Couch 179: Even-numbered days in a year

Apparently the US has two National Pancake Days, one in February, one in September. And there’s an International Pancake Day in March.

No objections here.

Oh (((lemoncake))) what a mess of a session. Im so sorry.

People are eating Candy Corn Pizza.

Play with the cat until he is exhausted (like with a wand toy), regularly, every day, esp. in the evenings so you can get some sleep. He needs to get out some of that energy so he doesn't do it in destructive ways.

Then feed him after you play with him:

"Hunt, catch, kill, eat" = cat instincts

That is just gross.

I'm sorry, Lemon, that sounds so difficult...

National Psychotherapy Day makes me want to skip therapy today.

Maybe I’ll send Info an email wishing her Happy National Psychotherapy Day.

URS, you should skip therapy. After all, this is a day for therapists. They should have a holiday. Maybe that’s why Info is off this week.

(((Lemoncake)))
It feels like you're trying to push him away. I know being at home must be stressful for you. I wish you could use your therapist to get support instead of seeing him as the enemy.

Good Morning Couchies. Big meeting at work today. A possible investor/buyer which I am going to have a main part in the meeting. Feeling a little nervous. Mostly I don't know what to expect. Hopefully I have the right answers.

Mmmm. National Pancake day! Sounds delicious!

I want to stay in bed all day

They should. T1 is off this week, too!

I would just have a phone session (saves the effort of getting ready and driving there), but I have to go that way anyway for my dry needling appt. So I guess I should just suck it up.

We care, LabRat...

If anyone needs a laugh today (or to feel really smart)...

Jasper and I feel similarly about mornings

Aww cute!

(((Lemoncake))) what a difficult session. I'm so sorry the stuff with the train happened I'm sure that had a lot to do with the way things went w t. Were you able to tell him that's why you were late? Therapy is so hard. I don't think t's should ever act like they think we're wasting their time. Not saying yours did, what you wrote sorta sounds like you think he thought that? I could be completely wrong here. Please be gentle with yourself. Hearing that the trains were stopped for that reason would freak me out. Actually I can't imagine it not being unsettling for anyone. Hugs

I probably would not have been unsettled by such news. It would unsettle me more for someone to be pushed if I was going to be actually unsettled. That is not to say I would be happy, but just not unsettled. I would probably be more musing like why that way at that time of day etc. The pondering of details (albeit unknown) might interest me. I would probably be more like poor guy and go on. My being upset is not going to help him any.

Ewwwwwwwww I'm going to hide under here before that ..... thing ..... jumps out the computer screen and gets me

(((((Labrat and Lemoncake)))))

Hugs to all those who need it!

I did tell him. I know I'm not an easy client.I don't want to fight with him, but at the same time I know how to push him and get under his skin and I want to burn things down because I can't stand him being kind to and feeling close to me.

I've had those kind of thoughts and actually did this morning too. I'm okay Finally packed everything I'm taking back 4 Harry Potter books which I'm planing on staying in bed with for the 4 days before school starts and I feel like I'm ready to leave. I have a yucky 4.00am alarm for an 8am flight.

I asked work for accommodations and I don't think I am going to get them. The bosses are claiming undue hardship. And there's nothing I can do. I cried at work and all the way home. The message being sent is I'm not good enough.
