amyth, even a milkcrate with a towel might help. I'd be seriously homicidal if denied a shower.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, it's probably worth getting a good stable shower stool for your recup time. My folks have one built into their (gigantic awesome walk-in) shower and it's great. We were going to buy this pretty teak one for ours, but it's expensive.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Working with kids, you have to expect nothing in the short term; I remember myself when I am frustrated and how I didn't really make the "Oh! This is TRUE!" or "This person lesson's were really valuable!' until I had more life experience to compare it to.
You get little flashes of validation from kids now and then, and it's great -- but you have to operate from the long-term growth idea. Esp. when you are working with at-risk kids, who in many cases take a HELLA long to time to build up trust and confidence in you. It really, really is show, not tell, with them, and no wonder, in so many cases.

Windsparrow, you have the loveliest way of putting things. I never cease to marvel at it.
Thank you, all, for the unwavering support and wisdom. Could not do this without y'all.
amyth, glad you got to bathe. The milk crate idea sounds like a good one - I'll bet one of your neighbors has one or something similar. Hmm. I might have one in the garage, will have to check.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Watched the first episode of Terriers, put the dried fruit to soak in the spiced rum for fruitcake, and made spaghetti carbonara for dinner.
I am not as stressed about the continuing horror of my tenants today, so I may actually get some sleep tonight.

Nora, it's been canceled, did you hear? But it's a glorious and pretty satisfying season, so don't let that stop you. Besides, I want to see if it moves Tom to ASSCAP.

I shamefacedly LOVE Mariah Carey's version of that. Big time.

Dude, I live in the middle of the biggest fucking hipster enclave this side of Williamsburg. Those goddamn straw hats and white belts are everywhere. I am TOTALLY IMMUNE to hipster disdain.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Maybe I'll buy a shower stool online while I'm laid up! I plan on doing all on the online shopping this week. Anyone want anything?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

OK! Of course, I'm marginally high on painkillers right now, so it's the perfect time to ask. I'll throw in Tom Hardy while I'm at it. AND A PONY.
How many Buffistas live in the LA area? I've lost track. I ask because I'm going to be in LA in January, barring any family emergencies, and I would love to see Buffistas. I should prob. post that in the F2F. thread, eh?
