Faulkner to the rescue, as always.
(The Sound and the Fury, opening of the second chapter (June 2nd, 1910). The wonders that these 2-3 pages can do to me).
It's just a bummer that I was in such a good mood this morning, when I got up.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hi. Feeling somewhat better after getting some sleep.

Hil, I'm glad you're feeling better today. I hope Anne W. is too.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Kitty's job should just be to be a kitty.
Some kitties are very good at calming. I spent half of Sunday afternoon watching true crime TV with Coco snuggled in the crook of my arm. And if I'd been sitting up, Max would have been in my lap instead.
Very calming.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Shir, how ridiculous.
Slept a lot yesterday - a 3.5 hr nap and then again from 9 pm to 7 am. Still sick, but it's just a cold, so here I am.
Kitties are calming... unless they're being stressful.

I am wedding etiquette challenged--what's the difference between "save the date" and an invitation? Is it a timeframe difference? And if you receive a "save the date", is it automatic that you're going to get an invitation?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Invitations tell you what time to show up, and where, and what to wear, and all those details. Save the date tells you when the nuptials will be held.
I can't see any reason you'd tell someone to block it out on their calendar if they weren't going to be invited.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yes and yes. The save the date typically goes out as soon as a date is confirmed, so that you can then take six months dithering over the design of the actual invitations (and location and details and such) without freaking too much.
I would be surprised (and find it pretty rude) to get a save the date without an invite to follow. (Almost used an acronym there but thought better of it, though I guess that would also be surprising and rude.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm working a half day today so I can go to the funeral this afternoon.
Today is just generally miserable.
I wish someone hadn't sent me the link to the story about my friend's kid. Giant picture when the page loads. Could've done without that.
I'm kinda hungry, but forgot to grab money and really shouldn't do lunch what with leaving early and all, and I'm not even sure what I'd want.
Can this day be over now?
