Couch 191: The Lazy Caterer Couch

Years ago I saw a therapist for only one session because he was awful. It was at a bad time on a particular issue that he advertised himself as an expert on.

Now years down the line, I co-manage a local therapists' group and he has joined and offered to do a workshop on this issue. I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember me. My other co-manager knows (a close friend of mine) but the committee doesn't, and there's no real way I can be like "no" for no reason. So I guess I excuse myself for that session? I can't imagine sitting through that workshop knowing what a useless, insensitive arse the facilitator is.

That's a tricky one, Echoes. Sorry to hear.

Nearly going on 3 months without T and it's getting closer to my birthday...which always depresses me. This is gonna be a tough week to try to stay focused and not spiral.

I am waiting to see how many Acks that earns.

First walk of the day, to the library to study for awhile. It's only a little over a mile from my house.

Omg my best friend just told me about her dream that my t died of a heart attack

I'm freaking the hell out

A student is accusing me of writing trick questions because he thinks the words “site” and “level” mean the same thing. (The question uses “site” as in “archaeological site.”)

I am resisting calling him a moron or sending him a link to a dictionary.

I'm going to a board game meetup today.

Sorry but I laughed when I read this.

Sounds fun

What kind of games? Like traditional board games or Settlers of Cataan types?

Have fun!

Have fun!!

I used to belong to a women's board game group, good times. Have fun!

I'm enjoying watching the little kids finding ways to play in the library while still being quiet. So cute. I think I may be ready to be a grandma! Oh my!!

Back to studying, Art....

I’m going outlet shopping today. (Well more window shopping. I won’t buy much) it’s going to be a whopping 48 degrees today which is much warmer than it’s been all week so today is a good day to get outside and get some air. Later H and I are going to a pub to get some bar food. I may or may not drink myself silly, but then I would blow my diet for the day if I do. Well you only turn 40 once, right? After dinner we are coming home and I plan to watch Mary Poppins Returns on my firestick. My house needs a good cleaning but I don’t care today. Life and responsibilities will resume tomorrow.

Send the dictionary link to the student. Pretty please? I want to see the response. Hahahaha.

This is the most depressing thing I have heard all week.

When I get to the last academic year before I retire, it's going to be no-holds-barred on the students.

Gosh, the adults are louder than the kids in here. I'm about 2/3 of the way thru this chapter, learning about telescopes.

I just learned that a satellite TV dish is a small radio telescope.

2.Eat Well for less- (watching others shop is oddly satisfying )

Gregg Wallace and Chris Bavin show a family how to spend less in the supermarket.

I rolled my eyes so hard they popped out of my head. Someone able to crawl under the Couch and find them for me?



Actually I’m not sure who’s got it worse, @@ who has to deal with the...student is the politest word I can think of, or the student who will live their life thinking the people around them are constantly trying to trick them with vocabulary.

Kids are awesome- I think you'll be a great granny.

Happy birthday Jersey.

I wanted her to do the same thing, but didn't say so.
