It's not impossible.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

[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.

Kitty home, he'll be on prednisone to help with the swelling. Not sure exactly where we go from here, but we have him home and happy and hungry for now

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, askye, that sounds pretty challenging. I hope it is easier than it seems, and that it has you feeling better fast.
I often feel like that happens when I travel and then come home, Hil. Something to do with the irritants being slightly different elsewhere, building sensitivity with exposure. Maybe. Or, you know, something is blooming or otherwise in the air out there that just isn't in SF and that's the thing that gets you.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think I'm allergic to the east coast. I got to SF, and I could breathe easily for the first time in months. Got back to DC, and within a few days, my sinuses are killing and I'm coughing again.
Anecdotally I do know a ton of people who swear they never had allergies before moving to the East coast.

As multiple job offers roll in, you could take that into consideration.

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

Hee. The place furthest west that's shown interest was in Arizona, and then one in Kentucky, and all the rest on the east coast. So far, anyway.

Thrive to spite them
My dad brought me food! YAY I got him How to Cook Everything for Christmas and he bought me gumbo that is his own recipe but tomorrow he's brining over pot roast from the book.
And he has plenty of time to cook -- he got laid off. Which he decided wasn't too bad. Last year he "semi retired" and was still working part time and trying to meet some financial goals. The severance pay covers those so he's okay with it.
Polter Cow if you see this How to Cook Everything is a great book for a beginner cook.

Oy. Someone contacted me through ancestry.com, saying she's doing research for a friend of hers. She gave me enough information about her friend for me to narrow it down to two cousins, both of whom have been involved in several feuds with my close relatives. Either of them, seeing my user name there and which part of the family I have info on, would have known who I was. The website also lets you see if someone else save a record that you've also saved, and she's been saving records from people that I'm related to but they're not, which is a little weird.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hil, I would give my left arm to trade sinuses with you. The entire Bay Area torments mine constantly in a way that I absolutely can't remember ever suffering during my college years on the east coast. Which, other than the sinus happiness, is just really not my home. I belong here, I love it here, I never want to leave here, but oh I would love to actually breathe here.
Tons of kitty~ma to Andy, and coping~ma to beth and Matt.
