Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

know I was freaky paranoid there before, but A) I know there's such a thing as a lethal food allergy, and B) I've never been around someone in the throes of one, so I don't have intimate familiarity with the danger signs. I didn't want to freak out, which is why I dealt calmly with Annabel, but I also didn't want to blow off something potentially dangerous.

Not freaky paranoid at all. You figured out the likely suspect, took care of that problem, and went looking for more information while monitoring Annabel. I can't think of a better way of handling the situation.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Why aren't people entertaining me?

Someone really should get a copy of this to Trey and Matt somehow.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

But it does mean the hummus is MINE, ALL MINE!!!!

Yup. He said we could try hummus again in a few months, and though it's probably the chickpeas that did it, we should avoid giving her olive oil or garlic for a day or two, too, and watch her carefully next time we do. Which means she can't have the leftover chicken thighs.

Visited another daycare this a.m. It's a good $200/month cheaper than the first place we looked at, and I liked it better. Less chi-chi and touchy-feely, but bigger classrooms for the same number of children, a bigger playground, and they feed the kids breakfast, lunch, and a snack (the other place fed snacks, but the kids are supposed to breakfast at home and bring a sack lunch). They teach Spanish starting from preschool and generally focus on school readiness. They even have space in the toddler room as of now, though who knows if that'll be the case once I get a job.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

In five minutes I leave to pick up, among other things, carrot cake.

This pleases me greatly.

I think if I asked my manager just right, he'd do a wee jig for me. Of course, I'd have to bring him Krispy Kreme donuts for the following week.

Might be worth it.

My student worker is quitting. Doesn't surprise me; she's bored and one of her profs had an open lab space.

Any of you UW students in the market for $9/hour?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(Do you think that would work on people here in the office?)

Only one way to find out!
