Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I wonder if the fact that I just overheard my boss having a screaming fight (with her husband, I hope) will affect (effect? I can never get that right!) our 2:30 meeting?

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

Affect.

Phew. Mostly I just reframe the sentence.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Affect is a verb most of the time, and effect is a noun most of the time.

Ah -- excellent. Maybe I can actually keep that straight now? Because I know for sure to talk about a person's flat affect, or whatever.

Or to put it another way,

Dear Jesse:

It's quite possible this will affect your meeting. I do hope it has the effect you want, and effects a change in the meeting schedule.

Affectedly yrs,

me.

Ooooh, many good labour-vibes headed your way, Jess. I'll be thinking of you and E.

And congratulations to Lyra Jane! I missed that one as well; serve me right for skipping. Your daughter is a beauty.
