Couch 201: The Transformative Grammar Couch

Morning couchies. I'm up early and getting ready to head out to the hotel where the christmas in july event is happening today. Gotta be up there at 7 am to get all the setting up done, then the families start arriving at 11am. Gonna be a busy day!

One of the guys who was helping with the unloading/packing/loading up toys yesterday happened to mention that he has a friend who's getting rid of big tubs of yarn if anyone wanted it. I was like ooh! ooh! meeeee! My work friend who does this event has inspired me so i have decided to make some of those afghans I am so enamored of making (the star ones that I've made 6 of so far and given away 5) and donate them to someplace, maybe the local children's hospital, so heck yeah I want all that yarn for that project. I hope he is still able to get it for me.

Have a good day all, hugs and head nods all around as appropriate!

Had an intense session yesterday and am now feeling awful. I am so tired of this.

An economics exam that asks “which of these graphs best describes the market for paintings by Van Gogh?” is my kind of exam.

(If you know he’s dead it’s an easy question.)

I think this medication will be the end of me. three times a week I feel like I'm so exhausted I cant move and spouse has exactly zero sympathy for it. It's ok during the week as I'm working and can just drink coffee and get on with it.

Saturday when I have to interact is when everything falls apart which is even more exhausting.

Artie, re tubs o' yarn: you are in sync with the universe! Good thing you took that astronomy class! Har har... but seriously, what a miracle.

I wish my therapist would email me back. I’m thinking of acting out.

Maybe you could make a certain couchie a Christmas jumper ?

(hint, hint hint me)

I hope you call him first chihiro.

You deserve so much better Scarlet. Those kind of feelings don't just go away because you change the subject.

Oh I was gonna pick C.

?? I always pick pie.

Isnt there something missing here?

Pie is usually the best thing to pick.

Umm the actual images of the graphs?

Lucky you, that was the correct answer.

There was another question about pie. What makes a pie larger and what makes it divided more evenly?

Okay, here.

One graph showed supply vertical and a normal demand curve.

One graph showed supply vertical and demand horizontal.

One graph showed demand vertical and a normal supply curve.

One graph showed normal supply and demand curves.

Oh I actually understand the answer.

(As most stuff usually goes over my head).

Whats a normal supply curve? Wouldnt the supply have uh flatlined? Ha ha i kill me! Thank you i'll be here all night!

I'm struggling physically again today. I think the sudden increase in activity is wearing me out. I didn't get any discharge instructions to what to look for, so I'm just waiting for my wound clinic appt on Monday and my follow up with my pcp on tuesday.
H and I have been getting into it because he read my Facebook messenger chat with a friend where we were talking badly about him. I told him what he's been doing is unacceptable. Also found out that my cousin called one of my brothers while I was in the hospital. She told him I was in the hospital and asked him to come break my Hs legs or hands. Of course he said no but I was upset that she did that.
I'm trying to not call T this weekend. He's already been so helpful while I was in the hospital, so he needs a break from me.

Okay, here is my official pronouncement - i should probably start a separate thread to keep track. Unas omens. Everything is going fine, im actually feeling pretty clam.

Which means SOMETHING should blow up shortly.

Who wants to hear my great inheritance haul? One silver tray with family crest and motto,what looks like the complete collection of Wilbur Smith novels and a collection of those souvenir spoons.
I wonder if my step siblings and spawn got the money

When my biological mother died her sister, my aunt who raised me, went to her funeral etc and came home with souvenir spoons too.

As an aside, I'm mildly impressed you have a family motto

My grandfather was disinherited when he moved to London to become a bookbinder.

Hi couchies! Home from the Christmas in July event. We worked non-stop for 10.5 hours setting up, running, and packing up from the event. We didn't stop to eat and only drank a few sips of water here and there and the only time I sat down (once) was cuz I had to pee. haha! But it was a very successful day!! There were LOTS of happy kids, lots of big smiles and giggles and OOH'S and AAAH's and excitement as the kids came through and got to choose a toy. I'm exhausted but it was fun and so worth it.

My grade-grubbing student just email me to complain about a quiz question and said I was wrong about the answer. I took quiet pleasure in informing her it was her mistake--she had thought the prefix was ad- when it fact it was a-. Totally changes the meaning of the word.

The stress puppy student has been quiet lately, so the grade-grubber is now my major irritant.
