Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I seem to be eating sugar-free fudge-covered graham crackers for breakfast. The codeine cough syrup said to take it with food. Which is to say, the instructions said to do that, as opposed to the narcotic drug talking to me. Narcotic, not hallucinogenic. Really.

Hmm, it may be time for me to turn myself bed-wards.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

As for what they need, a double stroller narrow enough to get through store doors would be top of my list. The wide ones look cool, but I've heard complaints about getting around with them.

Those bi-level ones look cool.... well, not completely double-decker, but the back kid is higher than the front kid and the stroler ends up shorter. Lemme see if I can find a pic.

Here's one!

I think it makes the whole contraption a little shorter and the kid in the back can see too.

I think my friend is actually looking at getting a racing model for her double strolling needs. Doo Doo Ironman

She plans to start running again after the babies get here. We used to train together. Since she hasn't run since she started trying to get pregnant (last Januaryish), supposedly I'm going to be in charge of pushing the stroller while she gets her running legs and lungs back. I really need to start doing some upper-body work! Although I think the thing with those strollers is that they practically push themselves. Super high tech!

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

Hee. You know those strollers they have that you pull behind your bike? I saw a guy in the park last summer with a golden retriever sitting in the back. Too funny.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Wee cell phones are great except when you lose them and you *know* there are around somewhere. Just took me twenty minutes of active searching and an hour of vague musing to find it. Having it on a single beep? Not helpful except to know it is alive and within ten feet. It crawled into bed, under the computer last night. This is why it is important to have an other phone (which I don't) or internet (which let me text it) around.

Narcotic, not hallucinogenic. Really.
Suuuuuuure... My nifty cough stuff does both. Slacker.
starting eating Mexican food and being really stressed, and gained a crapload of weight.
Don't blame this on the delicious Mexican food. Mmmmm, taquitos.

Speaking of California, who turned off the damn heat. It's 48 degrees in my room right now. I finally got out of bed for good so I could put on more clothes. Sheesh.

Oh, and AIM resigned me in last night after I went to bed. Sorry.

grooooooooooonk

One last day. Today, we finish all the production paperwork, and prep all our deliverables, and put this puppy to bed. Delivery won't actually take place until my producers get back from a week or two of vacation, but we want to have everything finished and ready to go today.

I'm so friggin' tired. Ugh, and the start of the next show is going to be rough - I'll be working a play on weekends while I'm working the show during the week, so for almost seven weeks, I will have zero days off. I have to be careful too. I don't want to let any crankiness I may feel creep into my behavior around the production office. That would not endear me to my producers.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

oof, Sean. That's a really tough schedule. I had a hard time keeping it together when I'd go for ~3 weeks without a break, 7 weeks will be hard. I mean, yay job and yay $$, but I advise making a plan how to maximize your very little time off as effectively as possible. Try to eat well, that will help (though it's hard when so busy)

I myself got my one and only (well so far) officail warning for behavior when I was dealing with a similar situation.

Not trying to scare you, just empathizing. Try to make plans. Plans with how to deal with stress, plans how to sleep and rest and stuff.

Good luck. And, YAY FOR YOU!
