i’m happy you will be able to get some support. i hope this doesn’t push Dr. T to make a decision you won’t like regarding your therapy with him.

Thanks, Darkest. I don't see him terminating me over this, and he said in the call that he's completely fine with my seeing R tomorrow. I just worry that he'll limit my ability to see her in the future. Hoping, if nothing else, she's still an option while he's away, which he will be in late August/early September (i already asked her about that).

I wonder if I can ask that we put off the conversation about that until next week, or until I've become more adapted to the move. Well, I know I can ask--more whether he'd be OK with that. Like I'd agree to not see her anymore between now and having that conversation. i just don't feel in the spot mentally/emotionally to have it right now.

Ex Hankster is going to turn us all into fitness freaks. Her arm is long.

When will she become a Peloton coach? Can’t leave talent like hers on the shelf.

I have a peloton that inculdes arms, let's go!!!

Also, Atat, I know you might like languages. If you wanna talk German, hit me up! That quote is kind of clumsily translated, though correct!

unaluna · Jul 30, 2024 at 02:55 PM

I would just do peloton to snoop out all your home addresses on mail you have strewn (note deft avoidance of lie/lay) about the house.

You may have avoided lie/lay, but you’ve opened a whole can of worms about whether strew can be active or only passive.

CNS—I only know enough German to read scholarly articles in my field, alas.

ChickenNoodleSoup · Jul 30, 2024 at 03:04 PM

That is a lot to be honest, scholarly articles are rather difficult to read, let alone in German. Keep rocking!

ChickenNoodleSoup · Jul 30, 2024 at 03:07 PM

Wait US people have issues with lie and lay?? I thought that was a foreigner issue.

I have issues with them, and I'm a professional copy editor! I tend to try to reword the sentence. Thankfully, it doesn't come up much in the science and business editing I do. If I edited fiction, I'd be in trouble.

...that are scooted about the house.

A most excellent word!

I read that as "Peloton couch," so OK, developers, get on that!

Sounds like he's going to do that soon anyway, as he's concerned about the relationship and blurred boundaries.

LT-I saw your post that he called after I posted it. Seems like our post came through at the same time.

Oh, I just figured that, all good! Posts passing in the night.

Still feeling conflicted and upset about it all.

LostOnTheTrail · Jul 30, 2024 at 05:31 PM

I'm sorry, LT.

When I have had a day like the one you are going through, I have to sleep it off.

More hugs, if wanted.

Lost

Is part of the stress because you dont know if he is bringing fish into the new space or not?

He does not seem to be handling that conflict very well. I dont think he knows my axiom about what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Or Pintos. Or Gremlins. Suspended disbelief like in theatre.

stopdog · Jul 30, 2024 at 05:45 PM

My poor dog is so doped up that he can't settle down. They had to extract a tooth and so had to have him completely out - he is so dopey he isn't even upset with me - I am not sure he recognizes me yet

For those struggling with that second paragraph, Gremlins are cars, as are Vegas and Pintos.

Ex hankster is indulging in eight dimensional wordplay.
