Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[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.
Glad you guys made it despite the delay. Lots of strength to you, Susan.
I'm starting to feel really lucky - I got lots of accurate instruction about breastfeeding (including some from a male doctor after the baby was born), and other than a few days some weeks into the process where the pain was really bad, neither Mal nor I had any trouble.
The one problem was that, although I was rooming-in with Mal, they would take him for hours at a time to monitor him and do various other tests (due to a problematic birth), and wouldn't always bring him back to nurse (since they said he wasn't hungry). So on Day 3, when he got REALLY hungry, I was unprepared for how often I was going to have to feed him. That was more a communication issue, though.
Rolling about in released smitten-ma...
I've gotten my smit object to embrace "NGA" and "Nsm" as net-expressions. This amuses me but I would've been happier if he had embraced *me* instead of course. I have been tempted to buy bottled pheromones, but that's crapola, right?
And besides, still me, under all the chemicals, right?
And they're expensive anyway.
Also, it reminds me of Diego Garcia.
Yeah, I thought of DG when I read it. But then I also was kitty sitting yesterday for my friend who was there for three and a half of the last five years while he and wife went to Vegas for the weekend.
Finally started cleaning for sis's arrival and my vacuum cleaner died. This isn't a good start. Damn.
Lots of people rec'd me the Bissell PowerTrak last week and I am quite happy with it. Not that you asked... But, hey, sharing the love here.
New vacuum has been purchased, assembled and used.
Um, too late. I'm train-of-thought mearaing here.
Boric acid normally helps cut down the infestation.
And kills fleas too! I didn't know it banishes ants though. Learned something new today.
Also, I'm amused that I'm engaged in that most Buffista-ish of activities -- posting while medically unwell. (Like "I'm delivering my baby RIGHT NOW!!!! Hey, does anyone know if BSG is new this week?")
I hope you feel better when you wake up, Steph.
I thought I might have a rib out of place. But the sore spot on my back is ... tingling. Like on a stim machine but I'm not. This is kinda when I would like that health insurance mess to be taken care of because this seems very not good.
So glad to hear that Toto is doing better, vw. Sorry to hear that you're not, Teppy. I hope the nap and fluids do the job. It seems like they are good cures for most ailments.
All this nursing talk is
most
enlightening. Not that I'll ever have a need to know it personally, but still, who knew? (Well, besides Cashmere and Plei and Raq and ...)
Am drinking champagne and contemplating going back downstairs to get a second piece of cake. I made a cake! For the first time in, like, 4 years or so. There was a time, when my sister was wee, when I used to make fabulous birthday cake extravaganzas every year - cakes shaped like dragons, covered with chocolate button scales, with wings made from icecream wafers, cakes shaped like the tablecloth-draped table where a group of marzipan bears were eating a teddy bear's picnic, complete with wee cake in the centre of the table - that kind of thing. But not for years. However, I have Made A Cake. A very simple cake - I get irritable about following recipes, so this is just normal cake recipe with lots of cocoa added, and then the cake sliced in half when nearly cool and filled with cherries in amaretto syrup, and a bit of cream. And I used Betty Crocker icing, which was okay, and decorated it with silver balls and little lilac-coloured flowers and lilac-coloured sugar crystals. It was
very
pretty.
And I'm making lots and lots of typos, which may be related to the champagne.
Oooh! And we saw a hedgehog! We have a hedgehog living in the back garden. BLESS. Very cute.
Ack, I didn't wish Fay the happiest of birthdays yet. Happy Birthday!
Back is like a damn spasmatic right now. Am cranky for it. Must search for weakass muscle relaxers. The tingly part is really weird.
That sounds fun, Fay. Now I want some champagne.

This does not sound like a simple cake to me. I am glad you are enjoying yourself.
{{{{{{Cass}}}}}} Get better.
Lots of people rec'd me the Bissell PowerTrak last week
I actually bought the Bissell Power Trak!!
(I would love to claim shared-brain-ness with Cass but the truth is that I was taking notes in Natter last week. Just in case.)
Susan, sorry about the flight delay but I'm glad you were able to make it there. Peace to you and your family.
