Couch 159: Aemilia, a Couch on the Asteroid Belt

Looking at my phone this morning - i really thought today - saturday - was the 24th. I was like, who hacked my phone? I had to look at the calendar to figure it out. T is not taking tuesday the 26th off, like normal people. He irks me sometime. Hopefully he will take jan 2nd off to watch football.

Ive been trying to drink more water with one of those reminder apps - it is not easy! Maybe i need to remind myself more often.

It does look like a cute, comforting game. I distracted myself from some bad feelings with a Snoopy game last night.

Hi Art,

I'm sorry you're struggling right now. I just wanted to say please don't beat yourself up for knowing something that, as you said, your therapist and everyone here knows, because I sure don't know what "it" is. I just know you're a lovely, bright spirit no matter where you are--in therapy, outside therapy, half in/half out, 3/4ths out 1/4th resentfully in--and that it's all good. Everything you've done for yourself is what you've done. That doesn't go away.

Thanks rr. I'm a strange animal with only 3 hours of sleep. Still confused about t, but not beating myself up anymore cuz I went back to bed & got a little more sleep. (Woke up screaming "I'm going to get fired!" Cuz I was dreaming that I purposely forgot to go to work. Hmm.)

Count me in as worshipper!

I am medically above menopausality. Can I be the goddess? You know, like Artemis is a virgin but also the goddess of childbirth?

I was hoping you'd volunteer!

I require as sacrifice hecatombs of therapists. Just fyi.

What's a hecatomb #toolazytolookitup

A sacrifice of one hundred animals, usually cattle.

Is that like, what do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the sea?

(Answer: a start - no actual lawyers were harmed in the repeating of this antique joke).

Okay - AFAIK

Ugh. H keeps asking me why I'm sad. I keep saying I'm fine. Now he asked "did that woman say something last night?"

sigh.

He's talking to SD

That woman. Like shes the OTHER woman. He better go buy some roses and champagne and a coupla steaks. And some chocolate!

Eta - while the boy is out of town. Just TELL him. Or cake.

Would you take seriously a therapist who sends emojis of Xmas trees and gifts?

(Asking for a friend.)

I thought of SDs "the woman" when he said that and did cheer up a little.

He was SO against me going. I should have listened this time, I guess. Sorry y'all. I'll work this out.

Wait, tell him what?

(((Jdna)))) i play AnimalCrossing on my Ds 3DS. Dont think you are pathetic at all.

Just got home from grocery shopping with h. He told me to pick out 6 bottles of wine, because it's part of my Christmas present. Huh wha??? He thought up a Christmas present for me!!! I am so crazy-touched!! He always tells me to buy myself something. In fact I'd already bought myself a book about dream interpretation anticipating what he always says. He thought of a Christmas gift for me. I will have something under the tree this year. I am touched beyond belief. Seems kind of silly, I guess, but I really am.

I have beenwondering whythecatswerejumping at one place on the wall. I couldnt see anything.anyway itookmyglasses off to have a lookandd there were tinytiny tiny ants running out of this tiny holeandupmywall there must be a nestin mywall.

Does anyone remember the problem with the termites i had earlier when i moved into this public housing place and how they sent a pest guy out had he recommended some things and then when i kept ringing maintenance i got the run around? Well i rang them last week because there were fresh tunnels got someone who actually cares and my house has been sprayed and a building inspector is taking the planks offf my front wall where all the damge is and is having a look

Jdna the camper looks great i know the effort that probably went iinto that.

I saw one who signed all her emails with a cactus emoji, remember?

So...no.

Eta—art, the wine will go nicely as libations before the hecatombs.

I was thinking tell him to make you a party to make you feel better. Im innocent!

I still want chocolate and roses and steak!!
