The Couch 119: Come Join The Human Shelf!

Thats him alright. He greases himself up for about half an hour then falls asleep. today he asked me how the water was. I couldnt hear him cuz i had my earplugs in. I took one out then i told him it was 86 degrees. He agreed that was warm. If he "sees (me) when im sleeping"...!

It's so exhausting right? Despite the good parts of the job.

IT. we used to say, doctors hours but not doctors pay. Always on call.

Yup, I work in IT and it feels like a thankless job. "Not enough work" should be a good thing, meaning that applications are working smoothly, not "We're having difficulty justifying your performance grade and value to the organisation."

Non IT staff in my same paygrade aren't on call 24/7 like I am either...

This is true for me, too. The most functional part of my life is work, but I'm continually gutted from the effort to do it and seem "normal" all day.

Morning couch. Feels hard to function today for some reason. I can't identify why. I don't really feel depressed but maybe I am? I don't know. At least I see t tomorrow.

omg i need to stop letting myself worry about everything re guarding my son . he is going to look at an apartment this morning and i am all full of anxiety about it . my stomach is turning and i cant focus on anything . i am spending my whole time worrying about if he is ok here and if i am upsetting him . i need to just let whatever is ,is .and if he needs something or is unhappy about something he is an adult and will deal with it . like if he is hungry he will find something to eat . etc... but i can seem to not get all anxious about him and it is non stop. i dont know what to do . it is not good for me .

god please let him get this apartment

Ah the normalizing power of Google. ha ha

Morning, couch! I got a good night's sleep last night after being awake so much the night before. Hoping I'll be able to swim laps again after work, it's so wonderful when there's not a bunch of unruly teenagers in the pool throwing footballs around and doing all there somebody's-gonna-lose-an-eye horseplay. Even if they stay on one side, I'm still nervous about swimming laps cuz I'm afraid I'll get my head conked by one of their footballs if I'm not paying attention.

Hugs to all who want them!

Glad you are thinking this through. As the mother of three sons, two of them adults, I know it is hard to let go and let them adult. But they are adults and they will find their way. They may get some bumps and bruises along the way, but they are adults and will find their way. And they'll let me know if they need my help or advice or just a listening ear. Otherwise, my job as the mother of adults is to let them be the adults they are.

My fun activity for the day will be chastising a therapist over Skype in a couple hours.

SD, can I borrow the chainmail and crossbow? I promise I'll have the mail dry-cleaned before I return it.

Got an email response from t about the dream i sent her, and now I'm happy that i sent it. She just so 'gets' me, said it was a perfect dream for me and that I'm doing good work with it (I'd sent her that as well). I feel all warm and fuzzy now haha

Didn't like it while I was away.
Don't like it now.
T today.
Dog is sick.
Beyond exhausted.

It's been my birthday today and it's just been a horrible day from start to finish. But unlike other horrible days I've got to put on the pretence of happiness. Next year I want July to skip from the 25th straight to the 27th.

Happy birthday, Echos.

Happy Birthday Echoes!!

Happy Birthday!

Echos, I'm sorry the day has been so awful. I am not a fan of birthdays (although I like the getting older aspect). Hugs to you.

Thanks everyone.

I'm with you Crocus.

Thought I'd share a little of my trip.

Nice photos!

Probably my favorite one.

Nice!!!!

Happy Birthday Echos! I hope there is enough day left where you are to turn it around. I hope something wonderful happens for you before your day is over!!

((( hug )))
