Couch 104 - The Couch Without A Catchy Title

Speaking of desserts, today my marriage counselor was trying to make a point of how, if I'm having conflicting feelings, like anger at someone and guilt about that anger, I can choose which one to feel. So he was like, "OK, what do you want to eat right now?" I said, "Um...ice cream." He said, "What other thing would you want to eat right now?" I was like, "Um, a cookie?" So he said, "Well, you can pick one or the other, and either choice is OK. I was like, "Couldn't I just eat both?". And MC was like, "OK, well, I guess that would be the Chipwich exception!" And H said he was going to write a book on psychology and title it that.

I'm particularly good at messing up analogies like that... Because I don't necessarily give the expected answer.

Not a fan of square sausage and black pudding? The question is, did you wash it down with some Irn Bru?

So, the stbx only wanted one child last weekend. Today, to add insult to injury, he only wanted to talk to one child (the other gets home later) and made some stupid excuse that the child would feel left out if he called to talk to the other.
I bloody well made the b^stard call at the time he's supposed to call at to talk to both kids

I can't even imagine.

I have had Irn-Bru. It's not for me either.

What the heck kind of game is he playing at? Sheesh.

I can relate but now my ex blames the girls for not calling him! He's the adult (just) i think its up to him to start communications.

Lorne sausage? I love Lorne sausage, but I come from a scottish background.

Hello couch. I am super emotional this evening and trying to figure out why. I did spend some time today trying to answer the question "What are you avoiding?" that t asked me on Friday. It all boils down to, I think, it's time for me to sh** or get off the pot, as the saying goes; it's time to take control and responsibility for my own life and quit using therapy as an excuse not to. If I look at myself really really honestly I can see that I do circle back around to issues that really shouldn't still be issues because it gives me a reason to still be there. That sounds really pathetic, I know. But it's easier than manning up and just jumping into the deep end without her as swimmies on my arms. She's helped me learn me how to swim and to swim well; what am I so afraid of, facing my life w/out her in it? I need to have faith in myself. I think I'm going to shower and go to bed early. I'll try to catch up on the couch tomorrow.... night all.

You can get the soft drink on amazon:

I have made the square Lorne sausage but I don't like black pudding.

Art - what if you did both? Why are they mutually exclusive. There may be changes you need or want in your life - but can't you do them and see the therapist if you want? And are you sure it is about the therapist and not your domestic situation?

I would say black pudding is not as bad as I feared but that's as strong as I get with the praise.

I feel I should mention haggis at this point... any takers?

I was hoping you wouldn't go there.

I want pavlova, I just don't want to have to make it! :P

My depression reasserted itself in the last few weeks. My T has been trying to point out that I've been under some prolonged stress plus the temperature dropped (my Vit. D levels are good though, the light does nothing for me). I'm due for ketamine tomorrow and then my H and I decided maybe I should go every other week for treatment instead of every three weeks.

He's just selfish. My son has special needs and it takes effort to engage with him. He can't be bothered. He can't even see that it's upsetting both children either.

I love black pudding

(((Art)))
I'm with Stopdog on this one

On haggis, I'm not a fan of organ meats.

On black pudding, I'm sure I would eat it if nobody told me what's in it. Sort of like my don't ask/don't tell policy on hot dogs.

On breakfast, not until I've been up a few hours.

Hugs for those who want them. Good night Couchies!

Ha! You sure about that? I think my eight year old is more mature than the stbx

Evening, couch.

I am home from CVS, fed, and caught up on the couch. Now just to relax a little before heading to bed.

I was originally scheduled for 29 hours the week of Christmas, but I was asked today if I could pick up a shift for a coworker who requested off, but the pharm manager overlooked the request. I agreed, so now I am adding a 9 hour shift to that week. That makes 38 hours. It will make a nice first paycheck in January.

I got to relax a little between jobs today. I was supposed to have my homebound kid, but his mom cancelled on me again because he had a grand maul seizure around lunch time. I understand, but maybe the school board needs to re-evaluate the need for homebound instruction. Maybe they need to just release him from school. He will be 18 next week.

It would mean no more extra income for me if it happened, but it may be better for the kid.

I don't have much more to say. I'll try to pop in tomorrow morning before school job. Night, couch.

Hey couch-
disappointing news- I didn't get the job! Both positions I applied for went to internal candidates. Now I'm wondering if that was the plan all along. I'm stunned because I really was a true match for either position. I'm humble as a person, but when it comes to what I do, well, this was a shock.

Mixed blessing? I had my concerns, some odd vibes from the hiring manager. Sparky is stuck with me for awhile!

Growlycat perhsps its for a reason.
