WHAS is one of my favorite movies. I like to do the Paul Rudd throwing a fit in the cafeteria when i am frustrated. Also, waiting for Guffman is also awesome, and all the movies with Christopher Guest.

WFS--

Was that the Chen video? This one is more clear and her finished product looks better, I think:

The cloth wraps are great and very traditional. If you can get fabric cheap--like remnants from a craft store, in @ a 18" or 26"/28" square, you can use them to wrap a lot of things from boxes to wine bottles. Look on-line for furoshiki. The nicest effects are with 2 sided designs.

It is so good of you to give him this good memory. My memory of moving out for the first time? - "it's complicated".

To avoid nightmares I am going to stay up as long as possible. All night if need be.

I see no downside at all to this plan. It’s a master stroke of genius. If I do say so myself.

I have done it. I actually sleep better and have fewer nightmares if I sleep in the daytime.

Today in session i was a bit put out because my T now has a ergonic kneeling chair and a small table to write on. This disturbed me for a reason. Its just weird like hes hovering in mid air or something

Dec 10, 2018, 12:05 AM

My D found her connecting fligt ok. I feel better now.

Those are hard on the knees. Esp for us fat old Catholics. I dont kneel anymore, and its been a looooooooong time since ive been able to. Like more than 20 years. And my knees only started bothering me walking like 5 years ago.

You should just invite me over! I'd happily do it- I love wrapping presents and it makes me so happy on the inside getting nice crisp edges.

The view from my balcony, and my bed it's a cool headboard!

Much needed Artie time has begun! (oh yeah eta: also a reward for finishing my Stats class! Well there's one more class period, but I finished the homework and the take-home exam yesterday so there's nothing left to do but to go and turn them in at this point.)

The view is lovely- I hope you can unwind and really enjoy your ME time.

I've never seen them before, they look handy and something I'd want to try.

Fab news!!

Brief moment of pride...just had an email from my boss that included the phrase 'Delighted you are part of the team'. That should spark the flame for the rest of this week.

How long have you been dealing with these nightmares for?

Maybe she could try Dramamine, which is likely called something different where you are. Or those wristband things that work with accupressure.

Dr T posts and In Session Today definitely contributed to that. Don’t forget to thank him in your award speech. “First I want to thank Dr T for helping make this possible. I would be remiss if I didn’t thank The Couch Thread. So thank you! Thank you all!”
