Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else  

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Gronklies.

I need to go grade papers and work on the talk I'm giving on Monday. I'm not quite awake yet. I also have no food here for breakfast and no coffee. Option 1 is go to Starbucks, get coffee and a danish, eat at the office, and then get to work. Option 2 is go back to sleep, forget about breakfast, then wake up around lunchtime and go get lunch then. Option 1 is probably the more responsible one, but Option 2 is looking nice.

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

We got up early 'cause the contractors were supposed to be here at 8am, but surprise! (or NSM) they won't be coming till 10:30. Maybe.

I'm working on a mix and waiting till I have to get ready for the farm/lunch with our farm-mates (who is Tom's boss, who I am not currently pleased with for work related reasons) so I'm trying to mentally work on boundaries and compartmentalization.

Also trying to decide if the Disintegration or Remixed version of Lullaby (The Cure) is creepier.

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

I prefer the Disintegration version.

yeah, I'm leaning that way as well.

Evil. I am still trying to get the cats to make me coffee. And maybe fix something to eat.

Slugabeds. I've been at work since 6AM.

I was at the quilt store at 6 a.m. What lovely fun!

Now I'm ready for a nap, though. But, it's a perfect Fall day here, and I'm thinking of taking Toto for another nice long walk.

I'm getting the pig!

Well, damn. I think I'm going to have to hit an after hours clinic relatively soon today. Unless, that is, anyone here has any medical advice...

I basically feel fine - except for tenderness along the entire left side of my neck. The lymph nodes have been swollen for more than a week and this morning I no longer even have a jawline on that side. I can't imagine that's a good thing. I'd wait until Monday but it feels like I'm beginning to have slight difficulty swallowing.

My lymph nodes swell at any sign of infection, so I'm relatively used to that, but I've never experienced this type of extreme swelling. I don't have a fever, though (98.1 - go team low body temp), so I'm hesitant to think this is caused by a virus.

If anyone has experienced this, believe me, I'm more than happy to wait it out if it'll improve on its own. I'll go jump in the shower now though, just in case the only advice is Go To The Doctor.

Signed,

Hate going to the doctor.

Sounds like a better place and more conducive to a timely nap.

I am thinking bad virus that then left the frelling door open for an opportunistic infection or two that have now moved in as squatters. Yes, that is my bitter voice, but it is one of experience. Sadly, that voice is also going to recommend that you see a doctor and let them tell you the same thing. Might need antib's and the amount of swelling you are describing also concerns me. Sorry, to the doctor it is...
