Thanks to pocket riders! My un-ease prior to my session was so far anyway unfounded. Good work happened today.

I got the feeling today that I have changed in some big ways. When I look at L across the table, how I see her, it's just, well, it's different now...not sure how to explain it.

The audiobook of Les Miserables was fine. Was a bit slow in parts, but was overall not a bad listen.

The only Hemingway story I liked was The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber. And that was just because of how ironic I found the title to be. I didn't find his writing style interesting nor his underlying stories compelling.
In terms of sparse writers - I am more a fan of Raymond Chandler.

I don't know what this says about me and my tastes, but Les Miserables is my favorite novel, inane details and all.

Is that six? I love that story. Plus it reminds me of groucho marx's joke, last night i dreamt i shot an elephant in my pyjamas. What he was doing in my pyjamas i'll never know.

I'm actually out by myself at another concert...Backstreet boys this time. Yes, I'm totally fangirling since they were one of my first concerts when I was a teenager. Got myself a drink too.

I'm still uneasy about the partial hospitalization program. I haven't heard back yet about when I start or how long I can expect to be in the program. A few days, weeks, months? I have no idea. The social worker that did my assessment said I would hear back tomorrow and if not to call.

The only concert I've ever been to is Clay Aiken... and no, I did not select him myself. Went with my grandparents...

I'm such a loser!

Anyway, I just stumbled upon (ok, looked up) the therapist's ex husband. He is a real asshole and I find it disturbing that the therapist saw fit to marry and procreate with this person. If she thinks she can boss me around about my liaisons when she went and married a scumbag, she's wrong!

You don't think her experience might be helpful?

I just texted and asked if we could do something else.

By some fluke, there have been zero patients in the ICU for the last two nights so I've spent my shifts just sitting around waiting for the code pager to go off. It's soooooo boring and also weirdly stressful just waiting around for a disaster to happen.

So basically, I'm sick of being bored and am not down to be even more bored tonight. If he thinks I'm a flake then whatever. I just broke up with my BF about a month ago and am still kind of on the rebound so I don't think this is anything serious anyway.

Also, totally ridiculous couch poll since I'm so effing bored: on a scale of 1 to 10, exactly how unprofessional is it to wear a dress with unshaved legs if your leg hair is blonde and practically invisible?

Morning couchies. Upon logging on to work a few minutes ago I learned there are big changes afoot. I do not like big changes. Don't like my comfy little work bubble being popped. It might be time to look at moving to another department/role.

Ex for a reason I'm sure. Lots of people marry a person only to realise they are not who they seemed to be. I've known lots to get out of relationships that went bad. No one is awful all the time, it's what draws people in.

Last fall Mr. Murse survived an 18-inning World Series game for me.

Like that first long trip together, it’s a good relationship test.

And I wish I had blond leg hair.

Clay Aiken. I wanna laugh, but thats really kinda sad. I mean, grandparents actually taking a granddaughter to go see. Thats a whole lot of cognitive dissonance right there.

@ArtieSwimsOn - I see you. Changes over here too. 'Comfy little work bubble'...that's exactly it.

Thank you. Change is hard when it's the one place you feel or I guess used to feel on an even keel. Now I'm kinda feeling rudderless...

I also don't understand h at all. I was planning on cooking for him after work today (I like to cook, it calms me) and asked if he would like me to make spaghetti or meatloaf. His response: "I don't give a ****."

?????? What the **** did I do now?!

I'm not cooking anything after all.

Add me to the list wishing I had blonde leg hair. Dark hair and fair skin sadly makes the hair quite obvious. On the plus side, I have long dark eyelashes, so don't need mascara. Somehow, my D ended up with long dark eyelashes yet blonde hair, including body hair. She also tans ridiculously easily, while H and I...don't (H is a freckled redhead, I'm a fair-skinned brunette who freckles in the sun). D gets adorable freckles on her face in the sun. "Freckles" is a funny word.

Ugh, I hate when H says he doesn't care what we have for dinner. Or else he's like "eh" to everything when I suggest several different things. Like, fine, we'll just do our own thing for dinner then (which I find we do quite often).

I disagree in theory - I don't know who clay aikin is. I adored my grandparents and wanted to go everywhere with them. I did all sorts of stuff with them that I would not have done on my own or with friends. I was taken to see all sorts of different concerts - often involving big band music (way after the heyday) and once Liberace. There were a lot of sequins.
