The Couch 116: Puns Tsar Terrible...

When one is in the room with him - it is Ack.

Undying fame on the Couch?

As in my old original couch days friend apt/mast?

LC I am so sorry about your brother and grandmother.

(aka Bipolarartist)

The same! I think couch 3 was my first one, in the spring of 2012.

So sorry to hear that, LC.

So happy to see you still here!

Sorry for the deletions I did not feel safe with that out there.

I understand. I end up deleting maybe 25% of my posts.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie... tumdedum....
When you're down by the sea and an eel bites your knee - that's a moray!

That made me laugh.

One of my jobs after college and before law school, was working with toddlers. You could already, at 3, see the bossy ones, and the ones who got really worried when others did not follow rules, and the ones wanted to snitch, the ones who really wanted to enforce the rules, and the ones who were followers and could easily get bossed by the bossy ones etc.
It was fascinating. Often the bossy ones would get completely melted down when another child simply did not do the thing. My sympathies were usually with the refuser, but the distress of the bossy was quite palpable and real. in the older rooms, the 5 year olds or so, there were always one or two children who wanted to tell the child who got hurt that it was their own fault for running or not doing something right.
Nature versus nurture?

Lola! I am sorry I missed you! You've been on my mind and in my prayers. ❤️

I'm sorry for your losses, LolaCabanna.

Please forgive me for saying so, but I'M AWESOME. I received a freaking 8.4 for the last test of my weakest subject (Physics). Now I'm averageing a 7.4. (I have yet to receive my Physics Lab grade, so the 7.4 is not yet my final average grade.)

Yay Breadfish!!

Thanks. I'm so proud. This is something that I achieved. And though I repeated this grade, I didn't have Physics the previous time I did this grade. So it's not a "second-hand" achievement either. I really feel awesome.

Morning, couch.

Well, I ended up deciding to go to bed rather than clean my room more. Hey, sleep is important. But, I am up now and just checking in and do need to clean some more today. Pay day for CVS, so that should be nice. This check will have the time and a half 4 hours from Memorial Day and my holiday pay (free hours) from Memorial Day. I am pseudo-full time at CVS now, so I get benefits (which is why I have secondary insurance now). I say "pseudo" because I only got it from an automatic change in status due to averaging more than 31 hours a week over a year (the last 3 months though, I have only had 20 hours or so), but if I don't average that again, and average less than 31 hours a week for a year, I will be automatically moved back to part-time. It's weird how their system works. I have vacation time now too, so that is nice...I have to use it before the end of the year though or I lose it. I was just automatically put to full-time on May 1st. The health insurance from CVS is worse than my school board insurance, but the prescription coverage is better, so I will take it.

Well, I better go get started on finishing the cleaning. Maybe I will clean out my car today too. Who knows.

LC you may not see this, but I'm sorry for your losses.

I'm so sorry for your losses...

You ARE awesome! Way to go!!

Way to go, BF! You are AMAZING! Smart, and wonderful! Proud of you!

Woke up this morning cursing my alarm for going off on a Saturday morning, when in fact it is Friday, so I was about a half hour late for work. I hate not knowing what day I'm in sometimes. Saw I had texted T, mushy crap in the middle of the night - wish I could take it back. Makes me feel too vulnerable, opening up that way. Asked H if he wanted to go see T, he said he'd think about it but feels weird talking to her instead of me telling him things, makes him feel like he's going behind my back. T and I switched up my schedule for next week, hopefully it goes well and can stay that way. Trying to do a day in between each session instead of a few days in a row. I think I'll like it better, give me a day to process the day before. She's always available by text/phone and will give me an extra appointment if not, so we'll see. Baseball draft was, interesting. Didn't go quite how I thought it would. Session yesterday completely wore me out I am beyond exhausted but alas I'm at work, attempting to be somewhat productive. This is the longest post I think I've ever written on the couch.

Have a good Friday/Saturday couchies.

Mast, I hope you can find a way to enjoy the weekend

Has your husband gone with you to a therapist before?

Yes, he goes to mine and we see her as a 'couple' since she knows my background and things I can't discuss with him she offers him support and ways that he can assist me. He always wants to do things to help and asks me but I have no idea how to help myself, she does. So we see her together for about a half hour and the she sees him for about an hour and then we come together again for a little bit and it seems to help him. I trust her and she always tells me what they discussed so I'm not blindsided, we also discuss in my personal session before the joint session what can and cannot be talked about. I find it to be a good thing, especially for him. I think it would be good if he went now because of how long he'll be home.
