Tuesday – 06-02-2018 – It's An Affair To Remember Month!

I can so relate to Saffy’s purrdicament- right! 😉
Poor kit neglected by callous FOOFANY! 😥

PG, WikiAnswer to the rescue for those of us with enquiring minds:

The term “shrink” to refer to psychologists supposedly was coined by author Thomas Pynchon in his book The Crying of Lot 49 published in 1966. Most likely it came from the term “headshrinker,” comparing the process of psychotherapy to primitive tribal practices of shrinking the heads of enemies. One of the symptoms of SEVERE depression is a sensation of pressure inside the skull- like your brain is swollen. After experiencing this once, patients are vigilant for early warning signs of depression and seek treatment before symptoms progress to severe. Psychiatrists were the original headshrinkers. Later shortened to shrinks.

I prefurr therapist. Speaking of which gym cohort is a psychologist who told us that some of her teen clients are actually checking their cell phones during session. She calls them on it but if they refuse to turn it off, it’s their parents who are paying. I find it rude to the extreme. 🙄

I’m off to dentist for 6 mos cleaning. I like him a lot and better yet his receptionist/assistant is not only a knitter but is owned by a Tonkinese kit (Mr. Hubert) and a Cornish Rex kit (Miss Cara) so we have what to chat about before I get in the chair.

“Chicks” heh-heh-heh! Don’t overtax yourself JK!

Considering some of the so-called “catches” that have been “kindly” suggested for me, I’d for sure opt for the Noir. 🙄

Teef feel nice and scrubbed. But have to go back same time next wk for some fillings. Thankfully nothing major and at least I’ll get to continue chatting about knitting and kits.

PG, I signed into Coursera. Tomorrow I plan to check out catalogue and see what might be interesting. Someone also mentioned that this is an excellent idea.

So on the way home I was on the bus when the “unfluffy” conductor decided to ignore peeps wanting to get off, and the bell was not working. Now I made it clear what stop I wanted in my usual way. But 2 peeps, both using canes, had no idea where they were. I gave them directions, but they had to walk back like 2 blocks. And in the slush and ice. The conductor said not a single word. And I would have given him what for had I not gotten off. Some real “winners” in this world – and getting paid too! And on bus trip to dentist some girl was busy chatting on her cell, sitting in a seat reserved for “challenged” peeps, while an elderly woman stood. I said that girl should offer seat to the woman, but the girl pretended that no one else was there. Charming! 😡

Anyway the arnica seems to have helped my glute muscle some. And physio reminded me that ice, never heat is the way to go. I’m just that tired out now so prob L8R. Plus there’s a certain kit wanting his noms – like right meow!
