Comfort Corner

[fuzzyred]

The carpet is thick, soft and cream coloured, while the walls are a yellow bronze colour. In the corner along one wall there is a large sofa, able to seat 4 or 5 people comfortably. Along the other corner wall there is a smaller sofa for 2 or 3 people. In the middle of the furniture, there is a low, round coffee table, perfect for colouring at or for other craft activities.

There is a scratching post and a cat tree for climbing, which are both along the wall opposite the couch. A few fluffy beds have also been put out, in varying sizes, in case any one prefers the floor. There is also a large sturdy perch and a marked off area that says "Landing Pad" in case any winged friends want to visit.

There is now a blue chaise chair in the nook as well, which has been placed near the couch and is good for both sitting and spreading out lengthwise.

There are two baskets off to the side. One contains fuzzy blankets, a variety of fuzzy and textured pillows, and a collection of stuffed animals while the other contains a variety of art supplies, ranging from colouring pages and blank paper to crayons and coloured pencils, and more besides.

Coffee cake, rhubarb muffins, tea, coffee and chocolate milk are todays offerings, with an assortment of games and yarn laid out, if anyone is interesting in playing or starting a project.

Mmmmmm, rhubarb. *brings in a bag of halal gyros and a couple boxes of shawarma for sharing*

*plunks down next to Fuzzy.* "Chess?"

[fuzzyred]

Oooo *snags some gyros and shawarma*

*hugs Bear* "I'll play you a game of chess, if you'll play me a game of chinese checkers, and if you don't mind playing chess against a novice player."

[technoshaman]

*HUUUUGS* Deal. And I'm so damn rusty at chess it's probably coming off in large red flakes...

[fuzzyred]

I don't have much of a head for strategy, though I do know how the pieces move, and the goal of the game. Planning and thinking ahead have never really been my strong suit though. Still, playing against someone who is not my sister might be more fun (we have a tendency to rub the wrong way sometimes), and I like spending time with you. :)

[technoshaman]

*chuckle* my little sister and I rubbed each other the wrong way from the day I met her when I was 2 until just a couple months ago. (That was when I discovered that her time with the union had changed her politics radically enough that she married an outright socialist... :D She still misses the bar on a few things (KEEP YER DAMN MASK ON!) but we agree vehemently on enough things I think we'll get along for the foreseeable. :)

You got any ideas on a chess platform, or shall I check my network for a good one? And do we wanna play realtime, or sort of play-by-mail?

[fuzzyred]

I understand that. My younger sister and I have rather different personalities so we usually clashed growing up. Not living together and no longer being teenagers helps a lot though, we get along for the most part now.

I don't have any ideas on that front, just a vague awareness that online chess games do exist. Play-by-mail might be easier, I'm not sure our schedules match enough to play realtime (though if they do that would be preferred).

*flies in as phoenis with red and gold plumagee edged in silver and gold talans and beak* *lands on perch, folds wings, and promptly nearly falls of in exhaustion*

~Worldweary Trausio is worldweary...halpz pls?~

[fuzzyred]

*piles extra cushions under the perch, in case of mishaps, for a softer landing*

I'm sorry the world seems to be weighing on you so much right now. Anything I can do to help?

[we_are_spc]

If you're into anything Scentsy, take a peak, plz?

It's going all the way through June, and I have a group where I'm featuring different things, but I just...I've only gotten one order so far, and I feel like I'm screaming into the void here.

Also: I haven't forgotten the writing, but I can't concentrate worth crap :( I've tried.

[fuzzyred]

I've never ordered from scentsy before so I'm not sure how this works. I do like that there are things like the car clips and the room spray though, that don't need special equipment. Two important questions: does me living in Canada pose a problem? And can I pick things that you didn't feature?

(If the Canadian things is a problem, I can just Paypal you and equivalent amount instead. Also, I shall boost the signal for you.)

No worries about the writing. It will happen when it happens, and if no ideas come, that's ok too.

[we_are_spc]

I don't think it should be. If you find you can't let me know.

And no, you don't have to by only the things I feature. You can buy out the site in car bars, room sprays and scent packs for all I care. LOL

There are also handsoaps, laundry things...I could go on at length about things that don't need burners or defusers.

[fuzzyred]

I will definitely take a look and let you kniw. I should be able to find something good; they have a lot more options than I realized.

[we_are_spc]

Yeah, I like their options now they've expanded a bit.

*sighs*...*flops*...

Two posts tomorrow, yup. Because I am too beat to do anything else. (Happytiredbeat, but still beat.)

-T~

[fuzzyred]

I'm glad it's a happy kind of beat, and hopefully you feel rested and awake today.

