Couch 195: The Galaxy couch

LostOnTheTrail · Apr 30, 2019 at 06:02 AM

There are two places I could send the pitch I have written. One is more exacting, and therefore draining, than the other.

I would like to write for the exacting one again, but I am not sure I am in the right headspace to do so at the moment.

I feel like the current theme for the exacting journal would be an equally good fit, given that I wrote the pitch for the previous theme and did not send it.

Coming up on the toughest month of the year for me, besides december. Probably not the smartest time to have taken time off therapy, oh well.

I am stressed to the max and already dreading a few days this month but I'll just try to numb it all and stay busy. At least I'm dog sitting until Monday still. Might have a small game night next weekend too.

He is feeling is feeling much better this morning. He stopped vomiting at about 2am this morning. He is acting his normal self drinking and wanting to eat, but we are resting his stomach until he follows up with the vet this afternoon. I do get to see t today as long as he doesn’t cancel again.

I woke up today feeling very nervous with a feeling of dread. Even though I’m getting some interest from families there is a big part of me that is very worried I won’t find a job by the time mine is over the end of June. I really do not have a a ton of time. It’s not that long of a time frame when job hunting.

So glad he's doing better! Hopefully you'll be able to see T today and talk things through. (Hm, interesting that both your dog and T had stomach issues.)

WFS, how is your cat?

Quote:

My fat cat is not fat any more, so we took him to the vet. The vet ran blood tests, which came back fine, and saw a healed broken tooth that he said was likely the cause of the weight loss because it was probably painful to eat. He's lost even more weight since, by quite a bit, so he went back today for more blood tests and an x-ray, and the vet said he thinks he sees something in his stomach. He wants to do an ultrasound tomorrow to find out what it is, but says probably stomach cancer.

My poor squishy purring plushy cat.

Senior cat was quite squishy and plushy and purring. New cat is none of those. All business.

Sitting in the waiting room at t’s office...

Oh goodness... I missed the closing of the last couch and the first three pages of this one. SLACKER! Just sent an email to T that I instantly regretted. He will appreciate it... maybe even a twinge of pride in me for saying it even if it was in email... I have senders regret... and must wait until Monday for any kind of reply because before I realized I was going to get all mushy and vulnerable I put not urgent in the subject line.... sigh.
On the subject of cats... must go steam the cat... she is battling a URI and is all stuffed up... the vet suggested putting her in the bathroom with a hot shower running to loosen things up... she seems to like the spa treatment and the extra yummies she gets in case she has the urge for a snack while she can breathe....

I just made this with g/f self rising flour(read the comments and took some of the suggestions) and it is delicious. Seriously very good.
I changed up the fruit to add in some dried cranberries, dried cherries and dried blueberries along with the currents. I used black tea for the liquid and I added an egg.

The first time I contacted my therapist I didn't hear back for about a week. He'd been on vacation. You're not impatient, but there could be reasons she hasn't responded yet.

BCM - I would try calling the office.

The boys and their dad are taking him to the vet in a couple hours. He was actually eating last night and very purr-y, but he looks really stiff when he moves around. The boys were giving him lots of attention and pets just in case, which he adored.

Thanks for checking in! I'll update the couch when we find out what's going on with him.

Thanks for the new couch BCM! Kit chooses a comfy cushion and pillow and sits here relaxing!

SlumberKitty · Apr 30, 2019 at 11:16 AM

Hi Couchies, I went for a walk this windy morning. Then negated that action by having McDonald's for breakfast. Oh well. I haven't had McDonald's for breakfast in ages. At least I went for a walk this morning, yesterday it was too windy and I didn't go. I'm wearing my favorite sweater today, because it's soft and comfy. I wanted to wear it because it was a good deterrent to SH. Plus today is supposed to be the last cold day and then back to some warmer weather. I don't mind the cold but I mind the wind. I see T on Monday. I'm really hoping for a good session. HUGS Kit

I contacted a Spiritual Director before Easter though her email and still no reply. Hmmm.
