Couch 181: The Symmetrical Couch

I moved into my new place and this is my first night sleeping there. I am excited but it is also scary, because I’m on my own again and there are so many trauma fears I have with being alone in a home.

I need to get my tv hooked up so I can have noise on. Right now I’ve been streaming on my ipad but when I web surf I have to deal with the quiet again.

Ugh.

My family so rarely does drama.
I texted everyone in August about switching family Thanksgiving to the next day, Friday--everyone can make it and we can get a cheap space with room for all of the grown children who keep getting taller and getting girlfriends and husbands and friends and so forth, and room for all of the pie and sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce to feed all the of the people and their girlfriends and husbands and friends and do forth.

Now my sister has a bug up her...ear.
Which she posted about on Facebook instead of calling me.
Thanksgiving used to be her favorite holiday and now it's not because she's going to be alone.
Despite having been given opportunity for scheduling input in August. (Literally--I asked everyone what do you think, will this work?) And again two weeks ago.
And now she's not answering my texts



Thanksgiving is still my favorite holiday, and I love my sis, and I know we'll all eventually get on over ourselves, but this is really unusual and my feelers are hurt. What the heck?

I HATE that first night in a new place. I turn into a 3 year old. I even know exactly what nightmares im going to have.

At least the whole USA will be up with you tonight watching the election returns - the results may be scary, but you WILL have company!

I strongly dislike when people air their stuff on Facebook. It just creates more drama than the situation calls for. Maybe your sister is just annoyed about other stuff and is making this a bigger deal than it is? If this was planned months ago and she just now has an issue with it I would just leave her to sit with it and let her figure out if she wants to be alone or be with the family.

The first night in a new place sucks big time.

I really really want to email t and ask if he has an appointment for me this week. He however, has stopped scheduling his own clients and will probably tell me to call the office in the morning. BUT, usually he knows when I ask I really need to see him, and will give me a time that may look closed in his schedule when the girls in the office look at it, but he knows that I could have it.

I need to go to sleep. I haven’t been sleeping well the past few nights because my husband and dog are in a competition to see who could snore louder. If it happens again tonight I’ll probably go to the couch and sleep. Husband is not here right now but my dog sounds like an old fat man snoring. She’s so loud.

Can you email and tell him exactly that? To please check the schedule himself because you really need to see him?

They found another cyst She said it's small. I have to wait for the doctor to get the report before I find out anymore. The fertility doctor wants me to go on birth control anyways, so maybe that will shrink the cyst? I really don't want another surgery.

Time for work. Another day. Another dollar.

When people would say that at work, somebody would always say, "oh, you got a raise?" Or, "Another fifty cents - inflation." So, here ya go.

Posting for the record - things are going well (one days worth of non-depression ), so poop must be coming down the pike. Keyword dread.

Eat more bran-flakes Una or use a stool softener.

Please reach out and email T healed.

I hope you hear something soon.

Yeah but did you see that thing? It looks like a rocket ship!

Seriously, i always say im gonna write it down next time i feel this dread but then i always say oh im just being silly and dont but then something happens and then im sorry i didnt. So now im prepared and if nothing bad happens i will just be happy. Btw im pooping fine! Otherwise i couldnt be happy.

Cardiology appointment tomorrow, to (presumably, hopefully) find out if I'll be having heart surgery soon. Pocket riders welcome...

In your pocket, Luc...covering my ears, but I'm there.

I'm in as well!

hops in...Kit

Anyone ever have a really shy, skittish kitty? All Amelia wants to do is hang out under the guest room bed. I did get her out for a while yesterday and held her and petted her and she was purring, but she feels comfortable in the guest room because that's right where she goes when she's done. She is eating and drinking water so I'm not worried about her stuck under there...its just that my sister is coming and needs the room. I might just have to see how my sister feels about sleeping with a kitty under the bed because my other kitty is not yet fond of new kitty and I don't think putting them both in my room is a good idea. Any suggestions anyone? Kit...who is more than a little worried how this is all going to work out.

Oh I did see that picture! It's massive. I'm official note taker for the group- so will say "Una was rightttttttt".

I didn't want to make constipation jokes incase you were being for realz and in pain.
