Couch 215: The Overcoming Couch

I've never heard of it but I'll look it up.

Anyone else see America's Funniest Home Video's on Sunday night? It was a quarantine edition. It was pretty funny.

I got a nice complement from the CFO in my company. She said I really am a fighter and a survivor. That's cool. Makes me feel good.

Argh. An hour and fifteen minutes left of work...bleh.

This reminds me of the parenting test i witnessed in my mothers house wow probably 30 years ago. Grandparenting test maybe but whats the diff. Sibling grandcousins were fighting over who gets to sit in the wonderful kitchen stepstool.

My mother comes up, tells the younger kid to shut up. More crying, even the older kid is embarrassed.

Granny2 comes up, says okay, nobodys sitting on it. Now both kids are screaming.

Granny 3 comes up, reasons with older sib to let younger have a turn. Winner!

So obviously, im the most neurotic in our smoke alarm scenario. "Forgot" to mention that it had given a warning beep the week before that i totally ignored.

Eta - re being "cured" - eh, its relative!

I'm glad that your co-worker recognised your successes Kit. (I don't know what a CFO is?)

I've just signed up for another round of the 30-day online grief writing course I take from time to time.

I feel like I need a tune up.

Hi Lost, CFO = Chief Financial Officer, like a CEO = Chief Executive Officer but one who deals with Finance. Maybe you have different acronyms in England?

I work in the arts sector, so I'm not really exposed to the acronyms much, and we're a small organisation.
Thanks for explaining. I miss my workplace so much...is that weird? We've moved online, but it's Not The Same.

Usually i do but i watched a pbs maigret rerun instead. Darn!

Is it Writing Your Grief or another one? I paid for the WYG one after my father died, but the prompts weren't speaking to me at the time.

Oh, yeah, I work in the manufacturing sector though I personally do accounting, finance, and HR and office management. Kind of a little of everything. My degree is a Masters of Business Administration so I am used to acronyms! I don't think it is weird that you miss your workplace. I think that is totally normal. Just like my sister's kids miss going to school, I think adults can miss going to work. There's a routine in it, and usually coworkers are likable or at least tolerable. HUGS Kit

Darn! I thought I could count on you unaluna! But I like maigret too! I would have been torn between the two also. kit

I'm trying to overcome smoking and overeating. Please pray for me 🙏 my name is Trish or Patricia. I haven't smoked since April 31,2020...but I have been eating like a glutton and it's not because I quit smoking I was overeating like this before when I was smoking. I know that the Lord helps those who help themselves so I will talk to my psychiatrist about the overeating at my next appointment so I can develop an action plan. Thank you for listening and I appreciate your prayers 😊.

That's the one, NP. I have done it several times. I think you get an email at the end of the run with all of the prompts in one document to refer back to.

Hi Trish/Patricia welcome to the couch. Great job on not smoking since April 31st. That's a great accomplishment! Good job! HUGS if wanted kit

The grey cat did not appreciate being taken along for a walk with my dog.

Payroll ladies be like...

I miss running payroll. One time i went to leave after it was done, it was around midnight, and there was a skunk by the door. I was like oh carp now what do i do?!

I had a harness on Amelia when she was a kitten just because she was so wiggly I could never get a handle on her if I needed to take her to the vet. I tried putting a leash on her a few times but that went no where! Kudos to those people who can leash train a cat because I've never been able to!

Whatcha do is take a video and send it in to AFV! lol! kit

Yeah, I saved all the prompts as well. They required a bit more insight into myself than I felt capable of and still don't feel capable of. I'm glad you find it helpful. I wonder if my cousins who just lost their college-aged son would appreciate a link to the site or if that would be overstepping.

Mandarin to Aramaic. I have no idea what you are talking about. But I do give you kudos for ignoring the alarm for that long. The beeping makes me crazy because it seems random to my ears.

Why do you always get to be the most neurotic?

Mine gave a couple beeps last week, which I ignored on the way out the door to clean out my office. It wasn’t beeping when I got home that day, so I forgot about it.

Thanks SD but i dont deserve kudos. I need for Cher to slap me and tell me to snap out of it!

Sorry @@ - just lucky, i guess!

In exhankster's world - you could take turns being the most neurotic. I think that was the moral of the story -but I am not certain.

I didn’t even understand the context for the story. I just seized on the one line that made sense.
