Brain holiday sounds like a good idea.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

Car~ma to sj and TCG.
{{{JZ}}} I don't really know what kind of ~ma to send for you, but definitely health~ma for the doc next door and her little one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
JZ, let the brain take the weekend off on stressing and then talk to the kindly boss next week. Remind your brain that it can't help with this until Monday. So the weekend is for to relax.
erin, I am sorry for your friend's loss.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
bt, that sounds like an AWESOME week. Well, except for Slacker!Grandpa. Is it due to busy schedule? Or is there family friction? Can't imagine wanting to not see such an adorable baby.
Oh, he has his reasons. Slacker reasons.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
erin, kitteh~ma headed your way.
JZ, whatever-kind-of~ma would help for you. Sounds massively stressful - I hope it all improves soon.
I am going out for breakfast. Forms will look much nicer over the top of tea and eggs. Ooh, maybe I should go and look for pancakes. Hard to find here. Worth the effort.

Sausages and scrambled eggs...
The universe has forgiven me! We've managed to get a cancellation at the lovely lovely venue, on a *Saturday* (dude!), for a civil partnership date in August. Deposit has been sent. I'm going to be a married lay-dee. Yay.
It's nice when nice things happen to make up for the more irritating things.
Edited, 'cause I really have to stop calling this a wedding. Us in the UK haven't quite won *that* battle yet...

“Not dead yet!”
Kitty~ma for erin
JZ, let Matilta be a comforting love. Sometimes, that kind of unconditional care is just what you both need-- it's not that you're falling into some sort of trap of making her think she's responsible for your well-being, it's that she's learning to trust in and develop her empathy and nurturing skills. She's a sensitive girl and that's a good thing, especially at this age. I've seen entirely too many kids who are already thoughtless little beasts at far too young an age.

WOOOOT, Seska!

not your mom's socks.
JZ, your awareness about what is going on is a damn fine thing - especially about how it makes you feel. I spent the first part of a decade at Emo Craxy Nonprofit trying to work out what the problem was exactly (yes, I'm dense that way), and the second part railing against it from a position where I could say something (sometimes). I hope the situation gets better for you, and I'm joining in heaping heaps of health~ma on your neighbor and her baby.
Yay Seska!
11 years ago today, Sparky and my sister joined forces to keep me from tossing into the Harbor a parent, a photographer, two mothers of good friends, my husband-to-be who'd forgotten the rent check was due that day, and a preacher who decided that the extended version of 'love is like a salad' is a great simile to surprise the happy couple with. We're going to go buy a bike/trailerbike with a Craigslist check to celebrate. and we haz babysitter. huzzah.
