{{{Drew}}} I hope you can get some time for yourself to mourn and rest soon. I can't imagine how hard it must be to pretend you are fine with all you're going through.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

[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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Colorado drivers license has been achieved. AND I registered to vote too! Woot.
Line was horrible, but all I had to do was take a vision test (no glasses, yay). Didn't have to do a written or drive test. So, now I have a California license with a hole in it and a paper Colorado license. I should get the real one in the mail in 1-4 weeks.
{{{Drew}}} I worry about the time when my mom will need that level of assistance. She is already losing her hearing and does not handle change well. This move has really stressed her out and I get all the fall out.
Gah, sorry for the meme there. Take care of yourself Drew. That is the only way you will be able to take care of anyone else. MWAH!

Go you! It took me about 18 months to do that and I only moved one state over.
I got dressed up tonight and we went out for a yummy dinner and a couple of drinks. I think I managed to break the awful, nasty mood I have been in for the past couple of weeks.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Can Teppy's boy teach walking in high heels at the BA? Heaven knows I never learned.
Ginger, if I ever get him around a group of Buffistae, he will *happily* teach anyone who wants to learn. For HOURS.
I've been busy all day today -- Fridays are the "off" day for the 4-day/10-hour-day workweek -- getting an eye exam and paying shitloads of money for new glasses and contacts, and then seeing my primary-care doctor to get a referral to a hand surgeon because my wrist, after 4-5 months is not any better, and then doing tons of laundry (which, shit, I just remembered there's laundry on the clothesline outside and it's dark now).
Anyway, I wanted to pop in and wish vw a happy happy birthday and offer more good thoughts in Drew's direction and some extra cardiac-ma to connie's DH.
And now I'm going to rescue the laundry before everything gets all dew-ed upon.

ND, I wish there was something more I could do for you than just keep you in my thoughts.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Um, wow, just caught up after a long time away.
Hugs, hugs, and more hugs to ND, SeanK, my darling Kristin and anyone else who needs em. Really wish i were there to bring over tasty, nourishing food and bathe the kitten for you. it isn't fun, but i'm pretty good at it.
And i somehow missed Meara in PDX :( Oh well, i've been a big bundle of zero fun for months now. Wondering what happened to my fun self....and how to find her again.
Attempted dying my hair over the weekend, cuz i'm displeased with the "growing out" phase (now in year two since hair donation) and wanted some excitement. Bad. Bad. Not good. Dumb. Should have paid more attention to the dye box: permanent. Not gonna wash out. Displeased. Was supposed to be a nice rich dark red, but all it did was erase all highlights and depth and color complexity from my hair and leave it a boring, dull, same-color mass that feels *wrong* texturally when i wash it. Not pleased. Never dying my hair a "normal" color ever again. At least purple eventually washed out....
Trying to decide about job situation, boy situation, life situation, everything. Mid-life crisis continues unabated even after whole quitting career and moving gambit. (tho i do hope this is NOT my midlife, would like to make it just a wee bit longer....)
Buffista academy is a fantastic idea and would be an excellent preparation for post-apocalyptic compound. I'm thinking like the academy in X-men...but even more self-contained, with plenty of gardens and pretty secure spaces. I can teach croquet and synchronized swimming to up the awkward, intellectual sporty factor. (Contrary to all logic about depriving the brain of oxygen, synchro swimmers tend to be obscenely overly intellectual, nerdy, artsy, and have super high GPAs. Can also help with some teaching. My MFA ought to be useful for something. )
More *hugs* and ~ma of many kinds to all what needs em.
