[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.

Sleep well sweetie. I hope the drugs give you some relief.

The status is NOT quo.

I should be feeling some relief by now, shouldn't I? Because I'm not.

Damnit, I wish I could send you some of the full flava codeine they gave me from my ear infection. Fucking geography.

Ugh, Pix. At least 1/4 of my FB prescription for you came through. I hope it helps, and soonest.

So, I met with a therapist for the first time in 5 years. She was nice, and it makes me feel proactive, at least. Gave me perspective: in one year, I have: had a hysterectomy, met, moved in and married D., completely changing my solitary lifestyle, got fired, became a stepmom.

She was all "Hmm. Are you being too hard on yourself for catching a depressive swing in before it goes down, after all of these huge changes?"

Me: "Uhhh...yeah? That's what I do!"

OTOH, I got to list Buffistas as part of my support system, which you guys totally are, so I just wanted to give you all some love.

Good lord, guys, what an IMPACT this board has made on so, so many people. It's really fan-fucking-tastic.

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

How long ago did you take the meds, and what did you take? I've usually found that ibuprophen takes about half an hour to kick in, codeine about 45 minutes, and Flexeril usually puts me to sleep before I can feel any effect, but then I feel much better when I wake up the next morning.

I posted when I took them, 5:18 board time, so maybe I just need to give it another 15 minutes. Thanks.

Pix, how long has it been, and did you eat anything? You might want to try another 1/2 tab of the Ty-co after a half an hour.

You're probably a tight ball of stressed out pain/anger/depression right now, which is just making you tenser. Is there any way you can take a hot shower, or alternate hot/cold packs on your shoulder?

Hijack away, Pix. Though hopefully it's a non-issue by now, what with the unconciousness and everything.

And to top off the day, just got a voicemail from new school saying that though I'm obviously a talented teacher, they don't think I'm a good fit for their community. Which makes me feel like shit, frankly, because clearly I screwed something up on the interview day.

I'm so depressed right now.

Oh for fuck's sake. I don't get that school's decision AT ALL. There is not a damned school community on Earth that wouldn't immediately be better with you as part of it.
