Bev, I'm feeling better, thanks! I ate food this morning, woo! I hope your cold isn't too bad.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

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.

The status is NOT quo.
Drama free is not to be. Sitcom material, on the other hand...
Sigh.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I've lurked the last couple days because I got so far behind it was hard to catch up. I was also busy sewing this dress.
Yesterday I had two GERD episodes that were the worst I've ever had and they've scared me into moving my planned diet regimen start from after my Bay Area trip to now. It's going to be very hard to diet while folks are chowing down on holiday food but I'm going to try to remember how scary yesterday was and hope that motivates me to be strong.
It's sunny for once so I'll be getting out on the bike for the first time in a fortnight to help replenish my mom's stocks of Diet Rite. I may also buy some soups for me. If I can maintain the discipline, I may be going all-liquid for a day or two just to shrink my appetite a bit.
The huge Jerry Springerish horde that is my family will be descending upon us today and tomorrow so I plan on spending a lot of time in my room. Which should also make the diet easier.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The kitchen is full of cookies!

“Not dead yet!”
My kitchen is getting there re: cookies. The fudgy fantasies are cooling. The gingerbread dough is coming to room temp in prep for rolling out and cutting.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
it's a miracle! my throat agony is down to dull irritation, i slept for more than 4 hours last night, and i dreamt of pie. Actually looking forward to work tomorrow. Yup, definitely feeling better :) Keeping my fingers crossed that the delicate voice can survive an entire 10 hr shift, but xmas day is usually one of the slow ones so i have well-founded hope.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having been in Best Buy twice yesterday, you're a crazy person, Connie. The crowds weren't frantic, but the lines were long. And there was no getting around that.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Less-drama~ma, Pix.
Anti-itchy thoughts for you, smonster!
We've spent the last three days visiting family, and are now back in Nottingham for our first Christmas just the two of us, which we're oddly excited about (generally being bah humbug types). I've managed to wrap The Girl's presents and drag them downstairs and they're under the tree. I just woke up my Jewish atheist from her nap before I drag her to midnight Mass, but not before we read some ghost stories (or watch the seasonal QI episode with Daniel Radcliffe). We've decided to be a walking cliché this year AIFG. Presents! Turkey! Carols! Corrupting of Jewish atheists! All the traditional stuff.

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.
Ta Da! I got to leave work after 3 1/2 hours. There's been light snow off and on all day, but so far the roads remain passable.
WindSparrow, how are you feeling?
My throat is all better. I'm hoping to avoid a repeat of a couple of years ago, when I had the same thing every month for 5 months. Thinking about it is a little panic-making.
I'm sorry to hear that you are getting itchy again, smonster. How is your sister? Holding steady for now?
It would be great if your almost-ex-roommie joined us.
Ginger, I trust you were able to collect Mr. Peabody and get on the road. Also, safe driving.
Pix, sorry to hear about the drama.
Spidra, I hope you get some peace for your gut as well as for your higher functions.
