Couch 180:

((((ScarletPimpernel))))

My Dad made green chili chicken enchiladas for dinner last night and he said I could take some to lunch today. MMM. So much better than the PB&J I usually eat.


The anxiety is driving me crazy today. The meds helped, but it just took the edge off and I still feel the anxiety underneath. Then I just feel a weird mix of dissociative and spacey and tired. Wish I could go home and leave work early. Kit.

(((((Scarlet))))) you will be a "good enough" mum and that's all you'll ever need to be

Almost done at work for the day. Then it's the weekend. Have errands to do tonight. Wish I was just going home and relaxing. Goodnight Couch! Kit.

Such awful irritability. The cats are keeping a low profile except one who now thought it might be a good idea to swipe at my ankles from under the bed. I totally trashed a painting i was working on. I am just going to lie on my bed to see if it passes.

I have a 5 yr old macbook pro that I love but I have worn the lettering off of the A, S, and period keys. I am trying to see if I can find replacements for those 3 keys.

I had no issues with replacementlaptopkeys.com. But also mine wasn't an apple product.

Serves you right for typing "***." every time you replied to a student (or Supreme Court judge).

In the meantime, try "Donkey."

If there’s nothing wrong with the key why not just write or tape the symbol on?

One little-known advantage of Mac keyboards is that when a cat walks across it, you pick them up, and they dig their claws in, it’s much harder for them to pry off a key, unlike on most PC keyboards. Senior cat taught me that.

It's all those ellipses........

You should try an interrobang once in a while to mix things up!?!?!?

Knowing Apple, getting replacement parts will be hard. Even if you just want to replace a battery in a model that's a few years old it's almost impossible. The company wants you to buy a new laptop/phone/anything at all if something minor is broken about the old item.

Not sure if that would work with Tigger though, she's a Little Miss Bouncealot

Also have a Macbook Pro--3 years old maybe? And I've worn off part of the S key.

The exclamation point key is just fine.Not used much since I don't type many numbers and I doubt I have ever had occasion to use the key for punctuation purposes.

I have had better luck with apple repair than I have with a 2017 samsung pc that needed a new battery.

I am trying to envision a sentence in which SD would use an exclamation point and failing miserably.

I understood ex-hankster!...nope.

I found a non-crazy therapist!...nope.

They brought Caruso back to life!...maybe.

I doubt I would use one even if I won the giant lottery or found the cure for the common cold.
I mean, I might smile for a minute, but that is probably the extent of it.

Karma in action.

I went to a coffee shop this morning to meet Y (a girl in my class). I was early. I grabbed a table. The woman opposite me on the sofa left, but I noticed that she left her fancy smartphone. I went running after her- she'd just walked out of the shop. She said thank you and I went to sit back down. She later came back and gave me a £10 gift card for the coffee shop. I can get 4.5 iced coffees or chocolate cake for breakfast: guilt free.

Y irritated me though.I wanted to study but she kept talking every 5 mins, so I might go back tomorrow without telling her.

I can't picture it either!!!

4.5 iced coffees?

Oooo this made me smile CE!

They're priced at £2.20 each, but soooo good and totally worth it.They use iced milk. I haven't bought one in the three weeks I've been back at school.

Ah. I make my own cold brewed coffee which I like for iced coffee.

Oooo I haven't tried making it myself- but looked it up online.
