Man! Hope S. recovers quickly. Universe! Lay off her! Just for like a week fer crissakes at least.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

What is even happening?
Sean, get S to drink as much as humanly possible. If you have a blender, maybe make her some crushed ice. Wiping down her arms and neck with a cool cloth is a good idea, too. The friction brings the blood nearer to the surface and the evaporating water cools the skin, which helps cool the blood. Make sure she is dressed very lightly and doesn't bundle up. She's got to get that temp down. If she can stand it, maybe a luke warm shower is not out of order. But mostly, she's got to drink drink drink.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
HA! I *knew* you would!
I know, I know - my sunny optimism is so predictable.
I do recognize that mindset, though, and I think it tends to sustain and validate itself. Which leads to spiraling. Next thing you know, you're saying things like....
you can't keep it all bottled up inside. That leads to rage blackouts, heart attacks, and tumors. When stressful shit happens, and you need to talk about it, then by all means, talk about it.
Crazy talk! She still believes in Freud's Talking Cure! Dude, didn't the insurance companies explain to you how all we need are pills now?
I don't consider that to be "complaining," at least not in a whiny, refuses-to-take-good-advice way.
It is complaining! That's what happens when you voice your complaints. Just because people don't want to think of themselves as complainers doesn't mean we drain the word of its meaning, stuff it and mount it on the shelf.

I'm with Cindy, Sean. That's a really high fever for an adult.

Poor Sean and S! Listen to Mom!Cindy. She is very wise.

No joke, the mental spiraling practically manifests physically sometimes. Crazy!
Speaking of spiraling, have I mentioned how much I love my bellydancing class? And that I've signed up for another 10 weeks? I was bellydancing to ELO at home, much to Tom's amusement and interest.

Because books.
Oh, Sean. I'm glad you're better, but I'm echoing the advice about getting S's temp down. You two need a break, bigtime.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Tep, where is your tag from? It's cracking me up.
