Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Omnis, I'm sorry about your family getting your info mixed up. But, yeah, your dad could use a little clue, couldn't he?

I am worrying about the lack of heat at Daniel and Windsparrow's.

Not to worry. We are not suffering. It's been a bit chilly outside, but the only reason we turned the furnace on was because I'm a bit of a wimp. When we realized that the furnace potentially needed professional attention, I told Daniel it would be no problem to wait until Monday. I have my electric blanket on the bed, and two cats to keep me tucked in. We have space heaters, but have not even gotten them out yet. Daniel made brownies for me, and having the oven on made the house pretty comfortable.

If the furnace needs repair, at least we found out about it before a cold snap when it could not wait.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Why oh why did a bee just decided to come and die on my desk?

I'm fucking terrified of them. Or any bugs. Or any bugs with wings.

I left the room and have no idea where it is now, and I have way to many papers and mess on my desk for it too hide under.

Meh.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

And in the meanwhile: grandfather's situation, as presumed, is getting worse. Now the doctors think the cancer got to his lungs. As I said before, they already cut half of his cancer meds out since he was hospitalized because that didn't made him feel well.

Gonna visit him tomorrow with the family.

Joy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I hope it's not too difficult, Shir. You've had a lot on your plate recently.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'm trying to keep on what's keeping me sane and happy right now, that's all. I got all the nerve wrackness one can ask for, and more, so why stick to this? Though after the phone call from my mother I really looked up at the ceiling of my room, and thought "a-ha. OK. What's next?".

Will handle tomorrow when tomorrow comes.

And then, probably, just watch Dr. Who. Can't stay grumpy in front of this.

Maybe will add ice cream to this. Humm.

Ice cream and Doctor Who, sounds like reasonable coping mechanisms.

Baked goods and Muppets clips on YouTube have been known to work for some, as well.

“Not dead yet!”

Ice cream and Dr. Who sounds like a lovely antidote.

((Shir))

We are in Budapest, having just come back from doing some last minute shopping for the niecphews, and Eureka is on our TV dubbed in German. I have a wicked cold, and my head will surely explode tomorrow on one of the three planes it's going to take to get us home. Where's Joe and his transporter when you need 'em?

Other than that, I am fat (lots of pastries, no exercise) and well rested (that is, used to a nap every day) after two weeks here and in Krakow.
