vw, most of your pieces sound like they're about the hellish parts of life AND coming through them stronger, which is making me think of a title like "Baptism By Fire" (which is a bit melodramatic), or -- oh! I know it's stealing from a comic book, but "Phoenix Rising"!!!
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Now tagless for your comfort.
Steph, your BigBoss sounds like a good guy. I do hope he's recovering nicely. And I hope he loves his Flesh Eating Bacteria stuffed microbe. Sounds like he has a good sense of humor about this and it taking it in stride.
We're so behind. I have a new haircut and we're all fed but time to finish the last of the packing and get our assess on the road.
I get to spend time with erika on Sunday! Wheeeeee! /taunty pants

/taunty pantsI read this as taunty parts. It works either way.

If I only had a brain...
Apparently we will get time-and-a-half after all.
Still hate it.

yellowjackets?
As in "yellow jackets, eek!" or "what are these yellow jackets of which you speak?"
Good for you for not freaking out. I know I would have.
Oh, I freaked out on the inside (as my bp revealed), and let enough of my true feelings show through in the form of words I'd rather Annabel not pick up. Knowing my luck, her first reallyo trulyo unmistakable word used properly in context will be "fuck!" or "dammit!"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Baptism By Fire" (which is a bit melodramatic), or -- oh! I know it's stealing from a comic book, but "Phoenix Rising"!!!
See, I tend towards something more understated, myself. Slightly soiled, for example, or Hiding the cracks, or Mixed blessings, or Undercurrents, or, oh, I don't know. Something a bit broken and less inspirational.
YMMV.

yellowjackets, eek.
yeah, the bp is not a great thing, but good you were able to keep it together in front of Annabelle. But try not to drop dead internalizing too much!

Mostly lurking...

I don't get the reference. Now I'm all sad and must go buy comic books.
Hiding the cracks,
I hope this was for me, 'cause I'm loving Hiding the cracks.

I agree with Fay.
