Couch 126: Get your kicks...

I fell asleep somehow lastnight never heard son come in but just checked he's here safe and sound asleep. Whew! This having an adult son is taking some getting used to....

glad your son is ok. my son is 25 and i still worry when he is out and about and i dont know what he is up to

Yeah... he's 18 but he usually tells me when he's going to be out really late, I'll find out after he wakes up why he didn't this time. Maybe his phone wasn't working.

so spending some time in my craft room for the first time sense surgery . its a bit tiring but im enjoying it

Did i mention i am taking co-q10? And getting chores done. They took my blood sugar at the dentist thursday and it was 87, which is darn low for me. The dentist was like, maybe that stuff does work! Stg is going on. Im not losing more weight, im just feeling better. Weird. But ill take it.

Crocus!

The contractor just left that gave us an estimate to tile the shower in my son's bathroom, nice guy but when he, h and I were all standing in our little office looking at the supplies we bought, I felt very claustrophobic and got extremely cranky at h because I had to repeat everything the contractor said (h didn't have his hearing aid in yet). The contractor was blocking the door which may have been part of the problem. I don't get claustrophobic often thankfully. It feels terrible though and I empathize with anyone who suffers it regularly!

My sister in law posted some pictures on facebook yesterday they're at Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Germany (my brother is stationed somewhere in Germany right now, I don't recall the name of the town). Beautiful!!!

I'm going to have to take a break from this forum for a while, at least until I've worked through some trauma in T because every time I come here I feel my jaw clamp together with tension and it sends me back down again. I think I need to concentrate on some of the soothing things and try not to think too much about therapy itself at the moment.
Take care all, and happy Christmas if I'm not back before.

Decades tv binge this wkend is 77 Sunset Strip. I looooove that song. Must have been a happy time in grade school for me.

Anyway, they just ran "strangers on a train"!, from the first year of the show. Peter breck from big valley was the bruno character, connie stevens was the goofy little sister. It was fab! I probably saw it but didnt remember, then when i did see the hitchcock movie recently-ish, it must have lit up some old neuropeptide, because i was unreasonably enthusiastic

Take care echoes. You will be missed until your return.

So as not to hijack another thread more than I already have:

My manuscript "The Wit and Wisdom of unaluna" is currently under review at a major press.

I assume you'll want a cut...

Your brownie recipe or mine? On second thought, our salon will just have tons of

Take care, echoes.

Hey couch! I'm at my practitioner training today, we're on lunch now. It's been a really good day so far. Catch y'all later!

I'm outside kashi's office in my car. I'm early. We are supposed to do some exposure therapy today but it's kinda a crappy day here and our activity is outdoors. My allergies are making me feel a little ill. I'm hoping he suggests doing this another day. Then again it took some planning on his part so I feel like I should do this. If I do it I think I will end up enjoying it.

You will be missed Echos.

Texted T this morning. She really wanted me to come in or let her call me. I declined both offers. I told her I would somehow cope and figure it out, and if I got worse again I will let her know. She said that was okay but she's always there. I told her I'm not going to think about anything today - she said that was a good idea....

Problem - I don't know how to not think.....

Mine all think me taking Xanax is fine, even though I was an alcoholic, sober now for 29 years. Even pdoc, who is also a sober alcoholic for 20 some years and an addictionologist. I have reservations about that. They say my little bitty dose won't hurt anything. I maintain that I didn't drink very much, either, but I did drink a little each day.

My only guess is that they think there is a limit on how much Xanax I can take because it is prescribed. But I am prescribed too much, IMO and I have a huge stockpile.

I don't get it either.

I take a day off the forum to get some work done and there is a discussion about pot and all sorts of their developments happen.
Echoes have a good break.
all who offered advice about about Epsom salts thanks but I don't find baths relaxing for various reasons but thanks for the thought. I am strange as I don't find incense relaxing either. Go figure
I really should have read the original thread before assuming I missed something forbidden

im so tired of my leg being in so much pain . i dont think it will ever go away im terrified they have destroyed my leg . it hurts so bad

Hope you feel better soon, Granite.

A friend of mine had leg vein transplant stuff. Yeah he was pretty depressed and cranky about it. Like he wasnt the kind of kashi guy to say straight yes i feel pain. It was more of a wtf do you think. Maybe youll be able to get medical marijuana for it?

to piggy-back on the medical marijuana suggestion...a friend of mine has severe pain in his knee and was treating the pain with oxycontin (sp?) and then switched to medical marijuana and is thrilled that he did because it completely manages his pain. Something to think about if it's available in your state.

Granite i am not surprised your leg is very painful as i have worked in cardio-thoracic theatre adn have seen what is done.
