Today has turned out relatively calm. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

[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.

Once again my belief in the inherently bloodthirsty nature of the universe's balance has been borne out. Hubby is, as I type, up in a hospital room, admitted for a blockage of his bowel. They're hoping they can clear it up with drugs, otherwise it's surgery.
I was waiting for the other shoe that came with the Social Security settlement. Hopefully it won't all have to go to hospital bills.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thanks, everyone. She was an amazing woman who deserved a long, long life. I was very lucky in the coworker department. We were in almost constant communication on a daily basis, and if it would have been someone much less pleasant, my life would have been hell.
(I feel I'm not getting my point across, but every time I rewrite that last sentence, I mangle the intent more and more.)
I'm going to miss her.
Vortex, please tell me your day got better yesterday? I'm behind in LJ and I skipped some posts here earlier.
Sunil, there are a lot of times when I read it that way too. Of course, there are other times when the first thing that pops into my head is "Most Favored Nation-law," but that may just be my International Relations quirk.
edit: Susan, I'm glad they haven't started throwing things yet.

Damn, connie. I hope they clear the obstruction quickly and non-surgically.

Oh, Connie. I was hoping for only one shoe. I hope they can clear it up quickly.

Oh lord, Connie. That man. (I know, he doesn't do it on purpose.)
Fingers crossed for your aunt, Trudes. I hope it's as managable as cancer gets.

Yes, I went the the DC bar open house, had a drink there and flirted with some guy, then dinner with one of my best friends.

The status is NOT quo.
Connie, I'm so sorry. The universe is being really lame.
Trudy, health ~ma to your aunt and coping~ma to you.
ETA: Vortex, very glad that things got better.
