Couch 217: The Order of the Phoenix couch

I hope it is not serious.

oh my how beautiful!!!! (As Artie saves pic as her desktop background)

Vet spotted a third spot but thinks they are all freckles on her iris and nothing to worry about. They dyed her cornea and nothing there either.

Cost: one junior cat less a few bucks.

When we got home new cat hid under the sofa. Lone dog doesn’t fit under the sofa, but stuck his head under to keep her company, I guess.

Now she is out and glaring at me from across the room.

You can get a cat for free, ya know.

Great book. Less sure about the movie. Wasn't aware there was a book by his sister--will need to check that out. And I still need to read Into Thin Air at some point.

Hugs, Summer. I hope your T can fit you in.

Oh boy—you just joined me on new cat’s **** list.

Penelope just hopped up on my desk and walked up to me and stuck her face right in my face and meowed really loudly haha! she must really want dinner! She rarely gets that close to anybody.

I do like Krakauer's writing. Apparently brother and sister were both abused as children. I didnt see the movie. I did read they actually recently moved the bus off the site, cuz too many people were making pilgrimages and needed rescuing.

I’ve done this before too, if it makes you feel any better I hope he’s able to give your sessions back to you!

Glad your cat is okay @@.

Did you buy the bed desk you were talking about ages out- how did it work out?

Well done for following your plan.

Did he get back to you with a time?

Saw R today. It didn't help. I was angry at him and I told him it was our last session as I was also leaving for Antigua tomorrow which isn't true.

I don't want to count down the days till he leaves on the 3rd of august for almost a month till the 25th. He said he'd try to come up with a plan and maybe do a condensed week the three days he'd be back. Then he's also most likely away for another week for the first week of september because of the extinction rebellion protests.

I'm sorry, Cake. That sounds awful.

I'm aware that I'm acting out but I don't really care.

I will save £280 if I stop going until he leaves.

I admire women who clearly try to coordinate their mask with their outfit.

I wonder if Info has one in gold lame?

Yes, it worked well. Now that I feel like spending less time in bed it’s become a stand up desk.

I feel like crap. It doesn't help I took two Xanax so now I feel totally out of it. Upper Management decided at work that we will be back to having to furlough two days a week. Sigh. I don't know if I should look for a second job or what. I did apply for a different job though I feel my prospects of getting it are slim because my work history doesn't really match. But my education far exceeds what they are looking for, so that may or may not be a plus. I feel self destructive though. I'm trying to shake loose these feelings but it isn't happening. At least I'm not panicking like I was yesterday but that is thanks for the Xanax. But the Xanax made me feel tired and zombie-ish and not caring about anything. Ugh. I probably should have only taken one. HUGS Kit

Just had a session where T was really wanting me to tell him exactly how far I went with this guy J. I just don't want to tell him. T wants me to think about "letting him in" to the relationship with J a bit more but I don't want to, like, analyze the relationship and find all the weak points, I just want to bask in this new-relationship-glow. I also feel like maybe a romantic relationship deserves some privacy?

Even talking with T about this really brought me down--I'd been feeling so happy and hopeful, now I am reminded of how bad things get when they are bad.

Does he want a three-way or something? Jeez.

I don't think you need to tell your T anything you don't want to. Kit

I actually LOL'd at that; thanks @@

ETA: He has a disturbing lack of respect for your autonomy.

At this point, I think I'd just ask him if there's some therapeutic rationale for needing to know or if this is just him trying to satisfy his prurient curiosity.

What do you guys do with a tough decision? Pros and cons listing has been tried and balance out. Both head and gut/heart are evenly split too.

It’s so tough I actually made a tele-appointment with Info tomorrow to discuss it, on the .005% chance that it’ll be a day when she’s helpful.

I would go for my heart+ what feels right.

I hope your session goes well.
