Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

[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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

One of the snowdrops I planted last fall has a flower budding. Yay!

I demand photographic evidence.

Here ya go. [link] The larger mass of green is an anemone that has come through the winter really well. But there's a wee snow drop among the foliage and the last of the recent snowfall.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh, Empress... did Jilli and I score the most amazing find for you today. I'm going to put it in the mail on Monday.

ETA: No, we did not randomly run into Daniel Radcliffe and stuff him into my trunk. No room.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Back from dinner. It was really good. We tried going to a wine bar afterwards, but it was too crowded for me, so we came home instead.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bleah, bleah, bleah. So horribly weary. My sinuses have always been nothing but torment, but they've been in hyperdrive for the last few months. And two weeks ago I went on a wild cleaning rampage, and ever since I've been staggering around feeling like someone had stuffed my chest with boulders. Waking every couple of hours with coughing fits Robitussin can't touch, spitting up vileness, clutching up every time I take a deep breath.

This morning I finally remembered a mostly-unused but not yet expired albuterol inhaler from a long ago walk-in clinic visit, dug it out and tried it, and...instant relief. I still feel like I've run a marathon with a hearty beating at the end of it, but the albuterol rolled the boulders right off my chest and they've stayed gone all day. Probably asthma, definitely asthma, or tickybox?

Also, since my day has been craptastic what with the marathon and the beating, I hereby decree days off and flowery snowdrops and guilt-free chili dog eating for everyone. Damnit.

Asthma, bronchitis or tickybox, actually.

Really, the treatment isn't all that different though. The inhaler is good.

asthma -- but it is not necessarily chronic.

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.

I'm glad you found something to help, JZ. I have no insights into the asthma thing, though.
