What he said.
Sorry you are needing a reboot, Erin. I hope you find some good chocolate or whatever you need to restart your confidence in the capable person you know you are.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

[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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Is there anything you can do like deep breathing that will help you relax, Erin? You know you can do this. You're just temporarily caught in a vicious circle.
The world is generous with its frosting towards those whom chocolate has betrayed.
This is a thing of beauty.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, erin, that sounds miserable, all of it. I've been in the spiral of suck at work and it is incredibly demoralizing. Wishing you the time and headspace you need to pull it all back together (and screw the discount chocolates; at this point you both need and deeply deserve a Moonstruck splurge).
Matilda's Papou got her this singing, wing-flapping monstrosity for Valentine's Day, and she's been amusing herself setting it off, smushing it against the "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" teddy bear her Aunt Judy got her in December, and saying proudly, "Look! They're kissing!" It's both vile and oddly adorable.

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.
Wow, is the Yahoo! email spam filter wacky in a not-so-good way. I just found something I had sent myself in it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yahoo's spam filter is insane. Things seem to end up there randomly. Sometimes it even filters stuff right into the Trash, even from addresses I've gotten mail from before.
Yet, I have four Yahoo email addresses.

(((smonster))) I hope you got some rest.
It looks like someone slashed one of our screen windows while we were out yesterday. We suspect our upstairs neighbors, but of course we have no proof.

Hopefully not so it can take a trip in the wayback machine.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
erin_o, I have been there and done that. In fact, I am being there and doing that right now. Keep breathing, focus on one thing at a time, take small breaks to stretch.
sj, you have some seriously sucky neighbors.
I finally got to sleep at 3:30, on the couch. Moved back to bed when roomie got up at 5. Overslept, 1.5 hrs late to work, and I'm pretty sure that Foster Kitty peed in my closet this morning but I didn't have time to confirm and clean.
Seriously, Monday? Go fuck yourself.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Smonster, yes we do. That's apparently what we get for trying to move to a quiet neighborhood.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
This weekend I am going to start a MAJOR culling of stuff from our house. It's all going into labeled boxes and into the basement for a HUNORMOUS yard/garage sale come springtime. First up - the master closet and kitchen. I don't need FOUR SETS of dishes. I really don't.
