The Couch 116: Puns Tsar Terrible...

I think so. I have been making every effort to get an Oh good lord oh good lord, a la Ack ack. Alas.

Eta: saw previous post. SD, is it possible to get both an Oh good lord and an Ack in the same post? I like to set myself goals.

No - that is a bad bad goal.

I just wanted to share one more thing before I head to bed.... I found something that absolutely delights 15 (my inner foot-stomping 15 year old): I was downloading some more free books on my nook recently and one of them happened to be a young adult one, I didn't realize it at the time. But anyway I read it, and I swear I could feel 15 wanting more. So I found some more. They are really fast reads, and she is so delighted, I must say. Since our wifi at work has been crap this week, I've been reading on my nook app all lunch break and between calls and on break. I've read several of them already. Isn't that funny, something so simple like that, is making 15 so happy? ETA when I tell t on Saturday I betcha money she'll clap.

That would have to be quite the post!

Evening, couch. I am home and fed. I stopped by Taco Bell's drive thru on the way home to get dinner. I ate it when I got home, took my night meds (even though it is rather late) and am now on PC checking in.

Work went so-so...we were understaffed, so we were all running back and forth like chickens with our heads cut off. Picked up my medication tonight, so I wouldn't have to go into the store tomorrow after my haircut. It will feel odd handing over the injection at my next appointment (I've been on a program where I got it for free and it was sent directly to his office for the last 2 years because my primary insurance refused to pay, but now I have a second insurance that does cover it.) since I have never had to do it before.

Need to finish cleaning my room or at least get a bit more done before heading to bed. I just have no motivation.

Young dog is afflicted with room clearing gas tonight. Even the other two dogs have moved away from him.

At least you're 15. I'm stuck at Ramona Quimby age 8!

Hello all❤️

Lola! Wasssssup?!

Hey Lola!!

Is your heart still broken, Lola?

Not a lot same old same old.. What about y'all ?

LC - I hope you are well.

More so then ever I lost my grandmother and my youngest brother all in the last 6 months.

I am sorry to hear that.

Oh good Lord

I appreciate that SD. This has been one of the hardest times in my life and I'm am treading water. As you remember or not I was raised by my grandmother and losing her to breast cancer the second go around had been the death of me.

Your brother would have been very young.

He was 31, a cancer induced incident

What they don't talk about with cancer is the after effects of beating it ... Financial devastation . So when he was faced with having cancer a second time he wasn't prepared for the fallout. He had a new job and new boyfriend and new car and wasn't ready to loose it all for cancer so he dealt with it poorly and ended up killing himself before the cancer could take him. Weird, he could have beat it again.... Like he had before but he couldn't deal with the financial cost as well as physical toll. He was a great man who volunteered with several organizations and I know it was a matter of pride that lead to his death and that's ok. He wasn't prepared to start over . With his cancer they said he would face it at least three times In his life and it was more then he could bear.

That's very hard. I know I would not be a very good patient if I didn't feel well.

Anywho... Sorry to bum out the couch ...cool whip

I don't think anyone's bummed out. I expect everyone is sitting around plotting how to make SD say Ack and Oh good lord in the same post.

Hey, Lola. I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.

(I'm apt/mast)

That's a challenge ! What do we win
