Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
As an aside, the name the pope selects usually has some symbolic meaning , usually means he is inspired by or continuing the policies of the previous pope whose name he is using.
That being said, Vatican watchers are currently analyzing Benedict XV's record to see what drew Benedict XVI to the name, and also looking at some of the previous Benedicts since Benedict XVI spend time early his life a theology researcher, and one of the earlier popes may have had an effect on him...
Ugh. I'm having a really difficult time getting moving this morning. I need to be getting in the shower about right now. Gonna go walk the dog and start trying to get ready...
Not!Emily Roommate just asked me how to turn the oven on. I thought that would amuse at least Cindy.
Hee. I woke about 3:50, but managed to catch another hour of sleep. It turns out Chris's "cold" which I was sure was just allergies, may have really been an actual cold, and that he may not have been putting on how craptacular he felt, as I am feeling the same. Feh.

Hope it gets easier, vw. Maybe the walk and the fresh air will get your blood pumping enough to help you feel like getting ready.
Gronklies, everyone.
Also? TICKYBOX!
TICKYBOX!
This never fails to make me smile.
I am showered and getting ready to go. It is going to be damn hot here today. Too bad I don't have the air conditioner in from my parents' yet.
Poor Cindy! I hope you start to feel better, girl.
Thanks, vw. It is going to be hot, and dh has this *thing* about putting the a.c. in the window, before June. Tonight, if I haven't expired from the heat and my cold, I shall make him pay, oh yes, I shall make him pay.
Feel better Cindy. A little honey lemon tea?
vw - I want you to know how proud I am of you this semester. You have been doing whatever it takes to keep your class work a priority despite the distressing disruptions life has been dishing. Hugs and love to you.
Thank you so much, Laura.
And with that, I'm signing off for now.
Feel better, Cindy--and I hope Chris gets over his nasty cold, too. I have a 23lb bag of snot here, too. But he's doing ok with an antihistimine.
DH came home and figured out that while at work, he felt fine but as soon as he came home, he got stuffy and felt awful. Of course, I've had the windows open for a few days and it turns out his allergies are getting worse as he gets older. It killed me to shut up the house and turn on the A/C in April.
Timelies.
I hope you made it to class on time, vw. Sorry about the sucky night.
I had forgotten that last year we were all stuffy until I turned on the a/c. It's gorgeous here today, though, 65 degrees and springy breeze, so I'm just going to keep taking antihistamines (first typed as ...shitamines) and enjoy the lovely weather.
April 20, Utah. Cold, rain, occasional snow. And in three weeks I"ll probably be bitching about heat as we start the climb up to the 100-degree mark for the summer.
However, my evil self is smirking over the big new houses up on the sides of the mountains. Right below where there's a big cut across the face of the mountain, which is right below the snowpack. A perfect place to catch all the water coming down, especially since they hacked away the groundcover and the root structures that will hold the very sandy, prone-to-slide dirt. People, the pioneers didn't build up there for very good reasons, because they could read geography and see where the earth said, "Flood zone, stay well back."
"There haven't been any flooding problems in twenty years, you'll be fine to build right next to that tiny creek."
