Couch 198: All the Countries Couch

Now that I have a working stove I have decided to transition from frozen dinners and take out back to healthy food gracefully... today that means steak-um’s and microwave Mac-n-cheese. Don’t want to upset my delicate digestive system. Lol

Omers, i think we are twins separated at birth!

I want mine NOW!!

Thank you for tolerating my idiocy

Thinks:
Feelings that have been repressed come out in a gush. That makes them look stronger than they really are.

i feell all alone at home. F this.

Glad to hear that! I knew something had to exist for him. Hope you can get him there without arrest...

Ah. This sounds very wise to me and makes a lot of sense in my case. And it's making other feelings that have also been suppressed start clamoring for attention as well.

H just left for Texas (a long distance delivery). Guess we won't be talking tonight....

Gush is a funny word.

Gush you wont be talking tonite!

Eta - i want candy now!

But a particularly fitting one I think!

Me too. Chocolate.

30min until I can leave work and go home to nap!!!

I hope it goes quickly for you. I have 1.5 hours til I am free to go in search of above-mentioned chocolate.

I broke a crown yesterday. The dentist appointment today took almost 2 hours. I was so anxious my muscles were hurting from being tensed up. I don't normally have dentist anxiety. I think after the traumatic stuff of late, I don't particularly enjoy having people invading my personal space. Plus they kept trying to small talk me, which I hate because I don't have a life and no fun plans for the weekend and no, I didn't do anything for my recent birthday. And they asked me as I was checking out if I wanted to make an appointment for my husband, which I figured was coming at some point, but I really didn't want to hear it. The woman probably thinks I'm terribly rude because I told her not to ever ask me about him again. We'll see if she actually fixed it. The last time I told them to remove him from my account, they still left voice mails trying to get him to set up an appointment. I feel really tired now.

"Don't care how, I want it now!" (A la Veruca Salt in the 70's version of Willie wonka)

Una, once I find all my cooking gear I will make you some fudge, caramel, toffee, home made marshmallows... even peeps if you are so inclined! Just before my stove said it’s final goodbyes I was working on figuring out home made bit-o-honey.

I want to learn to make marshmallows but never seem to get around to it. No overtime this weekend... maybe it's time!

L was right yesterday when she said this class is bringing up a lot of emotion for me. It really is, writing to specific prompts and stuff.

Marshmallow is pretty easy... I’ve wondered about making rice crispy treats right from fresh marshmallows and skipping some mess but have not tried it yet.
My chocolate repertoire is limited as I have a nasty knack of eating the chocolate before anything else can be done with it.
I love doing all the old time candies and baking. And... I stress cook... sadly my work and my husbands work have learned that they eat well if I am under a certain amount of stress....

I’m home from work.

That is all. The crazy stops for the weekend and will resume on Monday. And I pretty much just had to commit to going part time with the current family so that they keep me a little longer since the new job doesn’t start until July 29. I guess some income is better than no income. But now I have to reach out to all my contacts and old families to secure date nights and stuff (which pretty much means booking myself with something everyday so that I don’t lose income)

There is Stromboli in the oven and ice cream for dessert if any of you want to join me in my tasty, fatty food pity party tonight.

I'm planning one of those too but not sure what I'm having. Probably taco bell.

My h moved out a week ago.. the kids are spending their first weekend with him now. And I am very lonely. It feels way worse than I ever imagined it to feel.

That’s my moms go-to food. I used to love Taco Bell, but the last time I tried it I felt really sick afterwards.
