Awww, thanks, gang. You have made me feel better.
I just cancelled my plans for tonight, in favor of being at home watching a trashy vampire movie and drinking absinthe. And maybe sewing a pink and black lace spiked cuff.
One of the worst things about Body Image Demons is their imperviousness to objective opinion. People who don't even want anything from me tell me I'm pretty, and I just don't believe it.
This is indeed teh worst thing about Body Image Demons. Yes.
BID are evil. And lord knows they hit all of us--I was chatting with an ex the other day, and she was saying she's lost 30 pounds this year. Which, good for her, though AFAIK she doesn't need to at all. I mean, she's all about getting in shape and gaining muscle, but losing weight? Meh. I think she had gained a few pounds since I'd been seeing her nekkid, but...30? No. And I said something about not having weighed myself and she was like "Yeah, but you're little". And I boggled. Cause...no. But clearly, in her mind, I'm smaller than her. Even though I suspect she wore a smaller size than I did. :)
Thanks for the kind words, peeps. I wish I could say they were as effective as I know you want them to be, so I will lie and say they were.
Just talked to my sister, she's having an asstastic birthday. They just called 911 and Mom is being taken back to the hospital. She apparently feels rotten, has an elevated pulse, loss of appetite, and loss of feeling on one side. It could be another stroke, I'll hopefully know more in a few hours when they can call me back.
Oh ND, I'm so sorry. Your family's really being put through the ringer lately.
Yeah, it does seem that way.
I hope your mom will be ok, ND.
Oh Drew, I am sorry to hear that, for your, your sister's and your mom's sake. I hope it turns out to be dehydration or something easily solved and resolved.
Oh, no, Drew. I hope it's something quickly identified and easily solved. Thinking of you guys.
Now I really need this:
Ooh, shiny. I want it in dark gray. And I want it a lot.
I assumed that it was a different generic, but according to the pharmacist, they are not equal. I'm LIVID.
As well you should be! That is beyond .... words, apparently.
Oh Jilli! I was just about to post how cute your outfit is. You're just cranky and it's rubbing off on the clothes. I suggested the application of tea and chocolate.
What Burrell said.
