Couch 212: The French Vanilla couch

Has anybody seen Knives Out? I saw a preview last night and thought it looked pretty good.

I saw it. I thought it was really good. The only annoying thing (to me) is the accent that Daniel Craig adopts. Otherwise two thumbs up! I actually bought it when it came out. BTW, Daniel Craig is still fine to look at! He's my celeb crush!

I'll help with set design!

I woke up today with a slight fever of 100 and a tickle in my throat. Been coughing a little, but not much if I just lie still here in bed like I have been. Fever has increased, but only a little to 100.4.

Trying not to worry. I'm young. I do have asthma, though. The last two coughs I had were kind of hard on me due to that. My dogs were supposed to go to the vet tomorrow because they have rashes, but I'm going to have to cancel. I don't want to make anybody sick.

Hope you feel better soon @susannahsays

I thought chunky boi was your private special name for me. Guess i thought wrong.

I thought I had a large herd of elephants running up and down my hall. Turned out to be a small herd of cats. Sometimes they just have to get their wiggles out, I guess.

Hugs for everyone who wants one. Stay healthy!

Sounds like my two cats and one dog. I call it the zoomies!!!! Especially Amelia. My Dad has nicknamed her white lightning because she dashes across the room and down the hallway like a flash and the dog goes after her almost as fast but she doesn't catch her! Thanks for sharing your cat story, @StressedMess!! HUGS Kit

My coworker brought me Starbucks today and my other coworker didn't yell at me when I thought she would. Not a bad workday!

Also hope you feel better soon, Susannah!

I just got back from seeing L. I'm super sad. I wish I could stay with her forever. It was extremely comforting holding hands with her. I didn't want to let go. I miss her so so much already. We're going to try video sessions on Friday. If it doesn't work out, she said we could do video first to see each other, and then phone to have our actual session (since we already have experience with phone calls). This is so so hard for me!

so T called me this morning leaving me a passive aggressive message saying she is canceling he sessions for tomorrow as to avoid causing persons (me) any stress and to prevent any anxiety to a person (me) i feel sad because now i am just not going back. she was so bent of having a good healthy ending and then this because i think she is angry at me because i gave it to her straight the last session . i think i hurt her feelings and this is how she is responding . i have also discovered that she has not been lic sence oct of 2018 .so she has been seeing me for over 2 years under the impression that she was a licsw and this is not the case. in the end im just so sad this is how it is

Info fashion report, coronavirus edition: It didn't involve cleavage. The top was that peachy-pink color that I don't know the name for. Went surprisingly well with orange skin and hair.

Was the color salmon?

Oh granite - it seems like a lifetime since last week! Im glad you found her licensing information. But i bet the coronavirus has something to do with her FINALLY cancelling. Still, at least youre out. Mine wasnt a hollywood ending either. But who wants a Judy Garland ending?

Speaking of cruise ships, that picture of you curled up in the port hole could become quite the collectors item. "Back in the olden days..."

oh granite... i'm so sorry.

I just got notice that my college is completely closed now, all campuses because of a member of the college community (they didn't say student or staff) may have been in contact with someone who has been tested for the virus. Online classes are still ongoing but the campuses themselves are closed til the end of the month.

I'll say one thing. Working so much overtime has been good for keeping my mind off stuff. Today I rather excelled at being in robot mode and processed just under 90 messages.

No belly dancing tonight, but I still have to finish my homework that's due tomorrow night for my other class! Eep!

Hugs, Granite...

I'm really sorry, both T1 and T2 had terrible endings and it was hard, with distance I am glad to be free but at the time it sucked. I'm sorry you didn't get the end you deserved.

Regular T refuses to use zoom, so after tomorrow she and I will have an extended break. After having a video meeting with EMDR T I realised how much I liked it, felt much more connected than phone. So I'm not going to keep paying for phone calls only.

Woke up in tears with a nightmare about the virus.

During the day I am functioning well, maybe especially well, but the night terrors and frequent awakenings don’t lie—I’m stressed and scared.

My husband was laid off tonight. He's worked for a major five-star hotel for 33 years. They actually emailed him the news instead of talking to him face-to-face. We saw it coming. The hotel occupancy rate was below 10% due to the virus -- hospitality industry is being killed -- but it doesn't make the blow any easier.

I’m so sorry, Artley.
