Couch 189: The Oxford Couch

We're in our room now, soooo charming. Pics shortly.

Ugh, I'm sorry, Velcro...

Oooh, my dinner was so yum. Sesame tofu and broccoli, and garlic bok choy. With one little container of rice. Actually it was a 4pm breakfast! Not exactly diet but pretty light and im not stuffed! And i avoided my aunt's phone call while i was eating because i left my phone in the kitchen. Win-win!

I'm second guessing my surgery...I really don't think the risks are worth it

Sounds delicious! I've never had garlic bok choy, now I want some.

una, that sounds delish! Those are some of my favorite flavors, garlic and sesame. Pass the plate!

An interesting bedside lamp:

@velcro003 do you need to fix the laptop? I got a chromebook for less than $300. I just store everything on the cloud.

There are also 2 photo albums on the desk filled with letters from people. It's a very cool tradition that's been going on for 20+ years it started with this couple that came on their anniversary every year and stayed in this room and hid letters in the room. People would find them and start responding to them. Now they keep the letters in photo albums on the desk so when you stay here, you can read the letters and leave one of your own addressed to the original two "and future guests". I am going to write one from H and I to add to the collection. There are some really touching stories in the letters we've read so far.

eta: I think I'll write a poem to include in my letter.

Could you maybe talk to your doctor tomorrow? See if there are any other options? Or even if you just want to postpone for a bit to be sure?

I am calling her, but with my luck she will call when I am in session. She's a busy woman.

I am just freaking out, I can message you on FB some of what I found. It's really not worth it to me.... because my pain isn't even that bad these days

I love bok choy

that’s smart. my dad is sending me his old laptop, so thankfully i don’t have to buy anything.

I swear my aunt had that lamp!! I used to sit next to it at the end of the couch and read read read at holiday dinners and weekly card nights during my childhood.

Anyone around? I just got in a terrible fight with my husband, the kind that I don’t know if we can bounce back from.

i’m here.

Oh no

I'm so sorry. You can always message me

Thank you both. It was awful. And now he is saying that I said something which I did not say. I said something similar but not nearly as hurtful as what he’s claiming I said. I have no idea what to do, because I can’t apologize for saying something I didn’t say? Ugh. Sometimes being married to him feels like trying to to make two puzzle pieces work that just don’t go together.

We're putting our house up for sale on March 10th. My friend is going to deep clean our house on the 4th and 5th. Everything needs to be put away or packed by then. My dad and H have yet to pack a box. Instead they play games or watch tv all day long while I've packed a lot. I also do all the chores in the house. I'm so tired of these two lazy grown men who are slobs. Maybe they should try to survive with each other for awhile.

Did a small family "party" for my daughter's birthday today. She really seemed happy and excited about it all.

I seem to have lost my voice again today from another cold I have. I'm hoping it's better tomorrow. This bites.

Why??? What's wrong with it??? I honestly can't imagine why it would cost that much... and I have repaired dozens of laptops of various makes and models for various reasons.

i think this therapy thing works i managed to control my anxiety at the dentist today i did not cry or vomit and i asked for things like the numbing gel and not to lay too far back.

Well done, BCM.

I am about to leave for my first board meeting at work. A little nervous, although I know most of the people in attendance.

thanks lost i was quite proud of myself good luck with your board meeting
