Couch 196: Cinnamon Swirls

HUGS @LostOnTheTrail

How rude of me...*offers cake to the Couch tribe*

Chocolate, virtual, so gluten-free.

Thanks for the new couch. Gonna crash for a while.

Back from my root canal. Wowee! The endo looked like Beck Bennett, had the last name of a hockey player, and omg handled a pick like Gretzky I was like, root canals sure have changed! What else have i not done in 20 years that they do differently now?! REALLY looking forward to my next procedure! gonna google what he did to me, he said i should be able to see an example on youtube, he did it with eye thingies. I told him i liked him better than dr pimplepopper.

Yeah usually i get fat free feta, but once in a while i get french or bulgarian, and its like oh mama!

Hello new couch

OMG, I need this cushion, desperately!

Brave una. I could either have a root canal or have a tooth taken out. I chose removal and also because govt benefits don't cover root canals and would have to pay a couple of thousand dollars to have it done.

I am not going to take the letter to the meeting because what use would it be, besides calling him a liar in front of a witness it wouldn't change anything, and it would just add more stress which I don't need.

But I sooo want to call him a liar....

Yeah its a root canal in a tooth that already has a crown on it, so keeping my fingers crossed the crown doesnt need replacing. My regular dentist (fred macmurray) has to put a permanent filling over the root canal. Or max greenfield from The Neighborhood. Ran into him today too - he is so sweet! No baggage on these guys.

I am angry because obviously sometime ago when he started saying things like you have been coming for 6 years that's a long time and started putting doubts in my head and wasn't game enough to admit he had enough of working with me and it got out of hand on his side. Why didn't he just say it's not working?

I think, whenever you look at where you are in therapy, you are probably halfway through. Or maybe its like that old mathematician vs engineer joke, where theres a beautiful woman at the end of a hallway, and the two scientists are told they can walk towards her, but each time they can only cover half the distance. The mathematician says whats the use, i will never reach her. The engineer says so what - i can get close enough for all practical purposes.

Anyway, your t saw you as being halfway thru, and knew he didnt want to stay a regular t long enough to see you thru to the end. But he REALLY handled it wrong. And it sounds like he really didnt realize it. They can be astoundingly dumb.

Now it looks like we might lose the apartment. They want proof of income by Thursday. We won't have the money in the account until next Monday or Tuesday. And for some reason, they're refusing to take the escrow net sheet as proof. I'm going to talk to the assistant manager in about an hour to try to figure this out. This sucks!

In that analogy, una, I suppose I identify with the engineer... I got close enough. I'd been walking down that hallway for years.

Something happened last with D she was crying so heart wrenchingly and I am such an inept mother and I don't know how to handle people crying besides asking if they are ok and do they want a hug.i am not great about talking feelings so I feel she suffered alone. I did say she could talk tome if she felt like it.

Scarlet that seems so unfair if the document if from a solicitor that must count for something?

I pick up my car soon the engine faults were just random codes but one code was true the fuel level code whenever I fill up the fuel level never shows the tank as being full. Anyway if the ligh returns they will recheck it free of charge

I loathe car trouble. HUGS Kit

I happen to think you handled it well @BlessedCheeseMaker. You gave her a hug and told her she could talk to you if she wants to. That is all people need sometimes, to have someone there.

You’re my new Patrick Leigh Fermor.

You’ve even got the hat!

I think I am not super good at Adulting. But then I remind myself I just got through 3 days without my parents. I know three days isn't a lot, but it felt like a lot. Then when I try to think about getting my own place I just realize how unready I am.

Trigger for SH This makes for a difficult internal situation. Trying breathing exercises and other coping mechanisms that are healthy. It's just not the same....

I was trying to think of the word'manipulted' earlier. I feel manipulated by my T which is strange because we once had a session early on discussing how I let people manipulate me and I don't see it

I will try not to bore you again with my now exT. I have to go shopping anyway.
