For the 3rd time in the last week, GF's mom has called and told her she needs to get to the hospital immediately. I am anxious and frustrated, which I know is wrong, but how many times can this happen? I'm a terrible person.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, GC, hon. Anxious and frustrated isn't wrong. It's the furthest thing from wrong -- if you weren't feeling the strain after all he and you and gf and the whole family have been through, it'd be an awful lot like not giving a damn. Keep doing your best for them (as I know you do) but cut yourself a break.

move out and draw fire
No, actually, I think anxious and frustrated and how many times are the completely normal responses.
Signed, saw both parents in terminal hospital stays.
I am currently wanting to strangle my HR department. My W-2 appears to be in vasty reaches of space. I can't print out my pay statements. Oh sure, there's a button on the screen that says "PRINT THIS STATEMENT" but it's just the same as hitting the browser's print button, so I only get half the page. And that's if I drive to our home campus to pick it up, because us rovers can't connect our work computers to any other printer.
Why yes, it is an IT company.

Thanks, guys. GF's mom is a bit of a drama queen under the best of circumstances so it's always hard to know if it is really a close-to-death situation. And again I feel like an ass for even saying such a thing with all she's going through. I feel like a human yoyo - I can only imagine what GF and her mom are feeling. I'm also extremely sad because I have a terrible feeling I'll never see GF's dad again. The last time I got to see him was Dec. 29.

Our wings are not tired.
How frustrating, GC. Also, you and GF and so damn cute in the pics linked this morning. I don't remember if it was this thread. But I do remember smiling.

You're both so purty!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I agree!

Both very purty indeed.
