The Couch 145 : I Stubbed My Toe On the Sofa.... COUCH!

Morning couchies! And happy 4th to those who celebrate! I'm having a good birthday so far, playing on the computer right now and will be going swimming once it gets a little warmer outside.

Happy Birthday, Art! Glad to hear you're having a good one.

Also happy birthday America.

thanks daisy!

Happy Birthday Art! Happy 4th couch! I've got a potato salad to make, better get motivated.

anyone else not a fan of fireworks? i am not looking forward to tonight

Happy birthday Art!

Thanks Stressed! I enjoyed making my potato salad yesterday. Looking forward to having some for lunch today! Didn't have any last night since h and I went out for mexican. So we will enjoy it today instead.

Thanks captgut!

H just left for a run up to Phoenix, oh well we weren't really planning anything today, since we went out last night. Son is still asleep, his friend spent the night so they were probably up playing video games until all hours. It's a quiet, relaxing morning so far.

Happy Birthday, Art!

At the beginning of therapy I could talk to a stranger (T I mean). I could fight and take meds. I'm so proud of ex-myself. What have I become. T hates me and my heart is broken

((Capt)) you are still that person. Keep fighting. For me things got much worse before they started getting better...

Hola couch and hbd Art!

I have that concert tonight so en lieu of doing a celebratory activity in the evening, I am having a solo picnic in the park. Magic chicken, cucumber yogurt salad, a stealth pimms and soda camouflaged in a tea thermos (why is America so dumb this way) and a nice book.

I haven't signed on to a concert before... usually I go to watch the fireworks on a bridge with my friend. The past two years I've split my hand open trying to open a beer bottle sans opener, hitting it against the bridge in the dark. Because i can remember to bring the drink but never the bottle opener. Ah, traditions.

Thanks LT!

Thanks Anais!

(((captgut))) I suspect it is part of the process, this feeling worse before we get better. I went through a period of that too... but you are still that strong person. I don't think t hates you - it would not be professional - which my t would always remind me of whenever I would say "I was afraid you were mad at me" or something of the like. I wish I had the right words to help you feel better.

I take up space and i use resources, but i pay my way, and i give back in my own way.

The statement you quoted sounds a) pretty selfless b) like it was said by someone i. too aware of their own selflessness or ii. trying to convince you of your self-worth.

Hi couch. At the end of my lunch break. It is crazy today. I had such a healthy lunch. Haha. Will post when I get home tonight. IMG_0503.jpg

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you...

Thanks Demunie!

Happy B-day, Art!

thank you UnderRug!

Well I need to get off here now and go outside for awhile. have a good afternoon/night, couchies!

eta: and a tiny little rant. facebook seems to be becoming a place for multi-level marketing spam. at least if several of my friends are any indication. Two of them especially. I figure they must be under tremendous pressure from their higher-ups because they never post anything BUT stuff touting how wonderful their business is and how awesome their products are and how everyone MUST TRY THEM NOW! Ugh. I think I'm going to unfriend those 2. They never post anything else. I used to enjoy keeping up with them, watching their kids grow when they'd post pics of them, occasional messaging but now, they never post anything but their scheme. And they don't have time to chat. Ever. It's all about their "wonderful product" that I'm a fool for not trying bla bla bla. Done!

DM made me write it down in my notebook and that makes a lot of sense. Thanks, una.

Happy Birthday Art!!

We took the dogs swimming last night and i rode my horse a bit this morning. But my T js gone this week and I'm still hurting so much from the BT situation so I am not feeling very celebratory

Thank you, BB!

I hope you're feeling better over that whole situation soon. I can certainly understand that it still hurts. (((BB)))
