Spike ,'Get It Done'
[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.
Just got a bad phone call.
The woman who has been helping as a caregiver with my mom 5 days a week for the past few years was in a near fatal car accident last night. Questionable if she will ever walk again.
Oh my god! That's terrible! I can't imagine what everyone is going through down there right now between worrying about her and worrying about how this will affect your mom. D. is truly part of the family.
Drew, I am so, so sorry.
Dear Powers That Be, kindly KNOCK IT OFF with the tormenting of my chosen family members. Start treating them nicely, dammit.
ND is in Florida until the 29th but will likely have to go home for awhile after that. We may see each other around the time we leave to fly to Connecticut to see my family.
Seriously, I'm just done. We need some good news.
Pix, I hope you are at least in less pain today.

Conclusions from Shavuot: I have the best of friends on earth, and I do need to move out (again). Time with parents will cost me my sanity. The only problem: after spending most of the past nine years living with flatmates, I really need a place I'll love and feel comfortable with most, if not all, of its aspects and people and pets. Money aside, if I'll get one of my best friends to live with me, that would be great. If I'll get into serious relationship which will result in living together, even better.
(Living alone? Pfft. As much as I like it at (most) times, somebody that's not me gotta drive away the bugs and share the household duties and fuck-ups of old flats).
Fay, I hope you're alright.
Thanks, sj. I was better yesterday, but the pain got worse today. I suspect it's just a matter of nerves, though.
Oh gods, did I not say how worried I am about Fay?? Gah, I'm a bad friend lately. Fay, thinking of you and the Cat Daniel. Please check in when you can.
(((Pix))) I wish I could be there.
I'm sorry about your mother's caregiver's accident, ND.
Ah, ND, that's terrible news. I hope she recovers, and that your family can find someone who works out in the meantime.
IO(frivolous)N, it is sunny here, and I need to go to Target and to the grocery store. I need to get some bday gifts for my stepson. He will be 8 on the 29th, and his mom just informed us that he has decided he is a vegetarian. Summer in the midwest is a good time to explore this choice.
