Couch 156: The Clock Strikes...

I am enrolled in a writer’s workshop through Gotham in NYC. And the instructor, who’s published a novel and multiple short stories, keeps writing “tail” for “tale.” As in “campfire tail.” It’s driving me a bit nuts, especially since his job is writing tales.

Ugh. That would also drive me nuts.

Trigger warning for pet loss.

We lost another baby kitten this morning and DD1 and the boy just left the emergency vet with yet another. They recommended hospitalization and extensive (expensive?) treatment but we could never afford it. They euthanized her for free because it was the most humane solution.

The problem with being a crazy cat lady is we don't have infinite resources and she takes in every stray and every litter. We've managed to give them all away in the past, but something is wrong with these babies. It hurts so much to know they suffered and we couldn't help them. The 3 that are still here appear healthy but that could change. They could have an infection (parasite/etc.) and passed it among themselves.

I came home today to 2 sobbing, extremely upset daughters and a pitiful sick kitten. I wish I could have spared them all that suffering. It's easier to not get attached or try to care for pets when you can only do it half-arsed. Pet rocks maybe?

RIP Soot, Pan-Face and Doofy. I'm sorry I'm a broke loser with a mile-wide soft spot.

So I'm writing a fairy tail out of a recent dream? Ahaha

eta: this ended up badly placed, internet on my phone is slow so SM your post snuck in above mine. i'm so very sorry about the pet loss. that must be heartbreaking to you and your daughters.

Sounds like sloppy editing skills

Someone with lots of money and no musical taste just pulled in besides me

Hey, maybe it's my conductor

Hey couch! H and I are taking a little vacation (he got 3 free nights at his favorite casino in Laughin, NV again so here we are) and we drove through Lake Havasu City on the way here, and went to see a couple of the replica Lighthouses that are around the shore of Lake Havasu. Here I am at one of them. Beautiful day for a drive!

We came across a covey of quail at one of the lighthouses. This one was a little slower than the rest so I got his pic.

Pretty scenery on the drive here!

One more: Lake Havasu.

Its the staring guy again. I might have to park somewhere else in future.

Art you always take the most wonderful photos.

Thanks BCM! There's so much beautiful scenery in the desert southwest I just love it.

Winter has already started where I live.
I wanted to post some winter photos here... Maybe later.

OH yes please Capt. I haven't seen snow since i was really little and every chance I get i like to see snow pictures.

I'd love to see some photos!

I live in a boring grey city, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed

Winter photos would be so cool. I've rarely seen snow

I feel really weird.
Like I don't exist. I know this girl... (insert Capt's name here), but she's not me.
I don't know who I am.
I think I can control her?? Does she know about me? Who I am??
VERY weird feelings...

Still no call from my clinic. They must have forgotten about me

*hugs* you're real, capt. Can you call the clinic to ask?

I hate calling
I think I'll wait till tomorrow morning.
But tomorrow I'll have to call with my parents hearing everything... So I can't use the words "appointment", "session", "T's name" and other :/

Woke up at 2am and I can't go back to sleep. Ugh.

They called!
