The most common comment in my breed's dog training class was "they aren't golden retrievers"
I kept a friend's golden for a couple of weeks. OMG that dog was the clingiest thing - he knew me and had been at the house before -but I couldn't move without falling over him or he was in my lap worse than my cat whenever I sat down. I used to leave the house and drive around just to get away from him for an hour or two. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

I would never dream of snuggling with Stopdog up until now i had never even thought about it.
My couch is exactly 5 steps from my nearest bookcase but today i decided i wanted smaller couch like a1.5 seater to put next to the bookcases so i only have to stand up to get a book. Is this excessive? |

Thanks! I'm going to, but I haven't made them up yet. The facebook group has files with tags and stuff you can print and use which I did for the first batch (the butterflies) but with the hearts I'm going to make up my own. Haven't finished them yet. |

Morning couch.
While H was out on a long-distance job last night I got hit by a big wave of feelings about leaving therapy and ended up putting down the yarn and hook, and eating a big ol' bowl of said feelings. Have I learned nothing?! Ugh. I still feel sick to my stomach from it this morning so have decided I am fasting today. I did a little too much thinking yesterday, I suppose my feelings said HEY! We want a turn! And they were too big, and I couldn't let myself feel them. Dang it all. I'm off tomorrow so I can spend some time this evening letting myself feel sitting at my keyboard so I can write it out as it comes as that's the best way for me to do it. Counting today, 4 more 10 hour days and hopefully on Tuesday 2/1 we go back to 5 8-hr day weeks. I'm SO over this month. |

Artie, when I overeat on sugar, the best thing I find is not fasting but rather eating some protein. It puts my system right, somehow, and stops my stomach hurting.
Plus, I think you'd be fasting to punish yourself, at least in part, and I don't believe in that sort of thing. You over-indulged. Acknowledge it, understand how and why it happened, plan a better coping skill to use next time, forgive yourself, and move on. Life is too short for hair shirts! Just my $.02, which isn't worth what it used to be. Pennies cost more to produce than they are worth.

I agree with this, art—if I do or fail to do something like overeating or exercise or anything really, punishing myself won’t help. Rather I just wipe the slate clean mentally and try again. You have to let yourself make mistakes. Just learn for the next time. I think you yourself posted you took that same approach recently. You heard L’s voice in your head telling you something like “so you screwed up. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get back in the saddle.” __________________ The secret to eternal youth is arrested development.—Alice Roosevelt Longworth |

There's a reason somebody coined the term 'comfort eating'.
I'm dealing with this morning's minor disappointment similarly, if it makes you feel any better, Artie. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Thanks Mobius, @@. You're both right. I will try the protein idea. And stop feeling sorry for myself. And thanks Lost, sorry you're in the same boat.
Feelings are stupid. |

Yep I did. I think because this latest bout of feeeeeeelings is pretty much about her, the whole her-voice-in-my-head thing isn't working right. |

Lunch time. Yay! I got pulled in to help with live chat a couple hours ago because it was so busy. It takes a lot of talent to be me, you guys, what I did.... after I got done with my first chat I accidentally went into Ready-phones instead of Ready-chat and got a call immediately. And here's where it really takes talent to be me - when the call came in, I heard the beep (I wear my headset in chat so I can hear the little computer alert for a chat if I'm not staring at my screen watching for it) and even thought I HEARD a call come in, I still tried to answer it as if it were a chat by typing even though there was no chat window to type in. The caller starts going "hello? hello?" and I realized what I had done. I made up some excuse or other about my headset haha
I don't know about me sometimes..... |

Feeling decently productive today too. Started laundry (only have 3 weeks worth...). Made an appointment for the orthopedic (my joint pain has been horrible lately and the pain meds aren't helping). Least I've done something today!

I have the teeniest, tiniest sore throat and I am jumping to conclusions that it is Covid (I think because I know so many people who is getting it right now). Seriously, if Covid didn't exist, I wouldn't even be blinking at this sore throat. But I made myself an appointment for later today at a State Run site to see if it is Covid. I hope not. I don't want to miss that much work! I find the state run sites are significantly less busy than the county or city sites. I made an appointment at 2 for 330 same day. I can't even get an appointment at a pharmacy.

I hope it's not Covid, Kit. It's good you were able to get a testing appointment today. Do you know how long it will take to get results?
