I'm getting ready to go out the door to work.

I would stay home, but many times Sunday is a slow day and I need that to ease back to work.

I also feel sorry for Windsparrow, we took a whole week of vacation together, and only got a little bit done.

Good luck, Daniel! Don't push yourself too hard.

Best of luck at work, Daniel.

whole week of vacation together, and only got a little bit done

Vacation is not to get things done! It's to relax and spend quality time with your SO.

Take it easy at work, today, Daniel. No relapses allowed!

I just finished reading less than 400 posts, so:

First, Sean. We don't know each other, but you have every bit of my sympathy for this really shitty situation. Take good care of yourself as well. I hope S will feel better soon.

Second, good luck Daniel! And crossing fingers for vw! And heal-fast-don't-get-sick~ma to those of us who need it.

Third...

I remember various of the songs I had, but figured I'd ask the Bitches if they have any suggestions. It's mostly cheesy stuff--I have some country songs ("Stand" by Rascall Flatts), "Fighter", by Christina Aguilera, "Stronger" by Kanye...I forget what else, I have to go through my music. Other suggestions?

My all time Twilight Singers favorite, Dead to Rights.

And fourth, even though it takes me AGES to read the posts in the threads in my message center, you are a bunch of amazing people. Strength to all.

I'm a little worried about visiting J today. I don't want to cry when I see him and upset him or his parents.

Oh, it'll be fine, sj. Don't worry, sweetie. If you cry, you cry. He'll probably hug you and try to make you feel better. He sounds like that type of kiddo.

So we had a quick photoshoot for publicity materials for Deathtrap this morning. I continue to be surprised by how not tall I am in real life. I never think of myself as vertically challenged, but the evidence of these photos, and indeed the photoshoot for the last play I was in (in which I looked like a hobbit in Rivendel) is beginning to suggest to me that, just possibly, I am not as tall as I think. Huh.

On the bright side, though, it seems that I'm also a bit less lard-arsed than I was expecting (since photos usually make me go "OMGWTFMrStayPuft!!!!"). So that's nice.

Why yes, We are an amateur group. Why do you ask?

Fay, you look luscious in that first pic. Were you all zombified for that last one, or is that actually the predecessor of the second?

sj, are you worried about something specific for J, or is it just generalized worry? Either way, much punctuation for you, and continued ~ma for the little guy.

I don't want to cry when I see him and upset him or his parents.

Oh, sj. I know this very well. My (young) sister is serving on the border of Gaza Strip, and at first it was very hard for me and my parents (it's still not a picnic, but after few months you get used to it. In a still-sometimes-worried-the-hell-lot-about-her-without-"real"-war-reason, but still). I'm sure it's a lot harder to my parents than me, and I really really want to be the brave and strong person and not collapse into fragile state of being around them, but trying to hide my feelings is so much harder and unproductive. I just can't: when I'm worried sick about her, I'm worried sick about her. Strangely, I don't have this problem when I get to talk with her/see her: I'm just so happy to be there for her, even in the slightest way that might be possible, that it overcomes every fear or anxiety I feel for her and the hell she's a part of.

So talk. Cry. It won't be better if you'll lock it inside you, and you might end up feeling worse.
