Sorry, Hil.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
Oh, Hil. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Hil.
This whole process is rough, Hil. Hang in there.
I think Mom is starting to get bored in Florida. Her morning calls are getting longer and longer.
My dad decided that what we give to the dog will help him.
So he bought a 30 pound dog food bag, when we needed a new one.
On purpose.
I hate when I spend more time putting the baby down for a nap than he spends actually napping. Argh!
My friend Sandy's dog Gracie (who has cancer too)is refusing to eat dog food so Sandy's giving her whatever she wants: this week, for example, I know that she's had prime rib and roast chicken (from Whole Foods).
Also, the old burger and rice standby.
My former supervisor just stopped me in the hall to ask about Hubby. Nominally just a courteous gesture, but he had to chase after me from his office to do so, and he's not someone I'm in the habit of speaking to casually. It all felt weirdly significant in some way. He's an odd man, to me, very local, with little experience of the world outside of the Utah Mormon sphere. He finds the tale of Hubby's health etc. to be very disturbing and he doesn't know how to react, especially as I am very reticent about talking about it to people who are acquaintances-not-friends. He always strikes me as wanting to say "You're making that up," because I don't think he can conceive of living a life like mine. This encounter felt like he wanted to dabble in some high drama, which is probably unkind to him, but it's so completely out of the blue for him to make such an effort to find out what's going on.
