There's no "have to" about it -- you're down and every hug is happily given. So go get your stuff done, but take care of yourself while you're at it.
'Underneath'
Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.
And thank you, but I don't want to be the person that everyone feels like they have to hairpat or who dominates the thread with her woes.
I'm saying this in the nicest, most loving way possible:
Shut. Up.
We love you. We want to hairpat and hug you. We want to Kermit wave just to see you smile, k?
(((((Kristin))))) What they said. You have earned your hugs and hairpats the hard way. Good luck getting your work done.
Thanks. Truly.
My upbringing tells me to say I'm fine and make a joke. Honestly, though, I'm depressed and lonely and hiding in my bedroom with the lights out.
I really hope you feel better soon, Kristin. You guys have had way too much to deal with this year.

I have brakes! I wish S was this nice all the time. He's making noise about moving back here from Hawaii and I'm scared because we have an empty room. D said he wouldn't let him move in but he is D's Dad and has worn D down on other stuff before (like lending him money).

I couldn't have said it better, Barb.
Hon, vent if you need to. We are here to hug and support as needed. We love and care about you and ND.

Blech. I'm stressy. And also crampy, which I thought was supposed to go away with the Yaz, but it seems to be getting worse. And I'm also spacey today, as usual -- I just can't concentrate on anything for more than about half an hour.
