[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.
Oh, no, Tep. I'm sorry. Are you OK?
I'm stressed, trying not to cry at work, and just wanting to run and hide.
Instead, I have to go volunteer at this charity thing that one of my friends *begged* me to volunteer at -- it's only 6-8, and I'm working the silent auction table, which means I basically answer questions like "Yes, you write your name where it says NAME."
But I just want to....hell, I don't even know what I want.
Steph?
This is a geniuine excuse. "I'm sorry, Sophia, my father is hospitalized and I can't make it." You have every right to say that.
Betsy is very, very wise.

Absolutely. I hope everything works out well for your dad, Steph.
What Betsy said, Steph.
Yep.
And if she pitches a fuss, kill her.

But -- it's not like I'm going to be *at* the hospital, or anything. If I weren't at the charity even, I'd probably be in a fetal position under all the covers.

You have every right to do that. Or to go home and take a hot bath, or a naked movie, or whatever. Don't force yourself to perform.
{{Teppy}} You need to take care of you, too. And if that means staying home to sweat it out or go to the hospital to be with your dad, do it. Tell your friend you will volunteer at a later date, but not tonight. Rainchecks are very much acceptable in this type situation.

Yeah, but....I'd just feel so *guilty* for bailing on her. (I'm not asking for reassurances that I shouldn't feel guilty; I'm just trying to convey my admittedly INSANE frame of mind right now.)
