Couch 185: The Labyrinth

I'm starting to feel somewhat better than I have been physically, but I'm still absolutely exhausted. The anger is coming through again as well...I don't know what that's about.

I have to check about looking it up online on how to deactivate it or that's even possible. I probably could have taken my father's truck if needed. I ended up going out shopping for an hour with my youngest to give us both space. The SH wasn't as bad I as I thought it was after I looked at it.

My T called me this morning and I was able to talk to him for 15 minutes. He said he would be available tonight if I wanted to call again or I can just wait until I see him on Wednesday. I'm so thankful I found him for a T.

Hugs, Jersey.

Of course he wants to forget everything he said. Which really means he wants you to forget.



I'm sorry he's see-sawing. Back-and-forth can be exhausting.
However you decide to handle this, you are in control of your timeline.

Send H to the movies if he comes back when he starts getting on your nerves?

More seriously, there are giftcard exchange sites online. You can trade for something you would use.

I started sorting my storage locker, choosing clothes to donate. It wasnt nearly as heinous a process as i long feared it would be. Getting old has its advantages.

He’s not allowed back right now. He only came back because his mother and sister didn’t support him. Guess once he saw that, he figured being here isn’t so bad after all?

I actually called my sister about the gift cards. I asked her what made her think I would enjoy a movie gift card and she told me she thought I would want to see Mary Poppins Returns. She had good intentions. I felt bad I was a ***** about it. I’m actually not interested in seeing Mary Poppins Returns. Mary Poppins was one of my favorite childhood movies, but I think they should have just left well enough alone and not made another one even though I think the story line is slightly different. I think between the original Mary Poppins and Saving Mr. Banks (which I thought was a great movie) they didn’t need to make another one based on Mary Poppins and could have left well enough alone.

He doesn’t believe in counseling at all. And I made a promise to myself I would never return to therapy for anything. I need to focus more on my
Physical health right now. I’m quite overweight. I’m going to see a doctor at a weight loss clinic and would rather put my money towards that.

I am flying home with new cat tomorrow and very anxious about it.

I’m sure things will go smoothly.

Was that a big box or a quality box?

It beats me how advertisements ever make any money. Surely no one actually watches them?

Having never flown with a cat, I have a question: Does the cat fly with you in a carrier, or do you check the cat into some kind of special pet travel like a piece of luggage?

Hugs. I hope the trip goes well, and if not that YouTube makes your cat famous for a day .

H and I worked all afternoon on the "library" room. It's coming along. Now he wants to go see a movie. The newish one with Robert Redford and Sissy Spacek.

We seem to be getting along so well since son moved out. Is that like a normal thing to happen?! I wonder.

Carrier in the cabin under the seat. Pets can be checked but there’s no need with a small 8 lb. cat.

I once saw Grumpy Cat in an airport. That cat is a millionaire. Why can I not have millionaire cats?

ATAT -I hope it goes okay and that the tsa idiots don't let him out of the carrier again.

I would not want a millionaire cat - imagine the haughty attitude of a cat who knew they could get another minion with merely a twitch of their tale. It chills me to think the places where the cat could stash my body.

You saw grumpy cat at the airport once? Did you get his autograph? I would be totally starstruck.

I am watching the new season of Angie Tribeca - I think it is very funny.

And so far my favorite switch game is pianista. I totally suck at it but it is fun.

My dad and I just finished building an entertainment center. My back is killing me, but it's really nice. I did most the work, and only made one mistake. He helped mostly guide me. It was a nice project to do together.

I caught a cold somehow. My depression and anxiety probably lowered my immune system because I rarely get sick. I feel so foggy.

Still upset about the situation with T. I'm trying to not think about it. It's hard though.

Serious question, does anyone know how hard it is to write a book? Even self publish... not for me but my disabled sibling loves to write and he is talking about wanting to write a book about the struggles he has in life... so I want to try and help him out

It is difficult to write a book, I've tried writing stories before and never finish them. As for publishing them, you have to jump through a few million hoops

I'm thinking though ....... I might try writing a fictional "diary" about someone in hiding from the nazis in world war 2. Need to think about that.

Self-publishing is pretty easy, DP. There are online websites that help with the formatting. If he chooses to publish as an e-book, it’s even easier. It will cost a bit but it might be worth it to see his words in print.

Depends what he wants from the experience as well, DP, if he wants recognition then self publishing is much more work than going down a publisher route.

My foot's gone to sleep.

He—she?— was too busy being interviewed.

We are through security by virtue of a private screening. There was a small dog in the security line ahead of us—it just hung there from its owner’s arm all complacent. New cat curled her lip in scorn at its failure to Resist.
