I hope the life stuff gets better soon, Nicole.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Leaky radiators can sometimes be fixed with ground black pepper and egg.So can breakfast.

It's all the other life stuff that can't be fixed by cash.
Seems like there's a lot of that going around. Too bad we don't have a decongestant for life, less stuff would be good.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Just coarse ground black pepper is a staple for old timers in plugging radiators, the bits find the holes and plug them up.
Don't think I've ever used egg.

meara, d you mind all the travelling you do?
In general? I love it. On occasion, yes, it definitely gets to be a pain--it's very hard to strike a good balance of "enough travel that I'm out of the office and enjoying that" and "enough home that I have time to do shit and see people and live in my city". But I like getting to visit other places, and see my friends in far-flung cities (on someone else's dime) and stay in hotels and eat yummy dinners...etc, etc. I think, however, that if I did not have the internet, it would suck a lot. Thankfully, most hotels have high speed nowadays. Plus of course, there's the bennies of the travel funding (via FFmiles) more travel! But basically, yes, the travel is a big part of why I like this job--but there are other positions with the same/similar titles, which are ALL travel (or 80-90%--travelling 4/5 or 9/10 days, then doing reports at home one day) which I would NOT want.
So did anyone else watch Grey's Anatomy and go "Hey! That woman is wearing VW's turban!"?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I didn't nap at all this weekend, even though I didn't get much sleep, and yet, I am wide awake right now. What's up with that?

The Curse of Sunday Night. It's the Time Fairies fault as well.
Mom of Cass comes here tomorrow for a week. I should try to get on a normal sleep pattern by then.

Damn those pesky little Fairies. They are sooo on my list.
I hope you have fun with Mom of Cass.

Hee! Sorry I missed that!
Speaking of the turban...I think I should get those test results tomorrow.
