The Couch 119: Come Join The Human Shelf!

I've had 3 guinea pigs in my life. Now have a dog who is allergic to the hay and bedding so won't be getting another any time soon. Rufus is cute!

I don't normally post on the couch, but the thought of joining a human shelf drew me in. Now I just want to see if I can post a pic. (Thanks for the tips, Bunyip.)

I prefer netsukes for my figurine choice.

I'm going to take the liberty of posting a figurine for SD...

...and anyone who wants me, you can find me hiding under the Couch, er, human shelf.

I worry about you. I really do. Good lord.

I think you're hair looks lovely and I'm sorry your h is such a jerk about it. I just turned 40 and my hair is 70% gray according to my stylist. I'm working to integrate the gray in because I don't want to be chained to coloring it for the rest of my life. I think women should be allowed to feel beautiful as themselves.

Your hair looks beautiful, but your beautiful smile eclipses it. Your eyes have love and compassion in them.

It is an honor to see you. Your hair cut it beautiful and so are you!!

T thinks my definition that "fault = responsibility" is wrong.

She thinks the parents are not at fault for their actions in my past.

They're not at fault for the frequent beatings with welts and bruises, nor the slappings.

She says it's "no one's fault".

I am not claiming I am abused by the parents. I am simply saying they ARE at fault for SOME of my painful experiences AT THEIR HANDS.

But of course, dear T...it's no one's fault.

I am not impulsive and will state my view in a letter next session.

But I sure wish the pain will cease.

Pocket riders...? I brought forward my T appt. Going to clarify with her WTF does she mean that my past is no one's fault. Especially the bit on the past not being The Parents' fault.

Artemis, you have lovely hair

I'm in QM

Evening, errrr morning, couch.

It is 4am and I am wide awake. FWIW I did fall asleep about 10pm only to wake up at 2am to use the restroom and have been unable to get back to sleep. Lol.

I survived my 2 stores day on Friday. I then worked most of the day on Saturday at my store. Then I pulled off 4 hours at the store that I filled in at when the one tech went into labor.

I finally had my schedule for the week of the 24th, so I was able to tell this store my availability. I was available at 3 of the 4 times they still needed someone, so I picked up 16 hours that week. I am actually working more hours at that store that week than my store. Lol. That store already wants to know my availability for the following week, but that has not been made by my pharm manager yet. I will have C that week anyways, so I may not have much time to spare.

Well, I should probably get to bed...and try to force myself back to sleep.

Night, couch.

T said she didn't intend to hurt me last session with some of her word choices like "do you want to remain a victim?" and the "no one's fault" thing. She apologized and said I've the right to be angry at her.

She had another client before me and they ran overtime. I didn't get my full one hour but T runs overtime for all her patients and I guess all my overtime means I can let being shorted go.

I saw my ex T whom I worked with for about 25 sessions till she went on maternity leave and transferred me to her colleague whom I stayed with. I got to see a photo of her daughter, who is almost 2 years old. I'm surprised and glad that ex T remembers me after one and a half years. Last time a couple of months ago, I saw her at the clinic counter same as today but she didn't see me.

Last night I was feeling really down about the guy I was seeing moving away, and I wanted to self harm. Instead, I talked to my mom about it and she helped me. I feel proud that I was able to avoid self harming, and I hope to talk to my T about it today.

I'm glad your T apologized for what she said before. It doesn't seem fair though that you didnt get your full hour, even if she's gone over time with you in the past.

I'm glad you didn't self harm. My T gave me this, I don't know if it will help you but I hope it does.

Morning, couch.

I am up and ready for my day. Here's hoping I get a call from another store to work today. I can only hope.

I barely slept last night, but I am up. Need to shower eventually today since I failed to yesterday. I also need to clean my room (yes, again....I am so bad about that).

I also need to finish up my discussion posts and assignment for my masters program, as the deadline is tonight at midnight Arizona time.

I guess I have a busy day ahead of me.

That's great that you were able to avoid self-harming! And sounds like you had a good conversation with your mom. I'm sure your T will be proud of you, too.

Thanks y'all! What a nice warm feeling to start my day with!

If we're gonna visit the Sixteenth Chapel, shouldnt we visit the first fifteen too, in order? "baby baby"

I got a job! After hearing what it entails, I'm not exactly excited for it, but it's a job, and I really needed one. It doesn't start til fall so I still need one for the rest of the summer, but I'm glad I got this one!

Congratulations!!

Is the chapel of the unaluna religion one of them?

Congratz!

Hmm. There seems to be some fallout today from the therapy-workings i did last week. I thought i was ok with it but i have a stomach ache and am hyper emotional this morning. Yuck. Saturday is feeling very far away right now. Maybe once i get back in the groove at work it'll be better.

Is this what is meant by "the human shelf"? If so, I want out. Lol.
