Couch 207: The spiced gingerbread couch

Other than looking after little ones what else do you love?

Again with our imprecise language. I read that as a coat made out of cats. But then I realized amazon probably wouldn't sell such a thing.

I hope you had a good visit with your mom, ATAT.

"It puts the catnip in the basket"!

Jeff Bezos COULD use a cat hat first!

But i LOOOOOOVE the amazon picture of the cat in the pink hoodie!!! Stopdog, PLEEEEEEZ make that your avatar, PUHLEEEEEZ???!!!

$hit, I am going to be hungover at work tomorrow. Work really gets in the way of my wine consumption. In fact, work gets in the way of a lot of things. Writing, drinking, fagging about, being alone, reading, walking, re-watching Happy Valley, visiting my darling best friend, cooking, baking, political activism, pottery, the list is endless. Oh, but wait! There are times when I haven't worked and I still haven't done any of those things except drink and be alone. And so we begin again ... Work really gets in the way of my wine consumption ...

About to have coffee with someone who used to be super into me (I was not especially into them). I’m a little worried we’ll have to drag up all the old crap. I didn’t even want to have coffee with them but we ran into each other at the hospital and I didn’t feel like I could say no.

Ask a friend to call you 30 mins in.pretend it's an emergency? or do they only do that in the movies?

Stopdog’s refusal to use an avatar is one of the few things preventing the total collapse of civilization, you know.


There’s an app for that.

I love when that happens in (the show). Charlotte had set that up with Carrie for a date. Her phone rang, and she was like, "I'd better answer it. Something really bad might have happened." Then when she answered, she was like, "What? Something really bad happened?"

I'm sorry your struggling with the drinking.

Thanks, I'd have to call my T and I really dont want to bother him. I'm sure we'll talk about it this evening at session.

And CPS is coming around since they opened up a case and found my husband "guilty" (not the right word since it's not criminal) of child neglect. So today we're meeting with the case worker who will be working with us for at least the next 6 months.

Thank you. The saddest thing is that I like it, despite everything.

Escaped unscathed!

No.
Good lord.

But with that avatar, she would surely launch the revolution!

Bleh, my brain is mush. I can't seem to think/write about this paper I'm working on.

And Starbucks has officially gone Christmas already.

Bah, humbug.

'Gone Christmas...'

I know where you're coming from @chihirochild. I'm not a fan of all the performative festivities, and dislike the music.

Or perhaps it's the forced jollity I dislike.

Its gonna be all the people spelling it "PREformative" thats gonna kill me!

I know - they have messed up my siriusxm radio channels with holiday channels that started on Nov 1 - madness I say.

*must not hug stopdog*

I would be the worst revolutionary ever. Seriously, I would lose interest about 2 minutes after it started and just wander off. Too much unnecessary hoopla and all those futile symbolic acts. And not not nearly enough interesting bits to hold my attention.

Indeed. Such is forbidden.
It is written.

It is the insipid jollity facade I cannot bear.

That was a super fast introduction meeting. Said hi, gave me his business card, told me a little about the program and that's it.

I guess in the next few weeks well be doing a team meeting that they invite all of our therapists to join. I dont know if my therapist would attend or if hell just do a phone call afterwards

Well, crap. I'm mid-rupture with my therapist and I don't know if I can go back to see him right now. He's made up his mind how I think/feel about something regarding our relationship and he's not listening when I tell him he's got it wrong. I really need him to listen to what I'm saying and not rely on his preconceived notion of me. I'm beginning to think allowing myself to form an attachment to him was an ill-conceived idea. I hate myself right now.
