The Couch 147: Maximum Break!

no words.... lol

Ova. I get it now. Ahahaha!

Art - you paint a lovely word picture!

"That good leads to evil there's no denying;
If it were not for the truth there would be no lying."

i found this looking for examples of burlesque poems but i don't know who it's by or what it's a part of. hmm. i kinda like it.

i thought you'd like it!

thanks for being here tonite. i'm feeling so much better.

Mary Mapes Dodge, "Life in Laconics."

It is not a very laconic poem, though.

Ah thank you!

I just signed up for a personal empath balancing session over at my shamanic group on Sunday, the woman I learned reiki from is offering them. the description sounds like just what I need right now. to "clear out what doesn't belong to us and bring balance and harmony back to ourselves." I've worked with her before and she's quite gifted. I'll go from there to my poetry group. Gonna keep busy this weekend.

well couchies i'm heading to bed. good night!

The couch is quiet today...
I slept most of the day.
How is everyone doing?

Doing okay

How are you?

Morning. It's 4:43 am here and I'm awake. I'm feeling better about things ending w t. I talked to h about it last night and he echoed what some of you have been saying, almost the same words even, and hearing it from him too..... wow. I cried and grieved for a bit. I was too close to the situation to be able to see it. This is for the best., Even though it hurts right now. I probably should not even go back for a closure session, just should let her go with love and good will and move forward. It may be that if I went back for that it would be more picking the scab like una said. I need to be thankful for what we had, realize all good things come to an end ( as do bad things, nothing is forever) , forgive myself and hold my head up high, facing the world as the brave New me I have worked so hard to become.

Thus is my pep talk to myself this morning. Let's see if it works.

Good morning, couch. Hugs to all who need or want.

Art, I think that's a really good pep talk. I'm the same way. I need to hear the same thing about 10 thousand times before I really hear it.

I was up at 5am after having a nightmare about the first day of school. I think it speaks to the anxiety I felt last night about BtS. I'm so terribly behind. I'm going to get some work done while H is at work today. Maybe that'll help put my mind at ease.

I had a dream that I had an appointment with L but everything we said was actually just consecutive phrases from the Lorem Ipsum.

Probably was an entertaining session.

Yeah, the pseudo-Latin gibberish made just about as much sense to me as anything else ever does, tbh.

I think my new PSA needs to be "don't use anyone's real ****ing name when talking to those people"

I sure do wish I would remember a dream, I seem to be in a drought again. Perhaps it is for the best now that I think about it.

it's now a little after 6am and my earlier pep talk is working. I feel good and h, son and I are heading out for breakfast at IHOP!

I can do this, I can. I am.

Nice weekend couch...

Yummy! Extra characters

In one of my dreams last night, MC was telling us about how he and his wife had slept in separate bedrooms after they moved to the current house, but it was just because there were a lot of rooms in the house (like they all had to get used, or something). Not sure what that was all about. In the dream, after session, I even commented to H that it was strange that he'd shared that.

Then again, H and I currently sleep in separate rooms, so maybe it was supposed to make me feel better about that?

just saw that John Heard AKA "peter" from home alone, has passed away

I went back to sleep and woke up when H called. I could go back to sleep. This is how I get when I get depressed. I need to get to work, but watching old episodes of Law and Order and taking a nap seems like more fun.

Hugs all around if you want.
