Couch 111 - The Simple, Clear, and Informative Couch

Glad to say that my horse has recovered. Meanwhile, I am in Nashville at a training that is ending today at noon rather than at 5. And I don't fly home until tomorrow, because I couldn't get a late flight. If I had known... So what does a non-country lover do in Nashville with a free afternoon?

Go eat chicken or country ham at Loveless Cafe. Although it looks like a tourist trappy sort of place - the food is really good.
Walk along the river, travel out to civil war sites, go the huge bass pro shop, visit dollywood.

Hey couch people,
Hows it goin? Finally started laundry...yay! Need to look for a job. Gonna do some writing. Today's gonna be a slow day.

Mental pain is funny. It's like physical pain - it is hard to move because it's painful, except it isn't really, it's more like a memory of an injury. But moving actually does make it more acute. I want to just curl up and not move ever again. I wish I lived alone. It is going to be very hard to keep up appearances over the next few days, I think.

The good weekend that I had w hubby is decidedly over sigh. Son got a letter yest that his band teacher nominated him to go on a trip to europe in 2017 to represent arizona bands and play in different cities. Its super expensive likely, the deposit alone is $600, and when i told h about it last night he was all derogatory "he wasn't talented enough to make regional so why would he ne for this" and "its just a moneymaking scheme". Didn't even want me to look into it. You know what?? I think the man is jealous!! Why can't he just be excited for his son getting this opportunity? Son feels so shot down and said to me last night "it's hard to be excited about anything in this house isn't it." I feel like I have so much to apologize for to him. He isn't even asking for us to pay for it and h is being like this. He's going to move out when he's 18 just to get away from his dad i know it. My h is really f'd up, isn't he. Sigh.

Raising teenagers is really really hard on a person's psyche. Just saying.

My T does this too! I think it's more of hitting the space bar too many times than actually what ellipses represent. T is always using 2 periods instead of one also lol

When I use ellipses, I generally use it as a spacer between two sentences, because I am too lazy to be grammatically correct.

Dilemna of no importance. I have a 24" monitor, a 19" monitor and an open laptop so I can use 3 screens at once. I didn't like how they were (laptop, big, smaller) so I re-arranged them (laptop, smaller, big). I don't like that either. Due to the way my area is that I have to put my monitors and laptop it's not like I have a ton of options. I go from screen to screen and drag from window to window so I need a flow I like but can't figure out what it would be according to how I sit. Focus on the little unimportant things = distraction from my own life.

Lurker here but having a bad day. Cursed at a colleague again. She can handle it but I feel cruddy for having done so. I am just so angry and on edge today. Trying not to take a Klonopin because I took so many during the two weeks my T was away. Blaming my monthlies although that's not the whole story. Wah.

We use 2 monitors at work but they're both the same size so we don't have that prob. Some days i wish we had a 3rd one all the programs we have to be in all day.

It drives me bonkers they are all different sizes but haven't been able to convince bossman that I need a new monitor just because the size is different. lol

I use ellipses to mean pausing for thought. Like I'm leaving my thought process out. Because it would take forever to write it all out. And some things you can't communicate with words, so it's a replacement for a gesture or an expression... yanno...?

I'm sorry Art, that was just a douchebag thing to say to the kid, no two ways about it. Crushing the kid's dreams I'd be right pissed at him.

Clearly your boy takes after his mom. Travel is great for kids. It's a great opportunity. Hope he gets to go

Im jealous! I asked for a second signon just so i could open more mainframe windows so i could write and test more programs at the same time when i was working on easy stuff, and they just got suspicious of me.

I don't know how anyone could be suspicious of your innocent little face.

Right?

You guys are funny. Like i told t, youre gonna miss me when im gone. He goes, youll probably be missing me first. Good on me for just assuming he meant he was gonna croak first cuz hes older and i might have better genes. Plus i live like a nun. They live pretty old, right?

Probably because they don't have to deal with spouses.

I am pretty sure you're going to bury us all. (Me anyway.)

No my T is more precise than that.

Maybe, but I don't think so
I think maybe this is it. I may ask him.

It just seemed vitally important yesterday when I received the text. Here I am looking for hidden messages in everything he says and does. I haven't done that for a couple of years now.

Look guys i learned how to multi-quote. I won't be able to do in 10 minutes time I bet.

And the emotional rollercoaster continues. Gma looked awful tonight and is just completely out of it. I pray God takes her swift and soon for her sake. She is beyond ready and has been for quite some time. Painful as it may be I would rejoice for her sake the day she goes. I love my grandma sooooooo much.

I've learned how to do it and then forgotten how three or four times by now.

This. Yes.

Worth discussing with him, perhaps?
