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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Well, it entertained me!

Pix, I so hate this whole mess. I wish I could be sitting with you.

Pix, do you need books or other distracting things we can send you for when your at the hospital? It is so hard to just sit there.

Pix, do you play Lexulous on FB? I'd be glad to start a game with you if it would help keep you distracted.

Seconded.

Sometimes sitting in a hospital room is the loneliest thing in the world, even when you aren't the patient. Maybe especially when you aren't the patient.

Watching to make sure they stay breathing gets very boring, but you just can't take your eyes away. I've found that shifting the damned uncomfortable chair so you can face them and link fingers is at least conducive to naps.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Thanks. I've never played; what is it?

Having company, even online company, helps. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I'd run out to pick Kaylee up from doggy day camp, get pet food, go home, feed pets, and then feed myself. I'm temporarily collapsed on the couch. I should turn around and go back to the hospital, but I'm too drained to get back in the car.

I don't want to complain or whine here because then Drew will eventually read it and feel guilty, which is the last thing I want. One of the downsides to be married to a fellow Buffista, perhaps.

He tells me not to rush over and not to worry about staying long, but it's hard when I never know when a doctor might show up and give is more news or test results or when Drew might have a period of lucidity and get bored or lonely.

It's like Scrabble.

Coffee: and thank you for the offer of books and such, but I'm usually too exhausted to focus on a book when I'm there. I do have a couple I'm reading currently when I have the energy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Pix, I know when I had my surgery, I really WANTED Jason to go home sometimes. I didn't have any energy to spend on worrying about him taking care of himself, and knowing he was home recharging was comforting.
