Couch 161: The Hexagonal Pyramidal Couch

Just have to say, I haven't been around much since you've switched therapists, but I really think that your current T is a good one. And yeah, I emailed both of these gentlemen this morning and have already heard back from both. That's a good sign?

Someone (cough) already has a favorite.

I know we're not supposed to give medical advice, but im getting a little worried about your cough!

still got my fingers crossed!

Thanks, Dr. Una!

It’s the waiting list, to be enrolled in treatment first time.
I have been going private before, I searched and found someone I believed was a good one, after getting one I didn’t like in the «official health care».
If I called my old one, I would probably get a session next week.

I’ll give them a chance first, maybe I get someone I like.

I’m okay- it’s just been a long winter

I personally think it's a good sign...especially considering it's a Saturday. Are you going to make an appointment with one or both?

Also, based on my experience with current T, if a new T seems like an arrogant d-bag at first, consider giving him a few sessions

I’d forgotten how much Blondie looks like Betsy DeVos.

Depends on availability. I have almost zero flexibility right now. Unless it's a weekend. Gosh I miss RoboT sometimes.

I feel you there. I really liked when t worked on Saturdays. So much better than going straight from work.

That's got to be the most damning thing you've said about Blondie. I hope their similarities end with looks because...scary.

As a SPED teacher, that name triggers me

She can’t help it?

No, she’s severely / virulently anti all things Orange man.

It just suddenly took me aback when I saw DeVos’ photo again (the lawsuit).

My T works some (but not all) Sundays. That's partly because he works with teens. Hope you can find one with a schedule that works for you. Working from home makes scheduling with a T easy for me. Though I feel like ex-T took that for granted--she tended to just have one random slot to offer me and refused to give me a set appointment time--current T doesn't have set appointments either, but he tends to give me multiple options (and usually offers me the same slot). I do need to get back into a regular job at some point though...this can be so isolating...and I could do to make more money!

Ex-T and MC were very anti "Orange Man." The p-doc who works in their office (who I used to see at one point) actually showed up in all black the day after election day--someone said she looked like she was in mourning, and she said she was! MC called himself "The libbiest lib who ever libbed" (referencing liberals).

I'm still trying to figure out new T's politics. I've floated a few things, trying to see if he'd slip, but he was on to me, I think! But based on where he's from and where he lives now (very liberal/democratic areas), and a few things he's said, I have to believe he's at least not pro-Orange Man, even if he could possibly have some Republican leanings (I kinda doubt he does though--moderate? Maybe).

And, as you could probably guess, I'm quite liberal.

I think this means your therapist is better looking than mine.

But confirms my impression that Info is hipper.

Are we going to rank our T's on attractiveness? I think my current T would do well. MC...less so.

Er, it's already been confirmed that my ex-T and captgut's T are the official winners of Mr. T Universe...

ETA: except I should shut up really 'cos you've seen pictures of him and therefore know that he's really only 'mildly attractive'

Ok the infectious disease doc was just here. He was very patient and let us ask our questions and answered them well we thought. The antibiotic h has been on for the past 24 hrs is working. He is changing h over to an oral one (Bactrim) and likely discharging h tomorrow!! Yay! This yoyo stuff is making me insane.

I should’ve said it’s DeVos minus a couple of decades.

Blondie strangely resides in the 50s it seems while also being rather up on pop culture — E.g. She knows who Halsey (the singer) is and decided to subject me to a video of her performance at the Women’s March as soon as I walked into session on Wed (and then hovered on the edge of her seat wondering why I looked rather shell-shocked at the end of it) and made it a point to specifically let me know her husband had sent it to her (when I was cribbing about how most men I know always appear flabbergasted when they hear about awful stuff that women are kinda aware of from when they’re really young).

So glad to hear that, Art!

Awesome news, Art!!!

But, we haven’t done the women. We should remedy this lest we be accused of reducing men to sex objects.

None of mine qualify. They’re all 50s/60s and run to the dowdy side, except Info, who will never be described with the word dowdy.

Former T would be hotter than current T in my estimation but then I need to factor in the fact that former T being a total jerk and current T not being a jerk is likely playing into how my screwed up brain parses hotness (nice = not hot).

Meh, T(wat) isn't much use as anything other than a sex object to be fair...

Info dresses pretty raunchily right? Does that get her plus or minus points in the Ms T Universe competition...?
