Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
helpful hint: don't half-watch a tv show where the main character's last name is the same as yours unless you want to be startled out of online scrabble over and over again.
This message brought you by the frequent "Hey Nelson!"s sprinkled throughout Blood Ties. And the very irritated cat on my lap.
Anyone awake? And around? And similarly at loose ends today?
I'm here. I'm not so much at loose ends, but I'm vaguely discombobulated.
Ah, but are you working? Or getting ready for work? They just canceled school for the day, so my only plans for the day now consist of trying to free my car again... sometime. And given that I got four out of five schooldays off last week, I'm almost out of things to do with my free time.
Well, I mean, I could clean, but...
eta: or practice my Italian...
eata: or my Arabic...
eomtta: or proofread the incredibly boring book for my mother... Um, maybe I do have things to do. But I don't want to, is what I'm saying.
Good morning, Emily. Awake for some time. Already drove the kids to school and did some work stuff. This staying up late and getting up early is not the best plan.

This is what I've been telling my brain for going on twenty years now. It's not working.
I take it Florida isn't snowed in, then? That's good to know.
I've been at work for almost an hour now. Oddly, I'm less stressed out now than I was yesterday at my niece and nephew's birthday party.
It's cold! I could see my breath and everything. Didn't go so far as to put on shoes, but I did wear a sweater. Drove DH's truck because I need gas and his diesel wasn't happy with the cold either. It's 47! It's like Winter or something. (won't last)

Well, yeah. Party. Essence of stress! Also, I bet there were children.

That is nasty! Well, for Florida. Everything's relative.
The thing is, in therapy the week before, I was freaking out about seeing my family, and afterwords, I was all stressed out and hardly slept last night, but during the visit I was perfectly calm, and even less avoidy than usual. It's surreal, and probably not very healthy for me mentally.
Also: my youngest niece got to pick her own colors for her bedroom: [link]
