Work has made me uber cranky again. Not even worth going into but I've realized that I am on a committee that exists purely to say that there was a committee. I am not allowed to actually have an opinion if the opinion strays from what the administration has already decided. I *hate* shit like that.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.

I am taking a sanity break at The Haunted Mansion.
I AM SO JEALOUS. I also wish that was an option for me. My work day would be vastly better if I could go on the Haunted Mansion.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
OMG. This is my last place of peace. FB has ceased to be that for me ever since my MiL joined.
I need to start blocking her. OMG.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am embarrassed to admit just how much...not better, but less unbearable, my day has become through the simple expedient of bringing a towel. It's been right next to me all day, and I can touch it every now and then and say, "By gum, I know where my towel is."
Really, it makes me feel enough better that I'm kind of worried about myself. I spent half my childhood as that crazy kid with the blanket (and then, later, that crazy kid with the worn-out Snoopy whose head was almost falling off from hugging); I really don't need to become known as the crazy lady with the towel.

A towel can be used to choke a bitch, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I forgot my towel.
Luckily, today held no Vogon poetry or other evils....

JZ, honey. I take advice from a fanged toy bunny. Really, you've got nothing to worry about.

Compassionately intolerant
Y'all are welcome for the links. I hope you find them useful. DBT gives me the "how" that I found missing in so much self-help stuff. Like, how do I do something I absolutely loathe and dread.
This is the very core of what I do these days. The How is so much more important than the Why, in my estimation.
And, JZ, the towel is an awesome tool! More than a simple object, it represents your choice to feel differently...plus a touchstone to both anchor and regenerate the choice.
Sounds way more practical than crazy to me.
o/!
hmph. My Paul Gross arms did not work.

I have not had my towel with me all day, but I have known where it was all day. A break at the Haunted Mansion might be nice.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Well, you're a froody (?) Dude who really knows where his towel is.
