Couch 199: The Unennennium Couch

Thanks Lemoncake. I missed you too. I missed everyone here on PC! I'm not used to feeling ooey gooey towards current T. I even wanted to hug her today. So weird. But I'm like in this cocoon of how great she is. I really feel like she got me today.

Thanks Lemon. That's something I like being on this forum, that people get the attachment. Where something that probably seems so minor from the outside (to most people) can make me feel like I'm dying inside. I guess it's transference, too--this feels very much like a paternal transference reaction. I'm just not sure how to explain all the reaction stuff to T Monday. I'm worried he won't get it and then I'll just feel even more disconnected. I think he goes away in a month again, too. I admit I did send a one-sentence email saying how this stuff is still bothering me and I'll want to talk about it more Monday. Just like a heads up.

I also wrote to his backup T, R, but I have no idea if she reads/replies on weekends (she'd said after session was OK to contact her if I needed).

And now to go have dinner with H in blazing heat (well, we're eating inside, but it's horrible outside).

The Bicentennial couch?

Just don’t go anywhere near Roman numerals.

CC Ryder?

P.s. NO FOOD NAMES!!! For the same reason that cigarette ads are no longer on televisionne! "Show us your Lark!"

Ok the house and chickens I drew yesterday don't mean anything unless you combine them with dream I had last night and painting of the cockatoo I did for exT. There are parts that have to go so the chickens can come out. Chickens represent good things that I can't remember right now.

What about couch200: successful connection because of the http code for successful connections being 200 OK? Isn't that why we are all here to improve our connections? Both inside and out?

I’ll go find Lola Cabana, reach out and tell her the 200th couch is coming up soon.

Hopefully she stops in. I’ll go message her on Facebook.

I want to scream today. Our pipe completely ripped off from the sink and we had to replace it. H tried to call the landlord but he said it was our fault that it broke, we'd have to wait a week for the plumber to come out and he'd charge us to fix it. So H got his uncle over to help us replace it. And I apparently ran over a nail in H's car on the 1+ drive home from painting. I can't deal with anymore crap right now.
Here's the painting I did today with my friend and her daughters

Thats a great idea! We can...

"Party like it's Couch 199!"

That's just **** what did you do to cause that? What's his reasoning? Some land lords *shakes fist in the air*
Your painting looks great.

Or
Lola's Legacy Lives On?

I like Successful Connection.

I found this awhile ago feels relevant now

I just messaged her letting her know. I’ll let you guys know when she responds. I told her we are at the end of couch 199-so hopefully she drops in.

Hugs, SheHulk. Painting is nice!

I have no clue what his reasoning is. He didn't come over to look at it, just told H that he'll have to have a plumber come over to fix what we broke. It was rusted everywhere along the pipes. Funny thing is that my father lives with us and has replaced a lot of things already in the house, put in new windows in the basement, painted it, landscaped the yard, etc. It looks way better than when we moved in 6 years ago.

Over here that would be called reasonable wear and tear plus it's a fixture and the landlord is responsible and you send them an official notification to fix and if they don't you send them a breach of contract through the official govt dept even if it is a private rental

My sprained ankle is still healing but I have been unable to return to work (job is 8 hours of continuous walking and taking stairwells). H asked me why I wasn't going to work. I wanted to slap him and say "Really, you can figure this out". I'm in a boot now and that's making a big difference.

I've been out of work all week and H has been on vacation which has brought to light how emotionally abusive he is to me. I'm not putting up with it anymore - he either gets a therapist and learns to be appropriate with me or I need to start looking for a new address. UGH.

Kidney stones are not especially fatal. But they are painful.

Don't forget he had that bad bacterial infection a while back

Bicentennial Couch.

But he has no fever at the moment.

Great minds.

Today is ex-T's birthday. Kind of an anniversary simply because it makes me think of her. But I'm not letting it ruin my day. If she didn't leave me, I would have never met T, therefore I would never have met L. So in the end, it's all good.

Wow - Couch 200 is coming up! This was always a great place to hang. I made many friends here who were all very helpful. I’m Glad to see the space still going strong!
