Couch 113 - Sofa, So Good

Actually, if I may reply to myself here, I am unfortunately not as unaffected by gender as I ought to be. I always take it for granted that anybody who is of one of the two traditional genders is automatically going to be unable to understand me in certain ways, whereas somebody of the other of the two genders may or may not be able to relate to some aspects. This is an academic discussion because who cares other than me, but it might be something to work on, because rationally there should be no such difference. Or maybe it would be better to work on the misplaced notion that others have an interest in understanding me, regardless of their genital category.

I'll ride with you, DF. I'll bring some chocolate.

Cool! Chocolate is the best. Thanks for coming.

Anyone taking Levothyroxin, a thyroid med? My dose was increased and it makes me hyper.
If you take it, did you get used to it? I need to settle down.

It helps with energy and getting things done....not so helpful during therapy..though T understood.

Please forgive me if my emotions are all over the place.

I wil pocket ride, DF. I'll bring some magazines and a pillow...

Thanks, precaryous!

Do what you have to do. I don't see any way for me to stop you.

It always bothers me to identify a person by their age, race, gender, size, etc. I feel like im the one being put on the spot.

Mr Ed stowed away on a cruise to Hawaii. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! Wilbur asked him how he snuck on the ship. Mr Ed said he came in with a bunch of cows - he bent his knees and said moo. He said the girls were laughing so hard, they musta lost 60 gallons of milk.

Eta - even mr ed couldnt avoid it. For the trip home, wilber said ed was more comfortable not having to travel with the cow ladies. But mr ed ended up appropriating the wilbers bed - double eek!!

I am on levothyroxine, my dr increased my dosage from 75 mcg a year ago, but I didn't notice anything at all. I'm currently taking 100 mcg a day. What's your dosage? Just curious.

I'll ride with you too, DF, and bring some hot tea.

Morning, couch! (or evening?) i woke up this morning still feeling happy. still getting along with h. doing my best to continue holding onto 'me' - i think that's what's been different this past week, is that when we were having the good discussions about the insurance stuff (after my initial upset when i still hadn't talked to him but posted here) I have been talking to him as my whole self - not holding back my opinion - saying 'this is what it is and this is what i won't do' basically. bringing the same confidence I have at work, into telling my h how i feel. if he can't love me for who i am, then he doesn't deserve me. But first i need to make sure that I AM who I am, that I am being my real self, with him. Otherwise i'm not being fair, either. anyway i didn't say that to him, but it's how i am starting to feel. thanks couch, seriously you guys have been such a big help to me whenever i have shared about the problems in my marriage. i told t yesterday that i really see clearly now how it's not all on him. an equal amount of our problems has been me - not trusting him with all of me - not trusting him with why i feel like i do about things, or even with all of how I feel. This sounds a little disjointed I am sure but you know how I do, I work things out here lol. I think I'm growing up again, youse guys.....

I guess that's good? If so, I'm glad.

Thanks, Artemis-Within!

I'm gonna be 54 so yeah, growing up is a good thing...
(not trying to harp on my age. just trying to get myself used to it before it gets here.)

The Sarah Waters book has now turned into rather unrealistic fantasy (possibly horror). The protagonist has fallen in love, and is telling a friend about it. It seemed perfectly realistic up to that point.... now I am waiting for the elves to swoop in on their dragon mounts.

Sorry, I wasn't talking about your reference to growing up, bt what you said about how you and your husband talk.

I'm a little envious - 43 is a good age to be but 54 must be better!

I don't normally speak up on the couch but just wanted to say thank you very much for sharing that, it spoke to me and I really hope I can get to that point one day. At the moment it seems so far away but it is where I need to go with my H. Thank you.

Say goodnight, Gracie!

I'm on 137 mcg. daily. I was on about 112 mcg right after surgery and it didn't make me feel as "zippy" as this new dose.

Maybe it will settle down. I won't take it before therapy anymore.

They snuck some real gems past the censors! This week, Beaver was asking his dad how come he didnt kiss other married ladies - betcha could get into some real trouble, huh dad? Ward starts daydreaming... trey risque'

I must find that episode!

Seriously? It was season 1, early on, like #5 - beaver meets the neighbor, stg like that. Freakin hilarious.

the reason i said that is because i love watching for moments when little miss perfect june says something that is so not what you would expect. lol

it is stiil dark here at 6 am, winter must be almost here. i have t in 3 hours. i have found taking a phernergan before bed with my other meds gives me a better nights sleep. I don't know if this allowed or not but I feel almost 100% in the morning can't remember the last time I felt like that.
