Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[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, that's cool.
"Oh, I Know! You're Purple Marx!"
Man, he's not a Teletubby.

That is *beautiful.*
I hope you find some peace and calm in your break, Susan.
You're very welcome back here when you're ready.
Any old fancy place you like at the Ferry Building.
Oh man. Good stuff.
Hec, I can't express how much the offer means. I feel like a dork saying thanks, but not right now. BUT once things lighten up a touch, I'll be over there. My office is not far from BART, so it would be an easy jump across the bay.
My best Halloween moment last night came when I was having an interior monologue about "Where has the magic gone?"
Right then a deer came up the street. I shone my flashlight, and my son said "MOM! Haven't you ever heard of a DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS?". So I turned it off. The deer went clickety-click up the hill, passed us, and went on about its deerly business.
That'll do.
A few months ago, you were considering and/or talking to your NP about anxiety and ways of coping with it, weren't you? (I think you were, but anything that happened while I was pregnant is a weird blur because my brain wasn't functioning right.) It sounds like, between your father's death, the novel, your job hunt, and the normal grind of parenting, your anxiety levels are through the roof again. Can you talk to her again? Maybe see if there are new strategies for coping that will give you a fresh perspective?
Right now it's waiting until I get a job. The way our insurance is structured, it pays 60% of the costs of most counseling-type treatments, and the stress of putting the remaining 40% onto our gradually escalating credit card debt feels like it'd make my anxiety worse rather than better.
I hope you find some peace and calm in your break, Susan.
You're very welcome back here when you're ready.
Thanks, Hec. I really appreciate that.
Happy Birthday, Ginger!!!!

It'll be fun! I'm already looking forward to it.
Woops, did we miss Ginger Festivus? Happy happy birthday to Ginger!
