Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That sounds like a nice kind of wiped out, Aimee.
Much ma for Sean and S

I really wish I could learn some coping skills for dealing with stress, especially when I'm hormonal. I keep finding myself being a total bitca to TCG tonight, and I truly don't mean to be. I hate myself when I'm like this.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Joe keeps telling me to go to sleep if I want to.
I keep reminding him, "IT'S CRAB NIGHT!"
I am obsessed with "Deadliest Catch".

I'm getting the pig!
I'm glad you had a Good Day, Aimee. You deserve some Good Days.
sj, please try not to beat yourself up. It's possible that beating yourself up will only perpetuate your mood. It's like fuel to the hormonal fire. If you snap at him, just apologize and move on, sweetie. He's no angel, either. It'll be ok. And until it *is* ok, {{{sj}}}

I know exactly. I get weepy and angry (irrationally, I think), I want to be left alone, but then I feel lonely and I want closeness. I'm not sure I have any good coping advice to pass along. I usually just acknowledge that I'm hormonal and that it's making me an asshole. That's not an excuse, Mr. Jane (or whoever is on the receiving end) is owed an apology and an honest attempt at controlling my emotions, but just acknowledging what's going on sometimes helps.

Now tagless for your comfort.

You and my DH. Freaks.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Huh. After repeatedly reassuring my mother that I do not have bronchitis, I looked it up on the Mayo clinic website, and I've got every symptom, for just about exactly the amount of time that it says, of bronchitis. But I still feel justified in my "Quit telling me to go to the doctor!" since the website lists rest, liquids, and OTC cough medicine as treatment, and says to seek medical treatment if your fever lasts more than three days (mine was Friday-Sunday), goes over 101 (mine hit 101 exactly then started going down), or if you're coughing up blood (nope.)
So, on the plus side, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. On the minus side, there's no magic pill that'll make me feel better. But on the other plus side, this has been the first day since Friday that I haven't needed to use my inhaler, so it's getting better.

Speaking of bitca's, my new professor sounds like she is one. She essentially said in her introduction that if we think we might have a family or medical emergency that will keep us from doing an assignment, we should just drop the class now. Plus, she assigned chapters 4-7 for the first week and said that we should probably read chapters 1-3 that week too, just to familiarize ourselves with the material. Seven chapters in one week? Am I a wimp or does that seem excessive to anyone else?
