Maybe you were reading too much about therapy?

I am so so so so so ready for the weekend. Like seriously. C'mon 4:30!!! I have to go to my T's office tonight and try to sort out the billing. My explanation of benefits has been showing that I don't owe a copay but they have still been collecting one. I let it go for a few times, but now I have about 8 of them, and I'm like, hmm, I should try to get my money back, particularly as I think they might be closing at the end of the year. And the receptionist wasn't there on Wednesday when I went for my appointment so my best bet is to go after work. I really want to go home and not deal with it though, so we'll see. I can always sort it out next week if I don't do it today. I just really want to go home and sleep. Mom and Dad are away this weekend though so I am really worried that I am going to SH. We'll see if I can get through the weekend.

Probably
If I had kept at it, I probably would have been killed by it -therapist induced apoplexy.
I am sure that is a thing.

I went into Sephora today for some eyebrow stuff.

I purchased some after asking for help with a recommendation, but that pretty much sums up how I feel about that place.

Sephora can be kinda scary. I tend to avoid everyone asking if they can help (at any store!), though once I let them do a foundation match on me. But ended up returning it because it was too heavy. I typically just buy online from them (as I now know the foundation and some other stuff I like). Hope the eyebrow stuff works for you!

I believe Sephora is one of Info’s favorite stores.

You may or may not consider that a recommendation.

Do you know where she buys her clothes?

I was also in Express and H&M returning clothes I purchased online. (I wasn't drinking at the time, but I wish I could use that as an excuse. I made some poor decisions.) Some of the clothes in the store were even more...interesting.

Thanks! I couldn't find someone to help me at first. And then when I did, she was rude and then handed me off to someone else.
But the 2nd person was nice and had significantly better makeup. I kinda feel like in a place like that, you should perhaps look like you know what you are doing.

Ha! I could do bad online shopping there as well, but will restrain myself.

Hey, they even sell makeup!

Hi couch. I'm tired and mentally drained. Moved into my new office for my new role today. Moving office is as bad as moving house, ugh. Where am I supposed to put all the stuff? Anyone need a pen?

Here's a couch virtual hug for anyone who wants one. I'll smile and nod to the non-hugging folks. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Moving is a giant pain no matter what

Goodnight couch folks. Sweet dreams

I should be working on my week 1 paper for my class, but I'm working on the assignment for week 5. I'm all over the place right now, and I can't seem to stay focused on just one thing. I want to stay ahead, but just trying to do the easier assignments first. Out of 8 weeks, we have 6 assignments. One larger 1,500-2,000 group proposal, one 750 word essay this week, and the rest are smaller reflections. I'm not nervous about the class after looking through everything, but I am nervous that I'm going to be able to get through it without ending up in the hospital again with everything else going on.

Edited to add that I completed assignments for week 4 & 5 already. Still have week 1, 3, 6, & 7 to do. Plus the discussions for weeks 2-8.

The weather is atrocious here. I have to work today, but I have to get to work first. Looking forward to coming home and curling up. A lot of things in my life feel abrasive at the moment.

Jersey 4 · Nov 02, 2019 at 05:44 AM

I’m up way too early for a Saturday morning. I slept really hard from like 10:30 pm till like 2 or 3 AM then I was awake. Just consumed my first cup of coffee. Not sure what’s on the agenda today. H turns 50 on Tuesday but since we will both be at work we are doing something this weekend..just don't know what yet.

Assuming you're in the UK as it's a tad on the windy and wet side here currently.

@Lonelyinmyheart - Yep. Calmed down a bit now, but still a bit windy.
