Couch 246: Choose Change

You might like nests building and bird egg hatching videos too.

You can't just throw this out there and not provide a link.

Thank you for posting what I was thinking, NP!

Hey NP,

How are you doing? Haven’t seen you in a few days.

I really should. Then maybe I could "walk" him to the mailbox with me.

I'm still feeling stupid happy today, and have decided to stop wondering why and just enjoy the hell out of it while it's here. Woo hoo!

Just for ex-hankster:


and sloth afficianados:
live cam or highlights:

Okay, so there IS a worse job than being a computer programmer!

They should just bring in some guinea pigs to demonstrate for the sloth. They poop constantly, it seems (also eat constantly--they can actually die if they go 24 hours without eating due to gut stasis).

ETA: Thanks for sharing the links. The second one currently looks to be a breathing wig.

I stand corrected - the guinea pig is my spirit animal. i'm not happy about this!

Baby sloth handling is a job I would love. Computer programming would not be.

Life isn't done beating me up! Now an upstairs neighbor got flooded, and came into our apartment. It's in my dad's bedroom, so they gave us 24 hours to clean up his room before they have to take the wall down. His room is horrible. Like they really should call the health inspector on him. So guess who's been cleaning it up all day? Me! And I'm still sick from before Christmas.

Either way, you’re cute and furry!

Did you just describe exhankster as a hobbit?

That hobbit movie director really is a hobbit. I however am indistinguishable from the likes of Bette Davis.

The deciding factor is if you like second breakfasts.

I prefer 2nd dinners!

I did some searching - I did not find even one reference to BD being furry.

Cousin It, on the other hand, quite furry

Hugs, Scarlet, I'm sorry. Couldn't your father and H help? I know your H is disabled in some ways and your father is older, but still. You shouldn't have to do all of it.

Do they have to take a wall down in your apartment? That sounds really disruptive.

And I hope you feel better soon.

You'd think I'd have learned my lesson not to bring up certain things at the end of a session, particularly on a Friday. But apparently not...

I really don't see how it's so weird that I wish Dr. T would be open to my sending a brief email letting him know how H's surgery goes Tuesday. I mean, he clarified that he's open in the sense that I'm allowed to email and haven't emailed him much at all lately (it's been weeks, probably months, not counting a scheduling thing, which he doesn't count either). But he implied that it was inappropriate that I wanted that from a therapist (without using that word). Even though he acknowledged we've been talking about it for weeks and he knows I'm stressed about it (it's a hernia surgery, so not like open heart surgery or something).

But I guess that's too friend-like. Even though he's been sharing personal stuff/disclosing all over the place lately and has seemed more relaxed about stuff in general. Sigh.

Oh wait. I misspoke. Indistinguishable from Granmamá

OK, that's weird because Dr. T referenced the Addams family in session today (not in relation to my earlier post). Mentioning the comic it was based on and a specific one about digging a grave in the backyard.

Love of food, warmth, and hoarding. What could be more fitting?

You mean in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

Okay now thats just eerie! That is SO ME!!!
