my coverage shift. :-P Only work till 7:30 though, so I should be able to be home by 8. Go back at 8:30 tomorrow morning for the last early morning there will ever be on a Sunday. At 6pm tomorrow, we roll the gates down and stop being 24 hours. Wow, it's finally here.

Well, I need to eat and stuff before leaving...will check back in before leaving if I have time.

Later, couch.

Okay, so I decided to waste time and look up cute cat pictures and funny cat pictures and came across this.


It put a smile on my face. Makes me remember when I had kitties.

Sometimes I think my brain fills up with thoughts and emotions, and twirls everywhere...as a defense against thinking about really painful things.

Picking up brother#1 at the airport in about four hours. The state of my house...yikes!

Sunday, "meet and great" for sil's funeral at 4pm....funeral (celebration of life)..is at 5pm.
Grave side service is on Monday.
Omg.

It hurts so much to see my brother#2 and nephew in so much pain. I wish I knew what to do to help.

I'm sorry for your loss, precaryous.

I'm sorry precaryous Sometimes just being there and letting them talk about all the things or nothing at all is the most we can offer. I'm always a little surprised at how much people just need someone to listen.

Hugs, precaryous.

Hubby and son both refuse to listen to the vet who said to keep the kitten segregated for 2 weeks. They have let her out running around in the house all morning. One of our cats is already fine with her, they've been sniffing each other nose-to-nose and the other end too (yuck!) and even started playfully batting at each other. The other cat, the dominant male, is pissed. He hisses and growls menacingly whenever kitten gets anywhere near him. Miss Penny is smart enough to turn around and go elsewhere when that happens. I want to do what the vet said, but.... I was overruled. As usual around here. I hope my older cats don't end up getting sick from the kitten. She tested negative for feline leukemia yesterday and got her shots, but the vet said just as a precaution to keep them apart. But hubby of course knows better than the vet who went to veterinarian school for however many years.

OK I will take my negative nancy attitude off the couch and go watch the kitty again!

Have a good day/night and hugs to those who want them.

Ugh Art! I would throw a royal fit at them obviously not caring about you or your cat at all. It's time to pull full-on drama queen. They are completely disrespecting you and your little cat's safety and they deserve every bit of it. Go into Goddess mode and let them have it!