*hug*

[we_are_spc]

Got to go out and get a better feel of an appliance I want +dinner at Panera Bread. A good few hours out with a friend does wonders. *sighs* :)

But now I'm back to being like...blah/bleah/blurg *apathyetic* *sighs*

*hugs back* *snuggles*

-T~

[fuzzyred]

Getting to go out and do things is nice. :) I hope the appliance shopping went well, and that your dinner was good.

Awww, *hugs* It's always unpleasant when you can't shake the blahs.

*snuggle*

[we_are_spc]

daIt did, but now I need to find a way to buy it, because Amazon doesn't have the brand. :( And I can't buy it all at once because no unemployment yet, and I'm...kinda picky. o.x

I know. It's a little better today, but not by much. I kinda wish I had more than just cereal for breakfast because no milk right now, but. *sighs*

-T~

[fuzzyred]

Hopefully you find somewhere to buy it soon, and unenployment comes through in a timely manner. Nothing wrong with being a little picky when it comes to your stuff.

Hopefully things continue improving, and more breakfast food is acquired before the next time you want it.

*hug* J

[we_are_spc]

No going out for coffee perchase yet, though I did snag a cup from a bag this morning.

I'm still trying to nail down when someone can take me because, dammit, this not having caffeine is a problem.

*hugs* because I can.

-T~

[fuzzyred]

Yay for borrowed coffee.

I hope the schedules work out soon so you can replenish your coffee supply.

*hugs* Thank you :)

[we_are_spc]

Me, too. Because let me tell you...it's my addiction right now, and I'm kind of both ashamed and unashamed about it.

I've had like threecups a day for the past three running (Or every other day depending)...and I can't seem to have the discipline to make myself cut back.

-T~

[fuzzyred]

You are not alone in the coffee addiction. I know many people who have multiple cups a day. As long as you aren't feeling any adverse health effects, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Enjoy the things you like and tha give you pleasure.

[we_are_spc]

I'm not, although Now I'm starting to cut back, it's been a bit interesting. (More in defference to my rom mates' coffee supply than anything else)

I just...I'm so depressed, and so used to being given direction in hard times that I just have no idea what to do anynore.

-T~

[fuzzyred]

That's good, hopefully you aren't feeling any adverse effects from cutting back, and hopefully more coffee arrives soon.

That's rough. Having to go without something you are used to is really hard. I don't know if the instructions were a good thing for you or not, but either way, having to make the decisions for yourself can be really hard when you aren't used to needing to do it.

*hug* I hope you find something that helps, and that things start looking up for you, or at least get less hard. And I'm always here for hugs and cuddles.

[we_are_spc]

It wasn't. It was...part of the marass of things I found out about my parents in the last few years that meant "infantilization"...

I still have a hard time not thinking of anyone I live for whose energy feels stronger than mine as authority figures. Whether they want to be or not.

I'm okay when I'm on my own, but as soonas I hae a perceived authority person...

well yeah, there's that.

-T~

[fuzzyred]

That sounds very unpleasant, though it does sound like you are out of that situation now at least.

That's got to be tough, especially if that's not the way you want things to be.

I wish I had more knowledge or was better at finding resources. I'm sure there are plenty of things out there to help with decision making, being more assertive, standing on your own, and knowing how to deal with strong personalities, but I wouldn't know where to point you. That's assuming that this is something you want to change, and have spoons to spare for of course. Which you definitely don't need to, change can be big and hard and the people that say "It's easy, things will be better" make me mad, because it's really not easy and it's not always so clear that the change is worth it.

(Sorry for the rambling, I kind of suck at words, and I'm always worried I'm going to accidentally say something to upset or offend people.)

*hugs* Good luck with everything, may it go the way you want.

P.S. It's cuddle party time again on Ysabet's blog, if you feel up to it.

[we_are_spc]

Bad situation was bad, yeah.

Thank you. It is, and yeah...and those who try to put a timetable on it.

...

Therapy day (Both psycologist and psychiatrist)...not yet, maybe later.

*hugs* not upsetting. :)

[fuzzyred]

I hope your situation is better now, and keeps getting better, until you are happy with it.

Those who try to put a timetable on it can go suck an egg. Change is hard, and it takes as long as it takes. *You* are the one who has to put in the work, not them, and your pace and comfort are the main things, not anyone else's agenda.

I hope the therapy goes well, and no pressure on anything.

*hugs* good :)

[we_are_spc]

It did. I have homework. *g*

-T~

[fuzzyred]

Good :) I hope the homework is helpful and goes well.
