Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[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.

Yeah. It was clear that I had, once again, set too high of expectations of myself (surprise! surprise!). So, this is the new big thing to focus on. It's frustrating to want to be able to do something (and feel like I HAVE to to survive), but just not have the energy.

And it's interesting. See, now that there is boy, my priorities are a little different. I'm not willing to push myself into the ground and have the major breakdown. I really want balance. So, I just have to work to find it. And the schedule I planned for myself? NOT balanced.

I really want balance.

It's a good thing! And hey, at least you figured it out early. Sometimes it's okay to have spare hours in a day.

Yeah. Exactly. This is what both my therapist and the agency said. And the woman at the agency is being so kind. She actually called to check on me yesterday afternoon, and she said, "You don't know until you try. At least you tried. So many people don't even do that."

Totally unrelated, my poor dad has shingles!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

LIZARD SO CUTE!!! WANT TO KISS LITTLE LIZARD HEAD, OMG!!!

Good point. Last week I bought David Attenborough's latest series, Life in Cold Blood. (On reptiles and amphibians.) I think his doccos now cover pretty much all non-microscopic life. (Life of Birds, Life of Mammals, Blue Planet, Life in the Undergrowth, Secret Life of Plants, and now Life in Cold Blood.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Personally, I'm working through extra gronk, a dull throb that comes from driving 100 miles yesterday with no muffler.

Another 100 today.

Thankfully? Repair Wednesday.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Quick healing and no post-herpetic neuralgia ma for your dad, vw. Also, CBD sounds fabulous and sweet.

Nekkid Jars! Sounds like a really interesting experience.

I think I am going to bike to Trader Joe's today for groceries. I am also going to spend an hour in the pool to work on my swimming technique. Sunday's tri clinic totally kicked my ass and showed me where I'm deficient. (Everywhere, unfortunately.)
