Couch 140: Knocking pans

My t/pdoc's cat did that to his bed when he returned from vacation. Looking right at him while he did it, if i remember the story correctly.

Werent your roommates gone recently? Either Toby is mad they left, or mad they returned, or both!

JD i hope Toby is fine and that you have a good trip!

In other news, my lunch today cost $6.66.

I try to get it all onto paper as soon as I get home but that can take hours

And it's usually at that point I discover I blacked out during large swathes of it and all I can hear in my head when I try and fish for the content is something like the teacher from Peanuts... "mwa mwa mwamwa mwap mwapmwa"

Hahahaha, YES. That's exactly what it's like.

"Luc, I have a really important observation to make... ... ... mwamwamwa mwap mwap mwa mwamwap."

Is that a good or bad?
Where I'm at lunch for $6.66 is a very good deal

After typing all that... ahaaaaa 666. :nonexistant lightbulb blinky thingie:

That explains why col sanders is leering like that!!

Right now, I really want to cling to my Ts leg and never let go. Yay

@anais: Wow. That's probably the best "description" of what processing is I've heard so far. Thx.
I do try to write down what T and I talked about after every session. Usually it takes me an awful amount of time because I know that there was something important I wanted to write down but can't remember what...

Me too, mine had to cancel next week for an emergency trip... he said "I won't be able to see you next week unless you'd like to teleport and meet me in Yokohama"

Anais: nods enthusiastically, at home frantically researching teleportation, and price of tickets to Japan as backup if the teleportation fails

JDna: If it were me (my cats have never gone outside the box, and I've left them alone before), AND I was going on vacation, I would call the vet and ask to speak to a tech. Tell them what happened and you are worried bc you will be out of town. It is a good sign he's eating and acting normal. It might just be all the changes- I know it's pretty common for cats to poop in vindictiveness.

If anyone remembers, about a month or so ago, I went to urgent care bc I was peeing blood and had been in pain the night before. Well my symptoms never really went away, and I did a week of antibiotics, but got a CT scan done yesterday. I called my urologist this morning bc I was really uncomfortable all night, and now EVERY time I pee (which is approximately 5 million times a day), it feels like I am peeing razor blades. Fun!

He said I have a "very large" stone, so I have to go back to the office today to get a prescription for pain, talk about a treatment plan (I am slightly afraid I won't pass it on my own), and get another urine culture done bc I probably have another infection.

UGH.

Ugh, I hope they can help you with the pain. I think there's a way they can use ultrasound or something to break them into little pieces so they can easily be passed (my friend had them a few times).

Sorry about your kidney stone... He did have that crystals in his urine problem a couple months ago

I remember this and I care. I'm sorry it didn't turn out to be nothing, after all. Still, I'm glad you went in and are working on a plan. My Mother The Nurse once told me something something they break up kidney stones with sonic waves now?

I hope you feel better soon.

I remember too <3

I think now they have some neat bath thing you sit in while they zap the stone to bits with some science thing. Which does sound cool, but I'm sorry you have the condition to begin with.

Idk, I have a kidney deformity, so the stones are coming for me sooner or later, too.

I can't believe how expensive lunches have gotten. Most days I get a 1/2 salad and a soda at Panera (love their salads) and it costs $10.36 which is crazy! They charge 2.49 for a cup of soda but I always refill it before leaving and I use the equivalent of 1/2 a lemon in my soda, so I get my money's worth, lol. But 10.36 for 1/2 salad and soda...that's criminal!

What kind of lunch did you get for $6.66? That is a good deal!

Art got lunch for 6.66? That's awesome! I don't even each lunch. I would go broke. So I skip a meal. breakfast and dinner is all for me. I know the focus is on the 666 but lunch for that is great!

I got a turkey and cheese sandwich and a soda at the little cafeteria thing in our building at work. I hate paying $2 for a soda, but the sammich is worth the price it's delish

I was just reacting to the 666 in the price of course

Hey has anybody ever made a vision board? T suggested i make one when we were talking about finding my passion in life. I've researched them a little cuz never heard of before sounds like a collage of your life dreams or something. I put school on it but am kinda stuck as to what else...

im trying so hard to not be hurt and angry at what the mother did but i cant help it . im so hurt

I've made things like that in the past. It's open to anything, not just concrete goals. Images of scenes that inspire the kind of feelings you want more of in your life, for example, or images that feel prosperous (doesn't have to be money, if that's a trigger for you) such as a home environment or travel. Words are another thing to add. I think once you get going, you'll not only fill it up but you might discover something.

Thanks!! That helps, i could have fun w this...

((Granite))

I would have dumped her years ago.

Actual dialogue from today's session:

(Silence has fallen. ATAT gazes around the room uncomfortably.)
CW: What are you thinking?
ATAT: That I really don't want to be here.
CW (shocked): Really? You don't want to be here?

She was dead serious. Seriously, what is wrong with these people? I am hardly broadcasting giddy-with-delight puppyish vibes at them.

A. You sound like SD
2. I tried this shyte on my t earlier this year, he dint like it much! But we interpreted it as existential angst. We dont want to be anywhere.
3. Then i met the russian ambassador. Or the gosling chiropractor. I get them mixed up

I have told my t that is didn't want to be there and he has said he understood and to feel free to leave anytime.. one time he said he wouldn't charge me for the session because it hadn't been that long.
