Hi all couchies. It's donut day at work today. I don't have much work to do today. I helped out my supervisor this morning with some of her work-load and now I'm surfing PC and seeing what's up. What's everyone up to today? Tomorrow I travel to my sister's with my parents. Yeah (sarcasm). 6 hours in an RV. Yeah (sarcasm). Not looking forward to it that much. But hopefully once I get there I will be more in the spirit of things. Kit.

I have a tooth that’s been causing me a bit of trouble but this week the dentist said it looked okay for now, but I’m anxious about it especially since the dentist will be closed until the middle of next week. It’s the same feeling I have when I get on a plane and they shut the doors and you know you can’t get off anymore.

It’s probably mostly me channeling all my Christmas anxiety into something physical. I get to see T today so I am hoping we can defuse it a little bit.

I don't need anything else for Christmas.

Nice! Would your sister like to visit my house perhaps?

My son stopped by to pick up his mail and visit a little. I miss my boy! It was good to see him.

Last day of school today before D is off for 11 days straight, and H is either off or working from home either day. Plus family holiday stuff. In other words, fun times ahead for this introvert who needs lots of alone time...

Wish me peace...my middle son is heading to the DMV to take his test for his learner's permit.



I can't decide which freaks me out more: the idea of having two teen drivers in the house, or the idea of paying car insurance for two teen drivers.

I'm on live chat right now working and it's slow so I just got in a half mile of marching around my office while watching my screen. Working at home is awesome.

Perfect! Perhaps he can just deduct the $3.99 from my bill (so that there aren't ethical gift concerns, that is). Hi Dr. T, today I will be paying you in socks, hope that's OK!

These are adorable. I'm actually wearing red penguin socks today. It goes with my Christmas Mickey/Disneyland long sleeve tee shirt. My office is very casual. Beyond casual. I am however, wearing loafers.

I tried dog diapers and human diapers and neither one holds up to her bladder even when she does not have an infection. She drinks her weight in water every day but it’s not an option to limit her water because of her other health issues, the vet said she must have access to her water at all times. I’m fighting an uphill battle with her. My boss just gave me a nice big Christmas bonus-that should cover most of her vet visit on Saturday.
She is really lucky she spent a long cared for life on your watch. I had to let go my true love heart dog last year, and there was a lot of relief mixed into the heartbreak ( he had hemangiosarcoma of the spleen) bc it was then or after a total crisis. He went so peacefully and in no pain; my vet and I were both in tears, but not the bad kind of tears. It seems like, from your description, her system is shutting down, and you are doing the right, humane thing.

Things are not going well in this house.

It turns out that the kids' dad remembers the conversation we had in September about remodeling the office into a separate apartment for him, which I described on the Couch as wrestling as octopus Hydra, is this: I asked him to get an estimate, and he said he would.

I told him I was confused, that I thought we'd dropped the topic since his reaction was so extreme. When I reminded him that I'd locked my door that night, he responded that was old news and he remembers me telling him but he "thought we'd moved past that."

And he was so disappointed that he'd worked so hard to get the estimate and this is the reaction, it's disappointing.

I just...The dissonance is deafening, both the outer dissonance of competing perceptions, and in the inner dissonance of trying to continue to be calm, measured, careful, respectful, compassionate, balanced in the face of shifting ground when I feel drained of compassion and tired of constant watchfulness.
