Couch 209: The Kummer Couch

That actually reminded me of the last most direct interaction I had with her: it was her birthday, sometime in college, and she sent out invites saying she’d know we didn’t like her if we didn’t come. It was during the school year so I couldn’t go anyway (not in town) but that line really put me off.

We did dm briefly about four years ago when she announced she was getting divorced (abusive husband) and I sent her best wishes.

Back to work tomorrow. I can’t really complain since I have not been there since Monday. I watched my niece all day today so my sister could pack. Of course the prick is getting a few more jabs in for good measure before she moves Saturday.

Now the thing about the birthday is definitely manipulation. Pay her no mind.

Have any of you heard of Blythe dolls? My dad bought me one for Christmas. The one he got me is kind of creepy. I guess it's the big eyes?

Funny how the other stories kinda back up the original one. She is quick to feel rejection, probably where there isnt any - yet - thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Or as SD would say im saying its her own fault, but i wouldnt say that!

But she definitely isnt busy enough if she expects people to answer her back right away. Sometimes i dont see stuff on facebook for like 3 years. And i think thats fine.

I probably wouldn't get all that worked up - she sounds insecure and doesn't want to be rejected. If you like her - then I would respond. If you just don't like her then I would ignore it.
Frankly it sounds like a lot of the messages people post that they send their therapist. I wouldn't read it as intentional drama - just poor ability to understand how to interact.

I haven’t heard of them but I just did an image search of them. No. Just no. Very creepy. I would burn it.

Yeah—what’s with the eyes? They almost look like manga characters.

Oh boy.

I’m going to bed. Have to be in at 7:30 tomorrow which means up by 6 the latest.

At least the kids have a million new things to play with and keep them busy.

Agree on this.

Crotchety cat came in while the kittens were playing in the living room. He sniffed at them then went to sit by the fire. The kittens are asleep on the couch now and he is pretending they don't exist.

It is how I dealt with the sibling they brought in on me.

So THATS the precedence for taking your juice box to the chair in the library.

First - it was port not juice and second - no, it was to escape hugs and raucous shenanigans. Someone had to stand by the phone ready to call 911 when one of you put your eye out playing lawn darts covered in cool whip.

Darn and here i thought i had uncovered the long buried freudian secret of the escape to the library. Your rosebud being the sibling rivalry, so to speak.

I've been feeling extremely overwhelmed today, mostly with the clutter of new toys and clothes for the kids but no where to put it. My house is a disaster. I've been trying to organize and go through things but it feels like a lost cause. I have an appointment tomorrow for a follow up with the urologist from my hospitalization.

Well, if you do decide to message her back @@, just have a look at her page first and make sure she hasn't been making a bunch of posts trying to sell any MLM products. That could be why she's reaching out.

I remembered you talking about sous viding something ages ago and thinking my dad would like that. So, that's what he got for Christmas this year. It seemed to be well received.

I've drafted an email, but I feel like it's too long.

Getting discharged today. I’m scared.

I sent the long email.

I'm so stressed out from my sister and BIL and children here. The children are really ill behaved. Cursing, hitting, kicking, talking bad to each other and their parents, screaming, and I dont just mean the 2 year old. I dont have children so I try not to judge but it was embarrassing being in the store with them. They were even worse in the car. Beating on each other, hitting each other, swearing. Dad and I are taking the 4 oldest to the movies this afternoon. I really just want to stay home and SH but I wouldn't be home alone so I can't. I'm so stressed. I feel it in my stomach. It's in knots. Luckily they go home tomorrow. I just want to cry. Hugs Kit

We have a thunderstorm coming and my big black fluffbutt cat wont come inside he is not under the house or behind the shed i am stressing a bit because on Christmas eve last year my tabby boy disappeared in a thunderstorm.

Hugs to everyone struggling.
