Couch 185: The Labyrinth

Just reading through some posts...been hiding. My kids just got the Switch yesterday and they seem to like it. DH has a PS4 already.

I'm glad Christmas is over. My DHs grandma passed away on Saturday and my husband has been so irritable since. Yet he won't talk to me and says he's not being snippy with us. He already took all the Christmas decorations down last night because he said he was sick of looking at them. I can't win at all.

I should be a diligent little professor and write some lectures for the spring term today.

Or use last years,and just change the year on the first page

Hi everyone! I'm back from the Christmas Holidays. I'm super depressed today though. I don't know if it is the missing my former T, or the letdown after the holiday, or just what exactly. But basically not feeling well at all. I had some visual hallucinations at my sisters, every time I went into her garage. It scared the crap out of me. Went and saw Mary Poppins Returns yesterday which was good. Not as good as the original, but still good, uplifting etc. Just feel like crap today though. Bleh. Kit

That sounds like the psychotherapy course I did. We were actually given criteria documents with 6 year old due dates that hadn't been updated.

Yes I have...this stuff has been going on for 3 years. He doesn't care what I have to say about it. He just wants what he wants and pouts or gets in a crap mood when he doesn't get it.

i wasn’t trying to one-up you. just was commiserating.

As a non-player, this is my favorite part, because if I want to watch the tv, my kid will often switch to the console so he can play his game and keep me company while I fold the laundry. (Which is usually the only time I watch tv.)

Can’t, new course.

Plus even in established courses I make notes after every lecture about what didn’t work and try to fix the lecture the next time.

There is really no excuse for that.

What’s the topic?

Can we help? We could write one like that round robin story game, each person adds a sentence. Bet that would be a fun lecture to give!

Okay. Why study ancient Rome? (It’s the first lecture.)

I’ll just chill here while you all do the work.

Hmm... I wonder if this would somehow dovetail with the lecture I frequently give that begins, Were you raised by wolves?

To get enough credits to graduate?

Because all roads lead there?

Well, Romulus and Remus founded Rome after being raised by a wolf. Then Romulus murdered Remus.

And that is what happens when one let's themselves be raised by wolves.
A lesson for us all really

Replace "by wolves" with "in a barn" and you have the majority of my household lectures lol.

Did they have a choice? Romulus and remus I mean. (I am not that familiar w the story and really wonder.)

My mother's was a pig sty.

I just washed up all the dishes from yesterday and I actually whined and procrastinated for nothing. Made breakfast for the little (at 2 p.m. but whatever) and now back to the daybed puzzle. No company expected today so no excuse!

I am so not motivated to work today.

Me either. I hear you. I was hoping work would be a distraction today but ah, not so much. Although it is 3.5 hours into my shift already but I also already got most of my work done so lots of time to browse on PC. I hope your workday goes by quickly. Kit

A choice about being raised by wolves you mean?

Nah. It’s just a folklore motif, being raised by animals. They’ve also got the Moses found-in-a-basket motif too.
