Couch 251: The Matrix Recovered

WFS…I’m glad you are taking care of you and making time for things most important to you and being productive.

Man, i have just been sleeping! Late this morning, and a lot this afternoon. Oh i just remembered i didnt have coffee this morning, just soup. Well that will do it. Although i was having this feeling today that my body was finally returning from vaccination reaction land and coming back to my control.

Young veal? Cougar much?

Hope, you’re feeling more balanced and rested now Una.

Just an idea, perhaps space out your vaccinations a little bit when you book them.

No, i will take the hit all at once. Its too much overhead, scheduling a ride to get there, waiting in line, etc etc etc. This is Michigan, where the manufacturing assembly line was invented! Plus having to take a shower! LOL plus i like feeling like a new version of myself. Like a snake shedding its skin. I had my coffee this morning, and now i dont feel a day over 65!

Wait til you see this ad. It is dégoûtant! Yuck! Only young ignorant boys would brag about ingesting colostrum!

Hi Couch,

I hope today is being kind to you.
I had a call with the helpline today, and didn't realise that I didn't hang up properly.

Hoping that I didn't tie the line up for a long time, but my contact hung up on her end...

I've heard of Detroit being the manufacturing hub. Didn't know it was in Michiagn.

Is the shower also yearly with the annual appointment?

It's time you got a private doctor/ nurse for the jabs.

I booked an impulsive flight back home to London after talking to someone who was telling me that he was leaving on Saturday. I decided to tag along with him. Now I'm having second thoughts and feeling anxious about leaving. I still haven't started the 6 month thing. Still waiting around for paperwork to come through first.

The flight was £45. After we reach the city I won't be staying with him and he will travel further along by himself. (No sharing hotel rooms or anything like that.)

That must have felt a bit unsettling, realizing you hadn’t hung up properly.

I’m sure the helpline staff have ways to manage situations like that, so try not to worry too much.

It’s good that your contact was able to end the call on her side.

How did you feel after speaking with her today?

Oooo Una you're so sophisticated. *swoons*

Your funny. Even my private dr sends me to the mass jab lab. I chose the pharmacy to do it because they were giving my brand on the day i was going to pick up my insulin anyway.

I live in a university town where there are a LOT of retired drs professors etc. I am pretty poor, so no i do not have a boutique dr as im sure many of them do. I have become like my dad, in that i avoid the dr as much as possible. Less chance for them to mess something up. My last mammogram made me bleed. Of course, if YOU were my dr, that would change!

Thanks! Im afraid americans are not educated enough to get it!

Tip - how to "source it" - stalk your local maternity ward.

An unusual indicator of struggle, perhaps...

I just wrote a haiku, then counted the syllables.

One too many.

I'm losing my touch.

Doing OK, thanks for asking! I think I've adapted to Dr. T's new location. It came up today, and he said, "You haven't talked about it much lately. How does it feel meeting here?" I said I guessed I'd come to accept it as his office, that I didn't really think about it much anymore--I'm used to it now. How I think I needed to feel he was still the same person in it and that it felt safe. (We did process some stuff with the move a couple months ago.)

In other news, H and I just started seeing a T (female and virtual) to help with parenting stuff regarding D. I'll call her K. The 90-minute intake session went pretty well (H afterward: "I like her, I think"). She has experience with autism. Hoping we can see her for a handful of sessions to get some ideas, then maybe just meet with her periodically for support as needed.

Because D often does not even want to speak to me or accept my presence (like going "No!" or "Why are you here?" if I'm in a common space in the house), K offered to see me for an individual session to discuss that. So I'm doing that (also virtually) Thursday. H is OK with it (and I said he could meet with her individually, too, if he wants). Then, H and I meet with her again in early December (next week is a big holiday week in the US--Thanksgiving--so she's off then).

So, we'll see how that all goes.

How are you doing, Comrade?

Hugs to you, Lost.

It must hurt when your daughter acts like that towards you, LT. I know I would struggle terribly with that. My heart goes out to you.

Thanks, NP--it is painful. I appreciate the support.

H is losing his job. If he doesn't agree to be a contractor, they're firing him on Friday...

Oh Scarlet,

I'm so sorry - that was the last thing you needed.

Hugs,

Lost
